Newborn History Lyrics

Capo SECOND fret. All frets and chords ARE relative to the capo.
Bsus4: x22400
Asus2: x02200
C#m*: 446650
I think the C#m sounds better with the G# bass note if
you're playing solo acoustic, and is actually written
like this: "C#m/G#" but for shorthand, I'm writing it
like this: "C#m"
You can play it regularly if you wish, just leave out
the lower G# on the low E string.
This is the basic pattern for the intro/verses, listen to the
song for the exact strumming pattern, but this will give you
the basic idea. I will write in the chords above the lyrics,
but just be aware that the strumming pattern is generally
as shown below. Also, take note of the slight hammer/pull
between the Asus2 and the E.
Intro/Verse Strumming pattern:

Verse:
Is there something you've been waiting for
su
For a long time
A stupid game where you've been keeping score
in your mi________nd
You write the books in your head
I'll keep the last days inste_____ad
Can you calculate an even cure
su
And a cri___me
Chorus:
So you come around and we all slow down
So you come around and I tried to wear you out
With my newborn history
A faithless eulogy
And if I can't keep you down
no one will
Verse:
I have seen the bones beneath the stare
of your e______yes
Have you traded in the yellow hair
for cheap smiles
Call you another doctor
This one seems to think you're just fi_____ne
I have tasted all your sympathy
And I don't care
Chorus:
So you come around and we all slow down
So you come around and I tried to wear you out
With my newborn history
A faithless eulogy
And if I can't keep you down
no one will
So you come around and we all slow down
So you come around and I tried to wear you out
Wear you o________ut (wear you out)
I tried to wear you out
(repeat last two lines until the end)
