Hawthorne Heights
Ohio is for lovers
standard tunning


(The Dm is played without any fingers on the high e string)

!F (lifting up 3rd finger as 8th notes)

!C- on verses (lift up 1st finger then put it down while lifting up 2d & 3rd)
this works as a transition as you run into Em

* is a quick pick pattern while playing the chord beside * 
strings A G B G  are picked(and then strum D G B E)


Dm        
Hey there,
!C           Em         F                      *F
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Dm                !C
Where you are and how you feel.
Em                                F
With these lights off as these wheels
              *F
keep rolling on and on. (and on and on and on...)
Dm                   !C
Slow things down or speed them up.
Em            F            *F
Not enough or way too much. (and on and on and on...)
Dm           C   Em  F 
How are you when I'm gone?

!F 


[Chorus:]
Dm           !C            Em      !F
And I can't make it on my own.

(And I can't make it on my own.)
Dm         !C           Em         !F
Because my heart is in Ohio.
Dm          !C                 Em         !F
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.

(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
Dm        !C             Em         *F
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die.
Am          F    C
Because you kill me.
Em                   Am
You know you do, you kill me well.
Em                  Am
You like it too, and I can tell.
Em             Am   *Am         F
You never stop until my final breath is gone.

(on this next verse have very fast down strokes on d g and b strings while playing the chords given)

F              C
Spare me just three last words.
F               C
"I love you" is all she heard.
F          (goes into regular strumming)
I'll wait for you, 
    C       F      Am
but I can't wait forever.

[x2]


[Chorus:]

Em                   Am
You know you do, you kill me well.
Em                   Am
You like it too, and I can tell.
Em              Am   *Am        F
You never stop until my final breath is gone.



(YOU...KILL...ME...WELL)

(softly)
C                              Em
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
         Am
My final breath is gone 
                        F   *F     !F
So I can fall asleep tonight



[Chorus:]
{repeating last part of chorus twice}


ALright... this is the way I like to play it, make it unique. peace.
