Capo 2 without cello
Capo 3 with cello
I’ll leave it to you to figure out where she hammers on the chords in certain places.
        Em C  Am D/F#
INTRO:           
Em
Sorry I'm only 
C
Human you know me
Am                     D/F#
Grown up oh no guess again 
Em
My days always
C
Dry up and blow away
Am                        D/F#
Sometimes I could do that too
But make no mistake that 
G        G/F#   Em
When you need a friend
Am                 D/F#
You could count on anyone 
    G        G/F#   Em
But you know I'll defend 
    Am           D/F#
The tragedy that we knew as 
     Am Am7C          Am7  C
              (Strum  and  once)
The end 
Em
Progress, changing
C
Growing then giving up
Am                                D/F#
Somehow we're never quite prepared 
But I understand it 
G        G/F#   Em
When you need a friend
Am                 D/F#
You could count on anyone 
G            G/F#   Em
But you know I'll defend 
    Am           D/F#
The tragedy that we knew as 
     Am Am7C             Am7
            2x   (Strum  once) 
The end 
G                  Em
So taking you with me would be like 
Am              D
Taking all your money to the grave 
G      G/F# Em     Am      D
It does no good to anyone especially 
    G          G/F#       Em
The one you're trying to save 
         G      G/F#Em      C    D              C   D
                                *  (slide from  to *)
But it's so hard not to save 
G        G/F#   Em
When you need a friend 
Am                 D/F#
You could count on anyone 
    G        G/F#   Em
But you know I'll defend 
    Am           D/F#
The tragedy that we knew as 
     G
The end
