Zach Bryan - Funny Man Chords

[Intro]
 
C   F   Am   G
 
 
[Verse 1]
              C
You know that time goes
              F
Right out the window
        Am
And our hearts
                      G
They beat on borrowed time
                       C
Pack the car while the creek’s runnin’
                     F
Cast-a-line with the dawn comin’
                 Am
You know I wanna believe in somethin’
               G
Somethin’ like you
                C
Reckon God is a funny man
                            F
For puttin’ beauty in these ugly hands
                  Am
And I don’t quite understand
               G
The joke quite yet
 
 
[Chorus]
           C
And it was cold but I was warmer than I’d ever been
         F
I’ll get old but I wish I was younger then
         Am                            G
I reckon god’s gotta be a funny man I do
           C   F   Am   G
‘Cuz I got you
 
 
[Verse 2]
                       C
One piece in hot beach sand,
                       F
Make it through to the weekend
                            Am
The shape you take when you sleep-in
                G
Reckon God is a funny man
                            C          F       Am       G
For puttin’ beauty in these ugly hands
 
 
[Chorus]
           C
And it was cold but I was warmer than I’d ever been
         F
I’ll get old but I wish I was younger then
         Am                            G
I reckon god’s gotta be a funny man I do
           C   F   Am   G
‘Cuz I got you
 
 
[Instrumental]
 C   F   Am   G
 
[Outro]
              C
You know that time goes
              F
Right out the window
        Am
And our hearts
                      G
They beat on borrowed time
                       C
Pack the car while the creek’s runnin’
                     F
Cast-a-line with the dawn comin’
                 Am
You know I wanna believe in somethin’
               G
Somethin’ like you

[Verse 1].
- Chords (C, F, Am, G)

- Nuances: Allow the chords to ring out, especially on lines ending in
"borrowed time" and "yet."

[Chorus]
- Chords (C, F, Am, G)
- Strumming: Combine down and up strokes to produce dynamics.
Emphasize the negative.

for phrases like "I reckon god's gotta be a funny man."

[Verse 2].
- Chords (C, F, Am, G)
- Strumming: Use downstrokes to establish a consistent rhythm, like in Verse 1.
- Nuances: Concentrate on the story. For contemplative lines, use softer strums,
while stronger strums are used for more assertive passages.
