This song consists of primarily barre chords, but does have some open ones. Watch the video to see where
the open chords are.

Also I can't tell if he's playing G# or G#m, but I thought G#m sounded better.


B*
This just dawned on me
                    E*                  G#*
I haven't spoken to another person in a week
B*
I've been sitting silently
            E*                G#*
Telling myself I need time to think
E*
I met you at the coffeeshop
                  B*                         G#*
We marched on the interstate and blocked the cops
E*
The echoes of the flash grenades
            B*                G#*
Rang in our ears as we moved along

B*
I called it "positivity,"
                  E*                    G#*
And congratulated myself on a job well done
B*
But after a couple of days
                E*                             G#*
The fire that I thought would burn it down was gone
Emaj7
Meet me at the Polish bar
            B*                G#*
I'll be the one looking at my phone
E*
Shaking like a nervous kid
           B*                 G#*
Absolutely terrified of being alone

B
So where can you go when the troubles inside you
Emaj7
Make your limbs feel like they're covered in lead?
B
How can you solve all the problems around you
Emaj7
When you can't even solve the ones in your head?
   B       E     B
I need you right now
   B       E     B
I need you right now
  E**                 C#m
Before I feel totally dead

E        G       B          
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO OOOOOH!
E        G 
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO -
B*
It came on suddenly
                    E*                  G#*
I haven't spoken to another person in a month
B*
Well, small talk, OBVIOUSLY
               E*                  G*
But nothing beyond barely catching up
Emaj7
I have lots of things to say
                        B         G#m
But they're gonna sound dumb dumb dumb
Emaj7
I have lots of things to say
                B   G#m
But I'm just an idiot

B
So where can you go when the troubles inside you
E
Make your limbs feel like they're covered in lead?
B
How can you solve all the problems around you
E
When you can't even solve the ones in your head?
   B       E     B
I need you right now
   B       E     B
I need you right now
   E**                C#m
Before I feel totally dead

E        G       B          
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO OOOOOH!

Aadd9
Shriek into the toxic well
      E                     B**
Where everybody's screaming for themselves
    Aadd9                              F#
And leaves no space to process feeling lost
      Aadd9
These overwhelming distractions
        E              B**         Aadd9
Lead to pow-pow-pa-powerlessness
                               F#
And I feel too weak to walk it off

B** E G#m (x2)

Emaj7
Meet me at the Polish bar
            B                 G#m

Emaj7
Shaking like a nervous kid
        B                   G#m
Totally terrified of being alone

I need you right now
