Anyone familiar with Julia Nunes and her work will know that one of her most
used instruments is the Ukulele. This particular album features both Ukulele and
Acoustic Guitar pieces. Here I will clear up how to mimic the Ukulele sound on
an acoustic or classical Guitar, for anyone without a Ukulele instrument.
The best way to immitate the sound of a Ukulele on an acoustic or classical Guitar
is to place a Capo on the 5th fret. You now have a Ukulele! This works because,
much like the Guitar standard tuning is EADGBe, the Ukulele standard tuning is
GCEA, as there are only four strings. Now by playing just the highest four strings
(the original xxDGBe strings on the Guitar) this is the easiest and closest way to
mimic the sound of a standard tuned Ukulele.
This not only means that you have an impromptu Ukulele, but you can now finger
the chords identically as you would if you were actually playing a Ukulele. In this
online guide, I will show the Ukulele fingerings for each chord used, taking into
consideration the Capo on the 5th fret. If you have a Ukulele, feel free to follow
along with the same fingerings, only ignore the Guitar Capo. With that said, enjoy
this little online guide.

Well, I'm lying here on the floor just like the man on the yellow cone

VERSE 2:

Well, it's later than I thought - and I thought it was pretty late
C7 F
I guess everyone's asleep; wonder why I'm still awake?
C Cmaj7
I could fall asleep right here with my hands under my head
C7 F
There's a body in the stairwell, call the cops; I think she's dead

VERSE 1:
C Em9
It'd be easy to sit here and wallow in hell
B7 Em
Or I could suck it up and get over myself
C Em9
You see all hearts are broken; it's no big deal
B7 Em
I've been hurt, but I'm sure you all know how that feels
VERSE 2:
C Em9 B7 Em
We all go through, so why we do it again?

Is it even worth the awkward anger of trying to be friends?

I collapse to the floor
CHORUS 1:

It doesn't get easier

That should be me
Em Em9 C Em
It doesn't get easier
C Em9
I'm dying to leave
VERSE 3:
C Em9
I've been feeling surprisingly lonely these days
B7 Em
I guess substitutes have an aftertaste
C Em9 B7 Em
And I hate you for making me feel I could easily be replaced
VERSE 4:
C Em9
They say that the coffin can't confine the soul
B7 Em
I'm burying secrets you should have told
C Em9
So I'll say, "Fuck your heaven, this is only a goal"
B7 Em
You want to achieve, so you can be whole
BRIDGE:
C Em9 B7 Em
We've yelled, we've lied, and blatantly tried
C Em9 B7 Em
To hurt the other one, that's not fair - but truthfully, I don't care

I'm fighting day dreams
VERSE 5:
C Em9
So I guess it's over, is it time to move on?
B7 Em
Winter was always my least favorite season
C Em9
Should I give up? Is it too late to be saved?
B7 Em
Am I forever frozen in this lonely grave?
OUTRO:
C Em9
So if I agree, I'm not trying to be mean
B7 Em
It's just cold, hard facts
C Em9
Spare me your sugar coats
B7 Em
I could have kept you warmer than that...

VERSE 1:
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
My ear can't hold a pencil, and my mind can't keep a thought
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
And my arms aren't near strong enough to hold the shit I got
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
But stop feeling sorry for me, that's great - you got your sanity

A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
And I'll have a drink or two
VERSE 2:
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
I know this might be rough on you - don't worry, I've been in your shoes
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
We've only got a friend to lose - this sucks, I think you know it too
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
The thrill of the chase caught up with me, they paid me back karmically

Either I can't stand them or they don't want me; what do you think it means?

A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
I'm going out

E7sus4 E5 A E D D9 Em7
They say that pain is the cost of... love
A E D D9 Em7
Of love (No-one said this would be easy)
VERSE 3:
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
I knew it had to happen soon, just sucks it had to be with you
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
The songs that I once sang for you, I still sing them though the meaning's new
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
Roles reversed and then press play, can't think of any thing to say
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
But how many times can one heart break?
CHORUS 3:
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
I'm going out
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
I'm going out
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
To get my mind off you
A Bm11 E7sus4 E5
And I'll have a drink or two
OUTRO:
A* Asus4 E7sus4 E5
I used these chords once before, an unfinished love song
A* Asus4 E7sus4 E5
'Cause I adored a boy
A*
But not any more...

If you have any questions regarding anything in this guide, feel free to message
me over here on Ultimate Guitar. I'll try and respond as quickly as possible, and
I'm more than happy to help out if I can. Any corrections may also be messaged to
me, but I have done my best to double-check (and triple-check) everything in here.
But, there's often that pesky little mistake that seems to stick out like a sore
thumb to everyone else, although I never noticed inputting the data wrongly.
Lastly, the content here is as correct as I can get it. I've tabbed this out in
the manner which Julia performs it; if you prefer to perform it different then
that is absolutely fine. However, 100% accuracy cannot ever be ensured, but a good
90% of the content in here certainly is.
Thanks for reading guys, I hope this proves useful guys!
