Possibility Days – Counting Crows
Nghệ sĩ: Counting Crows
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
I got a bunch of requests for this song, so here it is. It's simpler than it sounds
actually even though it is Charlie playing the piano.
You will notice that the intro is repeated at the end of each chorus, until the last
few. Also, the Cmaj7 from the intro is sometimes used in the verse in place of C, but
that's really just improvisational. Sounds great of course, but it's not necessary.
There is one moment in the first pre-chorus where the 12-string plays an A note, which can
be played on a normal guitar as an A8 (octave). That octave also sounds good as a 5th if
you feel so inclined (I think it's easier). For the rest of the song that part is played
as a D. It makes for a slightly jarring transition, but it makes it quite satisfying when
the song falls into the predicted I-V-VI-IV pattern.
Capo 3
Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Was a cold 3 AM at JFK
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I guess you stayed cause you wanted to stay
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And we went from zero to everything all in a day
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And then Kennedy took you away
Pre-Chorus 1
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]8([ch]A5[/ch])
I thought of a short robe that was keeping you warm
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the moments that make up your life till you wake up
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You sit on a swing in the dark with a girl
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And she tells you she wanted to kiss you
([ch]C[/ch])
And you know that
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The worst part of a good day is hearing yourself say
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Goodbye to one more possibility day
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It goes on
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch
And on...
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I go west but your weather has changed
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You're just scared, I mistake it for strange
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
When you want me to leave then you start to believe I should stay
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I gotta get out of L.A.
Pre-Chorus 2
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
It seems like the short days are over
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Cause you just don’t sleep in the daylight, so I don’t sit up nights
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I lie on my back on top of the hill
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And your body is breaking the sky 'cause you're shaking
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And the worst part of a good day is knowing it's slipping
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Away, that's one more possibility day
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It's gone.
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
We were waiting for winter this year
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But you came and it never appeared
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Me and you we know too many reasons for people and seasons
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That pass like they weren't even here
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Now living in smiles is better you say
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
We carry the burdens of all of our days
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
So scared that you’ll leave, you’re scared that I'll stay
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It's an impossibility day
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And we only saw half the ballet
Pre-Chorus 3
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I said good night, goodbye
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Seems like a good thing, so you know it's a good lie
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You can run out of choices and still hear a voice in your
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Head when you’re lying in bed
([ch]C[/ch])
And it says that
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The best part of a bad day is knowing it's ok
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The color of everything changes
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The sky rearranges its shade, and your smile doesn’t fade
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Into the phone call and one bad decision we made
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And the worst part of a good day is the one thing you don’t say
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And you don’t know how but you wish there was some way
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
So you pull down the shades, and you shut out the light
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Because somehow we mixed up "goodbye" and "goodnight"
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And the one thing you don't say is everyone knows
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Possibility days are impossible
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It just feels wrong
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
So wrong...
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Now you're gone
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
Long gone...
