• Song:

    The Way I Was

  • Artist:

    Maroon 5

I absolutely adore this song, and Maroon 5. I wish this song was more well-known! 
Anyway, here is my stab at some super basic chords.

Capo on the second fret to match original key

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

E                F#m7
Making love to a picture frame
          D
One more time tonight
E                   F#m7
You can tell by the lines in her smile
           D
Something is not right
              E   F#m7
Where are you hiding
          D
She's on the outside
                  E  F#m7
I'm on the inside crying
D
Just another crazy boy
(D)
Hungry for your

Amaj7
Hot love
(Amaj7)                        D
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
(D)                             Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
                             D
Never need to go back to the way I was
(D)
The way I was

E                     F#m7
I tried and tried and tried and tried
                    D
But I have no concept of consequence
E                   F#m7
And I'm a master of self defence
D
Days get longer, life gets shorter
E           F#m7
She rips me like no other
D
So oh dripping from head to to toe
              E   F#m7
Where are you hiding
             D
She's on the outside
                  E F#m7
I'm on the inside crying 

Amaj7
Hot love
(Amaj7)                        D
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
(D)                             Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
                             D
Never need to go back to the way I was
(D)
The way I was

Amaj7
Hot love
(Amaj7)                        D
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
(D)                             Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
                             D
Never need to go back to the way I was
(D)
The way I was

(D)
I can't make the same mistake
E
If you lose my love, it was yours to take
D
Break down your door, take a little more
E
When I need you around
D
And I'm so terrified of leaving
                E
It's a new low, try and pick me up again but
        D
Let go, see how far I get without you
E
Desperately need more of your

Amaj7

Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
(D)                             Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
                             D
Never need to go back to the way I was
(D)
The way I was

Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove

Never need to go back to the way I was
