Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
I feel chord inversions really make or break this song. So here's how I play it.
Tempo around 47 bpm
[Intro]
RH - D drones quarter notes throughout
LH - Bm5 - G5 - D5 - A5 (+ add4 with C# in RH)
[Verse]
All bass notes (LH) are in root position, but some chords (RH) are inverted.
D (root)
F#m (2nd inversion: C# - F# - A)
G (2nd inversion: B - D - G) +optional add9 in 3rd measure
D (root)
A (1st inversion: C# - E - A)
[Chorus]
Similar to the intro, but full chords.
Bm (root)
G (2nd inversion: B - D - G)
D (root)
A (1st inversion: C# - E - A)
Say something,
I'm giving up
on you
I'll be the on
e, if you want
me to
Anywhere I wou
ld've followed
you
Say something,
I'm giving up
on you
And I am feeli
ng so small
It was over my
head
I know nothing
at all
And I will stu
mble and fall
I'm still lear
ning to love
Just starting
to crawl
Say something,
I'm giving up
on you
I'm sorry that
I couldn't ge
t to you
Anywhere I wou
ld've followed
you
Say something,
I'm giving up
on you
And I will swa
llow my pride
You're the one
that I love
And I'm saying
goodbye
Say something,
I'm giving up
on you
And I'm sorry
that I couldn'
t get to you
And anywhere I
would've foll
owed you (Oh-o
h-oh-oh)
Say something,
I'm giving up
on you
Say something,
I'm giving up
on you
Say something.
