• Song:

    Less Cute Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Say Anything

So the other chords that are up for this song are terribly off.
Here's my attempt at transcribing from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=LmmHWBwsOpU&NR=1

This at least is in the correct key, and is more for playing and singing along with the
song. I didn't bother to try to figure out every single chord and chord change in this.
What makes it difficult is getting the proper strumming pattern. The chord changes are 
rather quick, and I find that adding some palm muting in between chord transitions on the
verses sounds really nice.
Thanks!

Capo 4

(Through this next chorus a second voice sings "and every time I see your face I die
inside" extended through each line, listen to the song to hear how this goes)
