Any Other Way Lyrics

WHAT'S UP?!?!
This thing took me a few hours of serious concentration, ear-straining, and
finger-pounding, so I really hope you enjoy it! If it isn't accurate, well, then my face
is purple.
:D This is a really cool song with amazing lyrics, and I hope this song means as much
to you as it did to me. Have fun!!

Don't say goodbye, don't say hello.
We're just standing on the surface.
Don't say alright, Don't say I know.
I promise it's not worth it.
I want to know who you are
Even if you're fallin' apart
Reach in and touch your scars
All the shame you've kept in your heart
It's not enough, it's not enough, just to say that we're okay.
I need your hurt, I need your pain. It's not love any other way.
Let's not pretend, stop your parade
Trying to convince me
That you're alright and everything's okay
Do you even know me?
I already know who you are
And all the things that kept us apart
Reach in and touch my scars
Know the price I paid for your heart
It's not enough, it's not enough, just to say that you're okay.
I need your hurt, I need your pain. It's not love any other way.
A broken, contrite heart,
I will not despise.
Come as you are.
I won't close my eyes!
I won't close my eyes!
I won't close my eyes!
I won't close my eyes!
It's not enough, it's not enough, just to say that you're okay.
I need your hurt, I need your pain. It's not love any other way.
It's not enough, it's not enough, just to say that you're okay.
You need my hurt, you needed my pain.
It's not love any other way.
It's not love any other way.
It's not love any other way.
Just in case you're not certain what a "C7" is, it is a C chord with a B note (the
seventh note above C)thrown in. Here's one simple way to play it on piano and guitar:
GUITAR: If you play a regular C chord and just take your finger off the B string, then
you have a C7 chord:
normal C chord:
e- 0 (play open)
E- x (mute)
C7 chord:
B- 0 C-E-G-B for C7)
Yes, this means FOUR fingers playing one chord :O
Now, when I play this song on piano, I start off the verse with a 2nd inversion C chord,
and from there the C7 is super easy. All you gotta do is play what looks like an
inversion of an Em chord but still play a C in the bass; so basically, you just switch
out the C in your 2nd inv. C major chord with the B right next to it. It's a one finger movement,
not so difficult. :)
Well guys, that's all I got for ya! I hope it all makes sense and you enjoy playing this
great song... Keep on jamming and look for more of my tabs!
