    Lmao, coming back to this video, cringing about my old comment... these tones will never get old. For every now and then when you feel like shit.
    3:45 something there happened inside of his head, whatever it was, the emotion in his face and voice still gives me shivers

    I watched John play at Tape Deck Fest in Melbourne on Sunday and omfg. I listen to trophy eyes but hadn't heard his stuff. And while he was playing I was standing there doing everything in my power not to cry. I failed. The emotion and effort he puts into his music is moving and the lyrics seem to get me every time.

    [Verse 1]
    I've held my breath
    For twenty fucking years
    And hesitation brought me here
    It makes it harder to believe
    That I'll see you again
    I'm so scared of growing up
    I still act like I'm fifteen years old
    Too early to give up
    But too old to come home
    I found myself at a distance
    Empty highways and freezing train carriages
    I never thought I'd see myself like this
    Starving to death in this fucking city apartment
    Well, I'm twenty-one
    And so alone
    [Chorus]
    Well, this distance it gave me an option
    In the form of a shiny red apple
    In it's dark red skin
    I saw my reflection
    But I couldn't take it
    I sunk my teeth in
    [Verse 2]
    I watch your tail lights fade over this stale town
    Your arm's still waving from your windows
    I can barely make it out
    Barely make it out
    It'll be a cold and quiet month
    To spend alone in my head
    But when you finally return
    We'll be stronger for this
    Stronger for this
    [Chorus]
    I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I
    The one that we took
    At our friends engagement
    Sometimes I catch myself swimming in your smile
    And the crease over your eyes
    If I try
    I remember what they look like
    [Guitar interlude]
    [Chorus]
    I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I
    Folded and creased like a bill
    In the paper compartment of my wallet
    A worthy home
    For something that comes and goes
    Oh, I know now why I've never felt at home
    I'm happy and healthy in my head
    But I've never felt so alone
    I spend my days counting the lines along the road
    They disappear right under me
    Like all the places that I've been
    Just thinking of you

    For twenty fucking years.

      something close to this:
      Felt my breathe for 20 fucking years it hasn’t taken on me here
      makes it harder to believe that ill see you again
      Im so scared of growing up, I still act like im 15 years old
      Too early to give up, But too old to put on hold
      Well I found myself at a distance, busy highway and freezing train carriages
      I never thought id see myself like this starving to death in this fucking city apartment
      Well im 21 so alone well this distance it gave me an option in the form of a shiny red apple,
      his dark red skin I saw my reflection but I couldn’t take it I sunk my teeth in
      I watch your taillights fade over this state of town your arms waving from your window
      I can barely make it out, barely make it out
      In my cold and quiet mind spend alone in my head
      But when you finally return we’ll be stronger for this, Stronger for this
      I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I the one that we took at a friends engagement
      sometimes I catch myself swimming in your smile and the crease over your eye,
      if I tried id remember what they looked like
      I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I, folded and creased like a bill in the paper compartment in my wallet, a worthy hole for something that comes and goes
      oh I know now why I never felt at home, im happy and healthy in my head but ive never felt so alone Spent my days counting lines along the road they disappear right underneath recall the places that I’ve been just thinking of you

    • @fastestcowalive3804

  • @GoatedExile
    @GoatedExile Год назад +3

    I prefer this over the album version. It's slightly quicker and the raw emotion is just... man, it's something. Only a few singers really capture emotion like John. Tades from Hot Mulligan comes to mind. And the singer from Microwave (forget his name, sorry) but yeah, what an awesome damn song.

    Anyone got tabs for this? Or at least knows/ can hear what tuning it's in?

    • @LuisBazanCOI
      @LuisBazanCOI 8 лет назад +1

      Standard with Capo on 2nd fret.

    • @RedReera
      @RedReera 8 лет назад +10

      I know how to play it but cba to tab it out so ill give you a simplified version of it so you can figure out strumming patterns etc, capo on 2nd fret
      Main riff/verse
      -320--
      -750--
      -540--
      all these are picked individually in a pattern you can pick up from the video and then for the verse it is just strummed
      the song doesnt have a chorus but I see this as the chorus part 1 "well this distance it gave me an option..."
      chords
      G
      idk the name but its like a G but on the next string down so its like -32033
      verse
      "chorus" part 2 "Ive got a tiny coloured print of you and I the one that we took at our friends engagement.."
      same as before,
      G
      -32003
      main riff
      Idek if its the last verse or what "I've got a tiny coloured print of you and I folded and creased like a bill..."
      -32033
      G 320033
      200233
      outro idk how to explain this so I just wrote the picking. Hammer on 2nd fret on the D string, pick the 2nd fret once more after its hammered on and then pick an open G
      --0h2---
      --2---
      ---0--
      end with -32033
      Hope it helped buddy
