[Intro]
[ E ]
My brave, my brave, my brave face
(a capella)
| E | % | A/E | % |
[Verse]
E
I've been living in style
E A/E E
Unaccustomed as I am to the luxury life
A G#m F#m B E
I've been hitting the town and it didn't hit back
[Verse]
E
I've been doing the rounds
E A/E E
Unaccustomed as I am to the time on my hands
A G#m F#m B E
Now I don't have to tell anybody when I'm gonna get back
[Bridge]
C#m C#m(maj7) C#m7 E7
Ever since you went away I've had this sentimental
A Am E
Inclination not to change a single thing
C#m C#m(maj7) C#m7 C#m6 A
As I pull the sheets back on the bed I want to go bury my head
Am
In your pillow
[Pre-Chorus]
E B E E B E
Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breaking down again,
E G#m C#m
The simplest things set me off again
C#m G#m F#m
And take me to that place
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m E
Where I can't find my brave face
A E/G# F#m E
Where I can't find my brave face
A E/G# F#m E
My brave, my brave, my brave face
| A E/G# | F#m | A E/G# |
F#m/C# | E | % | E7sus4 | % |
My brave face
[Verse]
E
I`ve been living a lie
E A/E E
Unaccustomed as I am to the work of a housewife,
A G#m F#m B E
I`ve been breaking up dirty dishes and been throwing them away
[Bridge]
C#m C#m(maj7) C#m7 E7
Ever since you left I have been trying to compose a
A Am E
"Baby, will you please come home" note meant for you
C#m C#m(maj7) C#m7 C#m6 A
As I clear away another untouched TV dinner from the table
Am
I laid for two
[Pre-Chorus]
E B E E B E
Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breaking down again,
E G#m C#m
The simplest things set me off again
C#m G#m F#m
And take me to that place
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m E
Where I can't find my brave face
A E/G# F#m E
Where I can't find my brave face
A E/G# F#m [ A ]
My brave, my brave, my brave face
[Coda]
