Chords by Brixton Parker
Questions / corrections at [email protected]
This whole song is played ska style (upstrokes on offbeats, muted or no downstrokes) except the bridge,
which is strummed normally.
He probably plays with barre chords as that's par the course for this style of music, but to make it simpler
I transcribed it for
, which is almost all open chords.

A little hope tonight
D G C Am D
It was small but it was all I needed
G C Am
A split second when
D G
We both lost control
C Am
It wasn’t just me
D G
It wasn’t just me
C Am D G
When we stopped in the street and you stopped breathing
Am
Your head tilted back
D (strummed)
Heart attack
D (strummed)

Your head leaned back

Three months of frustration and self mutilation

All burned away in the middle of the street

But later that night you brought it all back

Why did I do that

Why did I do that

Afraid to be alone with me

You know I’ll ask and then you’ll crash

Now I know why you’re afraid of me
