Strokes - Hard To Explain Chords & Tabs

Tabbed by ; James Frampton

Intro: The intro is tabbed very well by someone else on this page.

Verse:
 G     Em     Am
Was an honest man
D                     D
Asked me for the phone
 D                 D
Tried to take control
      C
Oh I don't see it that way
   Am
I don't see it that way

We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Pre-CHORUS:
 G         Em
Raised in Carolina
 Bm          D
I'm not like that
G           Em
Tryin' to remind her
Bm          D
When we go back

CHORUS:
  G            
I missed the last bus
   G
I'll take the next train
  Bm
I try, but you see
  Am
It's hard to explain
  G
I said the right things
  G 
But act the wrong way
  Bm
I like it right here 
   Am
But I cannot stay
   G
I watched the TV
   G 
Forget what I'm told
   Bm
Well I am too young 
   Am
And they are too old
   G
The joke is on you
   G
This place is a zoo
   Bm
You're right, it's true

Break. (like the intro kinda)

Verse:

He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everythings just great
Oh I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Pre-CHORUS:
Raised in Carolina (she says)
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
CHORUS:
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here 
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I'm told
I am too young 
And they are too old
I'll make it you see 
I'm ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain


I'm pretty sure about these chords, these guys are sometimes hard to figure out because
of all the layering they do. 
Good Song though and good luck
