Gimme Sympathy

Tom: G

G

[Verse 1]

    G
Get hot
                     G/F#
Get too close to the sun
           Em
Wild, open space
                  Am
Talk like an open book
       G
Set me up
                  G/F#
No time to take a picture
              Em
I'll remember someday
                   Am
All the chances we took

[Pre-Chorus]
         C     C/G
We're so close
   C                C/G    D     D/A D D/A
To something better left unknown
         C     C/G
We're so close
   C                C/G    D     D/A
To something better left unknown
Bm                  Em
I can feel it in my bones

[Chorus]

C          G
Gimme sympathy
G/F#                 Em
After all of this is gone
C                    G
Who would you rather be
    G/F#                   Em
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
C          G
Oh, seriously
       G/F#                     Am
You're gonna make mistakes, you know
G/B            G       C
Come on, baby, play me something
D                    Em
Like "Here Comes the Sun"


[Verse 2]

G/F#  G
Don't go
                    G/F#
Stay with the all-unknown
                   Em
Stay away from the hooks
                   Am
All the chances we took

[Pre-Chorus]
         C     C/G
We're so close
   C                C/G    D     D/A D D/A
To something better left unknown
         C     C/G
We're so close
   C                C/G    D     D/A
To something better left unknown
Bm                  Em
I can feel it in my bones

[Chorus]

C          G
Gimme sympathy
G/F#                 Em
After all of this is gone
C                    G
Who would you rather be
    G/F#                   Em
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
C          G
Oh, seriously
       G/F#                     Am
You're gonna make mistakes, you know
G/B            G       C
Come on, baby, play me something
D                    C
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
G                      D
Come on, baby, play me something
                     C
Like "Here Comes the Sun", come on now
G                 D
Won't you play me something
                     G
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
