Band: Something Corporate
Song: Konstantine
Tuning: Standard


This is one of my favorite songs ever. I decided that I would love to play this on the Acoustic guitar, so I decided to figure out the roots of the Piano appregios and chords and build something around that. I hope you like this one. 

I only play this for the intro-

SONG:

A#                      D
I can't imagine all the people that you know 
        G
And the places that you go 
          D#
When the lights are turned down low 
A#                            D
And I don't understand all the things you've seen 
        G
But i'm slipping inbetween 
D#              A#    D
You and your big......dreams 
         G
It's always you 
       D#
In my big dreams 

A#             D
And you tell me that it's over 
G                  D#
Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover 
A#                   D
And your restless, and i'm naked 
G
You've gotta get out 
         D#
You can't stand to see me shaking 
A#       D
No
   G
Could you let me go? 
D#
I didn't think so 


A#                               D
And you don't wanna be here in the future 
                G                               D#
So you say the present's just a pleasent interruption to the past 
A#                               D
And you don't wanna look much closer 
         G 
Cuz your afraid to find out all this hope
        D#                           A#
You had sent into the sky by now had crashed 
       D
And it did 
          G          D#
Because of me 


D      D#     F         A#
And then you bring me home
D         D#        F        A# 
Afraid to find out that you're alone 
D       D#        F             A#
And i'm sleeping in your living room 
A# (Pause)
We don't have much room to live 


A#                        D
I had these dreams that i learned to play guitar 
G           
Maybe cross the country 
D# (Pause)
Become a rock star 
A#                           D
And there was hope in me that i could take you there 
     G
But dammit you're so young 
     D#
Well i don't think i care 
A#
And if i hurt you 
D
Then i'm sorry 
G                      D#
Please don't think that this was easy 

D      D#     F         A#
And then you bring me home
D         D#        F        A# 
We both know what it's like to be alone.
D       D#        F             A#
And i'm sleeping in your living room 
A# (Pause)
We don't have much room to live 

A#                 D
And konstantine is walking down the stairs 
G
Doesn't she look good 
D#
Standing in her underwear 
A#
And i was thinking 
D
What i was thinking 
G                         D#
We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere 

A#                  D
My Konstantine came walking down the stairs 
    G                                D#
And all that i could do is touch her long blonde hair 
A#
And i've been thinking 
D                               G
It hurts me thinking that these nights
                       D#
When we were drinking no they never got us anywhere 
No 

INTERLUDE: A#-D-G-D# x2

A#                                           
This is because i can spell konfusion with a k
D
And i like it 
        G                           D#
It's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it 
A#                                D
It's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car 
                G                       D#
When the first star you see may not be a star
                 A#
I'm not your star 
D                    G
Isn't that what you said 
                      D#
What you thought this song meant 


A#
And if this is what it takes 
        D
Just to lie in my mistakes 
    G
And live with what i did to you 
    D#
And all the hell I put you through 
A#
I always catch the clock 
D
It's 11:11 
                G
And now you want to talk 
                      D#
It's not hard to dream 
D#
You'll always be my konstantine 

PLAY: A#-D-G-D# Through this:

Konstantine, they'll never hurt you like i do 
No they'll never hurt you like i do 
No, no, no no no no no no

D                               G                             A#

And you'll kiss me in your living room

You'll miss me in your living room 
D                 D#                        F          A#
Cuz these nights i think maybe that i'll miss you in my living room 
D
We don't have much room 
D#

F
Because we all need a little more room 
A# 
To live
