Chord Hammers And Strings by Jacks Mannequin

with respect to the first version , i only tweaked some parts of the song . it might sound the same but for me it doesn’t . xd i listened to the song over and over , had a piano and guitar at hand in case i doubt over a note or starts to consider myself as tone deaf . so here ya go . i think this is more accurate . G C Em C G - C - Em these hammers and strings been following me around G C Em C G C Em from a box filled garage to the dark punk rock clubs of 1000 american towns G C and my friend calls me up , Em D G C he says , "how have you been?" i say , "dear i’ve been well , Em D G C yeah the money’s coming but i miss you like hell . Em D G C Em D i still hear you in this old piano , oh yeah . " verse 2 chords : G Cadd9 Em D she says , "andy , i know that we don’t talk as much G Cadd9 Em D but i still hear your ghost in these old punk rock clubs G Cadd9 Em D come on , write me a song , give me something to trust G Cadd9 D C just promise you won’t let it be , just the keys that you touch . " chorus : G D give me something to believe in , a breath from the breathing Em C so write it down , i don’t think that i’ll close my eyes G D ’cause lately i’m not dreaming , so what’s the point in sleeping? Em C it’s just that at night , i’ve got nowhere to hide G - C - Em G - C - Em so i write you a lullaby a lullaby these hammers and strings been following me around behind passenger vans through the snow , dirt , and sands of 1000 american towns . and my friend calls me up with her heart heavy still she says , "andy , the doctors prescribed me the pills . but i know i’m not crazy . i just lost my will . so why Am i , why Am i taking them still?" chorus : i need something to believe in , a breath from the breathing so write it down , i don’t think that i’ll close my eyes ’cause lately i’m not dreaming , so what’s the point in sleeping? it’s just that at night , i’ve got nowhere to hide post - chorus : Em D C to the sleepless , this is my reply : G D C D G D C D i will write you a lullaby , a lullaby . final chorus : G D give me something to believe iiiiiiiiiiiiin , Em D C so write it down , i don’t think that i’ll close my eyes G D ’cause lately i’m not dreaming , so what’s the point in sleeping?
