This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

The Movielife - Hey

Chords listed are the standard shapes (actual pitch will be a semitone lower due to half step down tuning)

In some live versions you will see/hear the band play it tuned a whole step down, but the album version

is half step down

The final chorus has a slight change - no rung out E chord half-way, plus an extra 3 chords to end on

Lyrics:

Hey, I geuss I'll figure it out

The reasons why things went the way they did

And why we can't accept it

We'd Fall asleep, but not before we excorcised the evil things that everyone

Hides

We would lie there in my bed,

Do you remember all those nights we never slept

No clothes, sweaty doing all those things I never thought I'd do

And I did them with you

and hey, don't feel bad.

No one can ever take away the boardwalk trips or the subways

I think we grew up

Past the hang-ups and the evil stares

The f*ck you toos and I don't cares

We would lie there in my bed,

Do you remember all those nights we never slept

No clothes, sweaty doing all those things I never thought I'd do

And I did them with you

Hey, I geuss I'll figure it out

The reasons why things went the way they did

And why we can't accept it

We'd Fall asleep, but not before we excorcised the evil things that everyone

Hides

We would lie there in my bed,

Do you remember all those nights we never slept

And even though we brought it crashing to an end, I loved it all

And now I love my friend

I loved it all,

I love the girl,

I love my friend.
