85 Acordes

This is basically a stripped down, solo acoustic version. If you wanna play electric,
try using the bar chords.
 
 
intro (i play this twice):
e----------------15------|
B-----------15-----------|
G--7---12----------------|
D------------------------|
A------------------------|
E------------------------|
 
For the C chord, pluck the strings in this order: A D B G D G
For the Fmaj7 chord, pluck the strings in this order: D G B G D G (sometimes switch out the B with the
E string)
 
C Fmaj7 x6
 
 
Verse 1:
C           Fmaj7
I'm just of real sad folk
    C       Fmaj7
And '85 was our best year
   C             Fmaj7
And she says it gets much worse
       C              Fmaj7
Before it gets any better
 
Prechorus, strummed (you can absolutely still pluck this, i just play it this way):
Am           G                 Fmaj7
  So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
  Am               G             Fmaj7 (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night
 
Like it does me
 
(under a solo)
C Fmaj7 x2
 
 
Verse 2:
C           Fmaj7
We talk the way you do
C         Fmaj7
 I have a sweet or two
    C        Fmaj7
For my only plus you say
        C              Fmaj7
They're getting bigger everyday
 
 
Pre-chorus:
Am        G                  Fmaj7
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
  Am               G             Fmaj7 (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep him up at night
 
Like it does me
 
(under a solo)
C Fmaj7 x2
 
 
Chorus:
Am      G       Fmaj7
I'll be in your car
Am           G            Fmaj7
I locked the keys in your car
Am      G       Fmaj7
I'll be in your car for now
 
C Fmaj7 x2
 
 
Verse 3:
C         Fmaj7
You wanna fool around? I ask
C       Fmaj7
I get a sour reply
C              Fmaj7
From the other wheel
            C              Fmaj7
That always rises to the occasion
 
 
Pre-chorus:
Am        G                  Fmaj7
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
  Am               G             Fmaj7 (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night
 
(under a solo)
C Fmaj7 x 2
 
 
Chorus:
Am      G       Fmaj7
I'll be in your car
Am           G            Fmaj7
I locked the keys in your car
Am      G       Fmaj7
I'll be in your car for now
 
(under another solo)
C Fmaj7 x a lot
hold an Fmaj7 at some point and then strum the chords each only once and holding it:
 
C Fmaj7 x 2
 
then, again strumming each chord only once and holding it:
 
 
Verse 4:
C           Fmaj7              C
I've been a mess for some time now
      Fmaj7
I get what I deserve
  C             Fmaj7            C
For someone who leaves behind a life
           Fmaj7
I can't do better
 
 
Pre-chorus:
Am        G                  Fmaj7
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
  Am               G             Fmaj7 (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night
 
(Up at night, up at night, up at night)
 
Like it does me
