Any Other Way by Tenth Avenue North (LONG HAND)


INTRO:  C   Cmaj7   Am   F

VERSE:
C                 Cmaj7               Am
Don't say goodbye, don't say hello
             F
We're just standing on the surface
C                 Cmaj7              Am
Don't say alright, Don't say I know
    F
I promise it's not worth it

PRE-CHORUS:
Am          G
I want to know who you are
C               F
Even if you're falling apart
Am            G
Reach in and touch your scars
C                       F
All the shame you've kept in your heart

CHORUS:
       F      C          G      Am
It's not enough, it's not enough
          F          C       G
Just to say that we're okay
    F          C      G         Am
I need your hurt, I need your pain
           F       G        C
It's not love any other way

VERSE:
C                 Cmaj7            Am
Let's not pretend, stop your parade
F
Trying to convince me
C               Cmaj7                     Am
That you're alright and everything's okay
F
Do you even know me?

PRE-CHORUS:
Am          G
I already know who you are
C                        F
And all the things that kept us apart
Am            G
Reach in and touch my scars
C                 F
Know the price I paid for your heart

CHORUS:
       F      C          G      Am
It's not enough, it's not enough
          F          C       G
Just to say that we're okay
    F          C      G         Am
I need your hurt, I need your pain
           F       G        C
It's not love any other way

BRIDGE:
   F                     G
A broken and contrite heart
               Am
I will not despise
               G
Come as you are
                    F
I won't close my eyes
                    G
I won't close my eyes
                    Am
I won't close my eyes
                    G
I won't close my eyes


       F      C          G      Am
It's not enough, it's not enough
          F          C       G
Just to say that you're okay
    F          C      G         Am
I need your hurt, I need your pain
           F       G        C
It's not love any other way

       F      C          G      Am
It's not enough, it's not enough
          F          C       G
Just to say that you're okay
    F          C      G         Am
You need my hurt, you needed my pain
           F       G        C
It's not love any other way

           F      G      Am
It's not love any other way
           F      G      C
It's not love any other way

Just in case you're not certain what a "Cmaj7" is, it is a C chord with a B note (the
seventh note in the C major scale)thrown in. Here's one simple way to play it on piano and guitar:

GUITAR: If you play a regular C chord and just take your finger off the B string, then
you have a Cmaj7 chord:

normal C chord:

e- 0 (play open)
B- 1
G- 0
D- 2
A- 3
E- x (mute)

Cmaj7 chord:

E- 0
B- 0  <---- open B string, giving the C chord its 7th
G- 0
D- 2
A- 3
E- x


PIANO: Very simple here. To play a Cmaj7, all you have to do is stretch your fingers and
add the B on top of the root triad (C-E-G chord --> C-E-G-B for Cmaj7)


Now, when I play this song on piano, I start off the verse with a 2nd inversion C chord,
and from there the Cmaj7 is super easy. All you gotta do is play what looks like an
inversion of an Em chord but still play a C in the bass; so basically, you just switch 
out the C in your 2nd inv. C major chord with the B right next to it. (one-finger movement)
