Green Day
Words I Might Have Ate
Kerplunk! (1992)

Tune down 1/2 step

A5  G5  x 4  doux  !  w/ come out & play

       A5            G5                  A5
Now it seems I can't keep my mind off of you
   A5                   G5                     E5
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
Like sitting on blacktop of the school grounds
The love I bitched about I finally found

      D5D5D5D5 A5A5A5A5 A5       G5       F♯5
  But now it's gone        and I take the blame
             D5            E5              A5   <  !
  So there's nothing I can do but take the pain      mmwhy?

A5  G5(c♯)  x 2  !

Now I dwell on what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me I am blind without a cause
And now I realized what I have lost

  It was something real that I could have had
  Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad - mmwhy?

A5  G5(c♯)  x 4

A5!                G5                 E5
Tell me words, the words I might have said
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late?
Just tell me the words I might have ate

    G5                 E5
The words I might have ate  x 2  ...

A5  G5(c♯)  x 4  !

  Refrain 1

A5  G5(c♯)  x 12  w/ why
