Panic Cord Cifras

*In the real song, a high G is played on the high e string
throughout the song, but it sounds fine without it.
However, I do recommend keeping the high G held
during the bridge.
 
Capo 7
 
Em  C  G (2x)
 
 
[Verse]
 
C                                G
You kept all the things I threw away.
C                                  G
A leaf I picked a birthday card I made.
C                         Am                          Em      D
Holding on to memories of you and me we didn't last a year,
C (once)                   Am (once)
  We're just a box of souvenirs.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em    C  G                     Em
  May-be    I pulled the panic cord
      C  G                       Em
  May-be    you were happy I was bored
        C             G
Maybe I wanted you to change 
Em      C           G
  Maybe I'm the one to blame
 
 
[Verse]
 
C                                     G
This meant more to you than it did to me.
C                                G
I was full of doubts and you believed.
C                                 Am                          Em      D
The more that you keep comin' over, the more I know it's over dear.
 
C (once)                   Am (once)
  We're just a box of souvenirs.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em    C  G                     Em
  May-be    I pulled the panic cord
      C  G                       Em
  May-be    you were happy I was bored
        C             G
Maybe I wanted you to change 
Em      C           G
  Maybe I'm the one to blame
Em    C  G                            Em
  May-be    you were just too nice to me
    C  G                             Em
May-be    it took me way too long to leave
        C              G
Maybe once we felt the same 
Em      C           G
  Maybe I'm the one to blame
Em      C           G
  Maybe I'm the one to blame.
 
 
[Bridge]
(for the bridge, keep playing a G on the high e string at all times)
 
D           Em
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
C
That's the way the story go-oes  (2x)
 
 
[Chorus]
(Strum each chord once for the first half of the chorus)
 
Em    C  G                     Em
  May-be    I pulled the panic cord
      C  G                       Em
  May-be    you were happy I was bored
        C             G
Maybe I wanted you to change 
Em      C           G
  Maybe I'm the one to blame
 
(begin normal strumming again)
 
Em    C  G                            Em
  May-be    you were just too nice to me
    C  G                             Em
May-be    it took me way too long to leave
        C              G
Maybe once we felt the same 
Em      C           G
  Maybe I'm the one to blame
Em      C           G
  Maybe I'm the one to blame.
Em      C           G (once)
  Maybe I'm the one to blame.
