------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shoot down the Stars - Gym Class Heroes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: sizzlexc Email: sdonovanxc@Hotmail.com I've been looking all over for tabs and chords for this song. In my opinion this is the band's best song. In my attempt and search, I decided that I could take a part in putting it together, so here is my attempt: intro: e|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-| B|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-| G|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-| D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| A|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-| E|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-| Verse: Em,C,G,D Bridge: (Bm7, Em9)x2 end on A Chorus: Em7, Bm7 /F#, Am7 Em: 022000 C: 032010 G: 320003 D: 000232 Bm7: x24232 Em9:x22033 A: x02220 Em7: x79787 Bm7/F#: x97777 Am7: x75555 Em C '81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way G D a sad day for inspiring artists Em C Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle G D Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist Pushing daises up Em C And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap G D Shit on since the first show Em C But we turned feces to fertilizer G D So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow Em C Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks G D Too young to drive But live hip hop Em C G D And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name Em C G Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends D loved Em C And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish G D We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like Bm7 So take a step back And a breath in Em9 Let it out now Put your chin up Bm7 You can do it tiger You a man now Em9 A And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now Em7 We bring ourselves down Bm7 /F# And build ourselves up in disappointment Am7 How fragile we are Am7 So fragile we are, we just don't show it Em7 We'll shake up this town Bm7 / F# And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment Am7 So sexy we are Am7 So sexy we are, we just don't know it Em7 Bm7 /F# Am7 Em C This is what you wanted right? G D How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy? Em C How many punishments endured for fucking up in school? G D How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead? My point exactly Em C But you knew you had a spark, did you? G D Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you Em C Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense G D Stealing verses with that Cassius Clay confidence Em C Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you G D You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you Just do your thing man Bm7 So take a step back And a breath in Em9 Let it out now Put your chin up Bm7 You can do it tiger You a man now Em9 A And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now Bm7 So take a step back And a breath in Em9 Let it out now Put your chin up Bm7 You can do it tiger You a man now Em9 A And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now Em7 We bring ourselves down Bm7 /F# And build ourselves up in disappointment Am7 How fragile we are Am7 So fragile we are, we just don't show it Em7 We'll shake up this town Bm7 / F# And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment Am7 So sexy we are Am7 So sexy we are, we just don't know it *****Travis repeats chorus again* Em7 We break ourselves down Bm7 /F# And build ourselves up in disappointment Am7 How fragile we are Am7 So fragile we are, we just don't show it Em7 We shake up this town Bm7 / F# And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment Am7 So sexy we are Am7 So sexy we are, we just don't know it Em7 Bm7 /F# Am7 Bm7 So take a step back And a breath in Em9 Let it out now Put your chin up Bm7 You can do it tiger You a man now Em9 A And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now -Chorus- -Fade out with chorus- | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
