Passenger The Wrong Direction
Capo 5th fret
---Transcribed by Scott Gittins---
TRUE acoustic version as heard on Coffeehouse satellite radio and seen on youtube
CARFEULLY transcribed by yours truly
Quick note: Intro and beginning verses are assumed to be picking unless the ^ thumb
arrow designates a upflick strum with the thumb designated by TmbSt and any of the xxxx
is a
chuck / slap on some of the strings. m is mute anywhere in the tab.
This is my first real tab by hand and reverse engineering from a video. Takes forever,
if you see errors please not and I will fix asap. Thanks! Enjoy

The rest is easy cake. I do not think it is necessary to do the rest at this time. If
you want more please comment or email me. If you master these first two iterations of
the chord progression, the third iteration is a simple strum plucking the bass note of
each chord as you go through.
Verse Lyrics with chord shapes:
When I was a Fkid, the things I did, were hidden Cunder the grid
young and Gnaive, i never believed love couldAm be so well-hid
with reFgret I'm willing to bet they say the Colder you get
gets hGarder to forgive and harder Amto forget
it gFets under your shirt like a dCagger at work
the Gfirst cut is the deepest but the Amrest still flippin hurt
you Fbuild your heart of plastic
you're Ccynical and sarcastic
and Gend up in a corner on your own
Chorus:
cause I Flove to feel loved but i can't Cstand the rejection
i Ghide behind my jokes as a Amform of protection
i tFhought i was close but under Cfurther inspection
it Gseems i've been running in the Amwrong direction
Intro-Riff
so what's the point of getting your hopes up
when all you ever get is chocked up
when your coked up and remember the reason why you broke up
you call her in the morning when you're coming down and falling
like an old man in the side of the road
cause when your apart you don't a-mingle
when you're together you want to be single
ever the chase, the taste, the kiss, the bliss that made your heart tingle
how much greener the grass is, with your rose tinted glasses
but the butterflies flutter by and leave us on our asses
Chorus:
cause I Flove to feel loved but i can't Cstand the rejection
i Ghide behind my jokes as a Amform of protection
i tFhought i was close but under Cfurther inspection
it Gseems i've been running in the Amwrong direction
Bridge:
there'sF fish in the sea for me to Cmake a selection
I'd jump Gin if it wasn't for my Amear infection
cause Fall i want to do is try to Cmake a connection
it Gseems i've been running in the Amwrong direction
cause I Flove to feel loved but i can't Cstand the rejection
i Ghide behind my jokes as a Amform of protection
i tFhought i was close but under Cfurther inspection
it Gseems i've been running in the Amwrong direction
cause I Flove to feel loved but i can't Cstand the rejection
i Ghide behind my jokes as a Amform of protection
i tFhought i was close but under Cfurther inspection
it Gseems i've been running in the Amwrong direction
