Cage The Elephant’s mellow, nostalgic track is a fan favorite with its simple chord progression and dreamy atmosphere. It’s one of the easiest alt-rock songs to learn.

Tip: Keep the strumming relaxed and slightly lazy. This song isn’t about precision – it’s about feel. Let the chords drift into each other for a hazy, daydream quality.

Did you stand there all a-lone?

Oh I cannot explain what’s going down

I can see you standing next to me
D Em
In and out some-where else right now

You can drive all night

Looking for the answers in the pouring rain

You wanna find a peace of mind
D Em
Looking for the answer
Verse 2

Funny how it turns out that everything was so wrong

Now the feeling’s even more strong

If you ever see my face out on the streets
