I Went In

Tom: Em

G
G         C       Am 
A little hope tonight
D         G              C        Am  D
It was small but it was all I needed
G         C      Am
A split second when
    D             G
We both lost control
            C       Am
It wasn’t just me
      D         G
It wasn’t just me
           C             Am        D              G
When we stopped in the street and you stopped breathing
      Am
Your head tilted back

D (strummed)
Heart attack

D (strummed)
HEART ATTACK


(muted strumming)Em
You closed your eyes
                  B
And opened your mouth
             C              B
Nothing came out so I went in
                 Em                    G (stop muting and crescendo)
You closed your eyes and opened your mouth


           C             D             G
We both stopped in the middle of the street
             C             D         G
Id like to think that it wasn’t just me
                  C
Your head leaned back
D       Em
Heart attack
           C             D              G
We both stopped in the middle of the street

(muted strumming)Em
You closed your eyes
                  B
And opened your mouth
             C              B
Nothing came out so I went in
                 Em                    G (stop muting and crescendo)
You closed your eyes and opened your mouth


Em
(rhythmic strumming, listen to the song to get the pattern)
Em              Am            D          G     D       
   Three months of frustration and self mutilation
Em              Am                          D
    All burned away in the middle of the street
                G       D                 Em (muted strumming)
But later that night you brought it all back
Em             C
Why did I do that
               D (stop muting and crescendo)
Why did I do that

         C   D        G
Why are you afraid of me
           C   D        G
Afraid to be alone with me
               D                    Em
You know I’ll ask and then you’ll crash
            G           D        G
Now I know why you’re afraid of me

(muted strumming)Em
You closed your eyes
                  B
And opened your mouth
             C              B
Nothing came out so I went in
                 Em                    G (start chopping it up)
You closed your eyes and opened your mouth
                 Em
You closed your eyes
                  B
And opened your mouth
             C              B
Nothing came out so I went in
                 Em                    G (stop muting and crescendo)
You closed your eyes and opened your mouth
