Intro: D A Em G

[Verse 1]
D                A
Listening to red house
                         Em
Sitting in my white shirt
                                     G
When I thought about the grass stains

Thought about the red dirt.

D                A
It's funny when Spring blooms
                            Em
The funny way the birds sing
                                 G
I always think I'm gonna sing too

But I forget the melody.

[Chorus]
D      A
La, da, da, da.
               Em
La, da, da, da.
                 G
Or something like that.

[Verse 2]
D          A                 Em
High school's been dead now for ten years
                G
Isn't that some shit?

D                A                            Em
And from here on out you'll, you'll keep on losing things
                  G
So get used to it.

D                   A                       Em
She said she wished we lived different lives
               G
Now that's some shit
D                                    A                          Em
And the only thing I'm good for is a melody and some poor advice
              G
So here it is.

[Chorus]
D    A
La, da, da, da.
               Em
La, da, da, da.
         G
Oh I forget.

D      A
La, da, da, da.
               Em
La, da, da, da.
                 G
Or something like that.

[Bridge]
D           A
Listening to red house
                         Em
Sitting in my white shirt
                         G
See every day's a funeral

Or every day's a new birth.

D            A
If you're not everything
                                 Em
You're nothing till you try to be
                   G
Nobody needs saving

Just a little bit of empathy.

[Outro]
D                  A             Em  G
You can't save the ones you love,
D                  A             Em
You can't save the ones you love,
                     G
But who would really want to?

D                  A             Em
You can't save the ones you love,
                     G
But who would really want to?
D                  A             Em   G
You can't save the ones you love.
