Over My Head


"Over My Head" by The Fray is a song written and performed in the original key of A major. It was released as the first single from their debut album "How to Save a Life" in 2005. The song was written by the band's lead vocalist Isaac Slade and guitarist Joe King. Interestingly, "Over My Head" wasn't initially intended to be on the album, but it was included because the label thought it had potential. The melody of the song is characterized by a heartfelt and emotive piano-driven sound, accompanied by poignant lyrics that explore themes of confusion and vulnerability in relationships.

Over My Head (Cable Car) - The Fray

g g f f
I never knew
a a f f g g f f g g f f
I never knew that everything was falling through
f a g g g g f f g g f f
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
f a a# g
To turn and run
f f g a a# a a a# a g
When all I needed was the truth

g g g g g f f
But that’s how it’s gotta be
f a g g g g f f g g f f
It’s coming down to nothing more than apathy
f a g g g g f f g g f f
I’d rather run the other way than stay and see
f a g f g
The smoke and who’s still
f a a# a a# a g
Standing when it clears
f
And

Refrão:
d c c d a# a
Everyone knows I’m in
g f c a
Over my head
g f c a
Over my head
f f d c a g f g a
With eight seconds left in overtime
g f a# a
She’s on your mind
g f g a
She’s on your mind

g g f f
Let’s rearrange
f a g g g g f f g g f f
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
f a g g g g f g g f f
Just say that we agree and then never change
f a a# g
Soften a bit
f f g a a# a a# a g
Until we all just get along

g g g f f
But that’s disregard
a g g g g f g g f
Find another friend and you discard
f f a g g g g f g g f f
As you lose the argument in a cable car
f a a# g
Hanging above
f g a a# a a# a g
as the canyon comes between
f
And

Refrão:
d c c d a# a
Everyone knows I’m in
g f c a
Over my head
g f c a
Over my head
f f d c a g f g a
With eight seconds left in overtime
g f a# a
She’s on your mind
g f a# a
She’s on your mind
