Mayday Parade - A Shot Across The Bow Chords

Key of C
Capo 3


[Verse 1]
A2
It's time I said this
                           F#m
But I'm so choked up and I need my sanity
                                D                   E                    A2
I'm scared, believe me, you can see me smile if you let me just stick around.

A2
Well this is bye-bye baby
                       F#m
It isn't like a sudden stop on a freight train
                            D                    E                   A2
If you're not happy and you hurt this much, then let me just stick around.


[Pre-Chorus]
          D                       E
But can I have one second of your time?
                          D
If I don't it'll drive me crazy.
                          E
As I drop to my knees and scream,
I hate you more than you could know.


[Chorus]
A2     
I hope you fall into the ocean
E                                              F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                   E          D
As the waves crash over you until you drown.
     E
(And fall away..)
A2
And hold a funeral for nothing
E
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
F#m          E              D            E        A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground


[Verse 2]
A2
Now it's back to reality 
                         F#m
I'm up in shambles but I guess that's how I should be
                              D                   E             A2
I knew the wedding bells were ringing well, but my bride was missing.

A2
It's not supposed to hurt this much
                        F#m
But when someone slowly breaks it off
                           D                   E           A2
It tends to leave a bitter taste, a scar, that slowly rips apart.


[Pre-Chorus]
        D                       E
Could I have one second of your time?
                           D
If I don't, it'll drive me crazy.
                          E
As I drop to my knees and scream, 
I hate you more than you could know.


[Chorus]
A2     
I hope you fall into the ocean
E                                             F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                   E        D
As the waves crash over you until you drown.
     E
(And fall away..)
A2
And hold a funeral for nothing
E
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
F#m          E              D             E       A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
          
F#m F#m D  D       F#m F#m D  D
            Underground..

[Bridge]
F#m
I've had enough, but it's all for the best.
E
I need to get a few things off my chest.
C#m   
There's got to be another way I can say it,
       D              E
But to get it right, I have to think straight.
F#m
Hope he tastes like the way I used to taste.
E                                        C#m
I can't believe I'd even say this to you now.
     D         E         A2
When you won't listen at all.

[Outro]
A2     
I hope you fall into the ocean
E                                             F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                   E            D                  E
As the waves crash over you and over you until you drown. 
A2
And hold a funeral for nothing
E
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
F#m          E              D             E       N.C.              
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
F#m          E              D             Dm      A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground.
