The Quiet Parts of Me
Tuning: Standard
Key: A minor
Progression: F G6 C Am

Voicing:
F = X33210
G6 = XX0000
C = X32010
Am = X02210

Except in instrumental breaks where voicing isF = 133210
G6 ‎ =  320000
C = X32010
Am = X02210
And progression is played 1x

Intro:
T - I - MRP - P - R - M progression 2x for each chord of progression but finish Am on 2nd repeat is a soft strum instead to build hesitation

Verse 1:
(Down, down-down, up-down-up, x2 for each chord, final chord of verse is only x1 and then a final down strum instead)
Why (F) do I run away?
(G6) I don’t know what to say…(C) But one thing is for certain, that
(Am) her face won’t go away.

I see her in my dreams,
Still caught between the scenes,
Of what we were, and could have been,
But that’s not now, it’s just back then

Break
(Played D DD UDU, D DDU DDU)

Verse 2:
(Down, down-down, up-down-up, x2 for each chord, second part of verse is only x1 and then a final down strum instead for lyrical emphasis)

She’s warm but we don’t burn
She gives but I still yearn
I try to be the man she needs
Still haunted by my memory

Is it fair, to stay half gone?
To build a life while holding on?
To someone who may be long past me
But she still owns part of my peace

Break

Verse 3:
(Down, down-down, up-down-up, x2 for each chord, final chord of verse is only x1 and then a final down strum instead)

This isn’t fair, to anyone
But least of all to me.
I’m sitting here in pieces while
I’m drowning in my memory.

I wish I could let go,
But that’s not how this goes,
You don’t simply forget a soul
That carved you to your bones.

Break

Verse 4:
(Down, down-down, up-down-up, x2 for each chord, second part of verse is only x1 and then a final down strum instead for lyrical emphasis)

I don’t know what I’m hoping for,
Just needed to see your face once more,
To see if there’s a piece of me
Still hiding in your memory

Maybe, it’s not meant to be,
Maybe I’m not meant to leave,
But something deep inside of me,
Still haunts the quiet parts of me.

Break

Basically intro x1

Then a slower version of intro
But instead of repeating fingerpicking for each chord 2x, do once, and then a nice pluck of all non-thumb fingers and do F- G6 - Cmaj7 with Cmaj7 just being a soft strum middle 4 strings only and then maybe whisper “Why do I run away”
