The Fray - Over My Head Cable Car Chords & Tabs

Over My Head (Cable Car) - The Fray - "How to Save a Life"

Capo on first fret.

Note – I took erk584’s tabbing and fixed a few mistakes.


Verse 1:

   C
I never knew
    Em              D             C
I never knew that everything was falling through
        Em        D               C
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
    Em       D               Am   G        D
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
                     C
But that's how it's got to be
       Em              D               C
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
      Em             D              C
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
      Em        G           Am      Em        D
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears


Chorus:

C    G    Em        D
Everyone knows I'm in
C        G     Em      D
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em     G
With eight seconds left in overtime
      Am       G          Em   D    C
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

Em  G  C
Em  D


Verse 2: 

         C
Let's rearrange
   Em              D                C
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
    Em           G              C
To say that we agree and then never change
    Em   D            Am        G    D
Soften a bit until we all just get along
            C
But that's disregard
     Em           D              C
You find another friend and you discard
        Em          D          C
As you lose the argument in a cable car
     Em   G            Am    Em     D
Hanging above as the canyon comes between


Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_fray/over_my_head_cable_car_crd_ver_3.html ]
C    G    Em        D
Everyone knows I'm in
C        G     Em      D
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em     G
With eight seconds left in overtime
      Am       G          Em   D    C
She's on your mind, she's on your mind


C    G    Em        D
Everyone knows I'm in
C        G     Em      D
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em     G
With eight seconds left in overtime
      Am       G          Em   D    C
She's on your mind, she's on your mind



Bridge:
       C          Em       G           C
And suddenly I become a part of your past
       Em          D              C
I'm becoming the part that don't last
      Em    D            Am
I'm losing you and its effortless


Verse 3:

C                        Em            G
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground 
         C
In the throw around
         Em              D         C
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
        Em         G            Am
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves


Bridge 2:

G         G/F#
Everyone knows I'm in
G             G/F#
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em   D
With eight seconds left in overtime
      Am       G          Em  D    C      Em
She's on your mind, she's on your mind...
D          C    Em         D       C
Everyone knows...   she's on your mind...
Em                  D       C
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
Em              D
My head   I'm over my...


Chorus:

C    G    Em        D
Everyone knows I'm in
C        G     Em      D
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em     G
With eight seconds left in overtime
      Am       G          Em   D    C
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

Em   D    C   4X

End on C.
