No Such Thing Key of E

John Mayer
Chart by: Jorge Luis Aguilera

Intro:
Emaj9 Emaj9(II) E
(NOTES: You're PALM MUTING the low open E string before strumming each
chord. You should count 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 to the beat of the song. For each
chord, quickly strum only on beat 3, 6, and 8. Do not let the chord ring out, stop
the chord from ringing every time you strum down. You do this by SLIGHTLY
LETTING GO of your fretboard fingers - don't completely let go of the strings,
just enough to stop it from ringing. Emaj9(II) is a quick in-between change. You
will play it only on beat 7. Think of the Emaj9(II) chord as the cream filling in
between Emaj9 and E. you will always play the cream filling chord on beat 7.
Then immediately on beat 8, you will change to E, or when you go backwards:
you will go from E - to cream filling chord - to Emaj9 which will be on beat 8 as
well. End on Emaj9 before the first verse beings.)

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me condescendingly

Take a seat, Take your life

Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens

I'd like to think the best of me
F#7b5 F#7 F#9
Is still hiding up my sleeve

Verse 2:
Emaj9 Amaj9
So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
C#m7
Faded white hats, grabbing credits, Maybe transfers

They read all the books but they can't find the answers

Tiny tra- ge- dies
