Sad Song Lyrics
Hi. This is an ear-transcribed fingerpicking of Sad Song - Christina Perri.
Capo: 4th fret
Pay attention in the dynamic of the notes (piano and mezzo forte).
The higher notes and 1st bass are often mf.
This "balance" marks the rhythm. (This serves to the strumming too.)
Intro:
Verse:
(Today I'm gonna write a sad song...)
(Repeat this whole sequence 2 times then add the next bar)
(In the chorus and bridge parts, you just strum.)
(Chorus)
I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just to let me know that growing up goes slow
(After chorus) G
(Then back to verse fingerpicking.)
(Verse)
(Chorus)
I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just to let me know that growing up goes slow
(Bridge)
All the rules are meant to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again
Cause no one's going to take your place
And I'm scared we'll never save all the pieces
of love we made
(Chorus)
I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just to let me know that I can slip and fall
And you wont let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow.
I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just to let me know that growing up goes slow
