Catch Without Arms
Connect Sets EP
I play the song with my guitar tuned a whole step down (DGCFAD), if you don't tune your 
one step down the chords equal:
Dm--(Cm)
C---(A#)
A#--(G#)
F---(D#)
Gm--(Fm)
D---(C)
A---(G)
Verse I:
 Dm(Cm)
   I'm not your star
I'm not that beam of light
                   C(A#)
Here to save your life
To make your wallet fat
While mine's on a diet
 A#(G#)
    It's not my greatest care
                      C(A#)
But simple needs are scarce
It's never-ending
Verse II:
It really seems unfair
But lately I don't care
I don't care about much
I've given up trying
So sing about love
Sing about lust
So they will care
It's the same difference
Chorus:
 F(D#)                          C(A#)
  That's what happens when you play catch without arms
           Gm(F#m)             A#(G#)
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
 F(D#)                        C(A#)
That's what happens when you compromise your art
           Gm(F#m)          C(A#)
It's what sets, sets, sets apart
Verse III:
We've got this far
I don't know if you care
But I think that you should swear
Or something of the sorts
Show me your trying
So sing about love
Sing about lust
So they will care
It's the same difference
Chorus:
That's what happens when you play catch without arms
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
That's what happens when you compromise your art
It's what sets, sets, sets apart
Bridge:
 D(C)   Gm(F#m)   A#(G#)  
(A#)
         D(C)
Set the bait so they will buy it
              Gm(F#m)
If there's a hook they can't deny it
            A#(G#)
Sing about love so they can feel it
            A(G)
Sing about love so they can sing it
Sing it
Solo (Verse IV):
 Dm(Cm)   C(A#)   A#(G#)  
(A#)
Chorus:
That's what happens when you play catch without arms
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
That's what happens when you compromise your art
It's what sets, sets, sets apart
Outro:
 D(C)  Gm(F#m)   A#(G#)  
(A#)
              D(C)
I'm not your star
              Gm(F#m)
I'm not that beam of light
           A#(G#)
Here to save your life
  A(G)
Oh no
Not your star
Not that beam of light
Here to save your life
Oh no
