Cocoon (acoustic)

	  		

 
 

 



Intro:  C/G , C2/G ,  C/G    (basically just pull off, hammer on) 


verse 1 (he palm mutes the top two strings a bit): 


       Em 
I fell straight 
          G 
Into your arms 
       C/G 
Like a drunk 
           G 
Who's been on it 
    Em 
All morning. 
        G 
And the sun's up 
       C/G               G 
And my head's fucked. 
    Em 
And immediately  
  G 
I grabbed you 
       C/G 
You go all red 
         G 
Like the first time 
                   Em         G 
I love it when you do that 
                        C/G         G 
God, I love it when you do that. 


Pre-Chorus (palm muted chords):  


I remember when we 
Em         C/G         G       D/A 
   Swapped names and I thought maybe 
Em       C/G      G          D/A 
   You'd stay and try to out-drink me 
Em      C/G    G     D/A 
   Your friends, all hated it! 

Em      C/G    G     D/A (mute D after one strum)  





               C/G    G 
Fuck it if they talk 
               Em                D/A 
Fuck it if they try and get to us 
                   C/G      G 
Cause I'd rather go blind 
             Em     D/A 
Than let you down. 



verse 2 (palm muting of top two strings): 



Em 
I cocoon 
            G 
'Round your shoulders 
            C/G 
When you're half cut 
           G 
And you're frozen 
                           Em         G 
And you've got that visible breathing 
                    C/G        G 
You're depending on me again. 



Pre-Chorus (palm muted chords):  



I remember when we 
Em         C/G         G       D/A 
   Swapped names and I thought maybe 
Em       C/G      G          D/A 
   You'd stay and try to out-drink me 
Em      C/G    G     D/A 
   Your friends, all hated it! 

Em      C/G    G     D/A (mute D after one strum)  





               C/G    G 
Fuck it if they talk 
               Em                D/A 
Fuck it if they try and get to us 
                   C/G      G 
Cause I'd rather go blind 
             Em     D/A 
Than let you down. 


               C/G    G 
Fuck it if they talk 
                Em                D/A 
Fuck it if they try and get to us 
                    C/G    G 
Cause I'd rather go blind 
             Em     D/A 
Than let you down. 




Bridge: 

                 C/G 
And if you wanna shot down and pose as positive 
Em 
  Hide smoking from relatives and 
C/G 
  Rest on me, 
                    Em  Em7  Em  (hammer on to Em7 and pull off again to Em) 
Honey, that's alright! 
           C/G 
And if you wanna act more drunk than usual 
   Em 
To help you get away with more than 
C/G 
  Rest on me, 
Em 
Honey, that's alright! 
D 
Honey, that's alright! 

C/G -> C2/G , Em -> Em7 , C/G -> C2/G , Em       (watch the video at 2:44 to see how he does this, 
                                               it's basically just pull off and hammer ons) 

               C/G    G 
Fuck it if they talk 
                Em                D/A 
Fuck it if they try and get to us 
                    C/G    G 
Cause I'd rather go blind 
             Em     D/A 
Than let you down. 

            
I remember when we 
C/G                 G
