Decided to try if an even easier version would work. This sounds just about right,
but all corrections are greatly appreciated.
For the fun. version, play on capo 5. Might you want to belt along with the Glee
version (which isn't half bad, even I must admit), put your dear capo all the way up to 7.
Verse:
CGive me a second I
I need to get my story straight
AmMy friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than the empire state
Fmy lover she's waiting for me
just across the bar
DmMy seats been taken by some sunglasses
Gasking 'bout a scar
Cand I know I gave it to you months ago
Am I know you're trying to forget
Fbut between the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
Dm Gyou know I'm trying hard to take it back
Pre-chorus
F Gso if by the time the bar closes
C Am Fand you feel like falling down
F GI'll carry you home
Chorus [x2]
CTonight
AmWe are young
FSo let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Gthan the sun
Verse 2:
CNow I know that I'm not
all that you got

The angels never arrived
but I can hear the choir
so will someone come and carry me home]
