Chords for Papa Roach - Scars (Live Acoustic @ YouTube Space New York)

[Ebm] _ [Ab] _ [N] We're live at the CDGV set in Manhattan over at the YouTube Space.
I'm Anthony Vincent, I'm the voice of 10 Second Songs.
We're joined here with Papa Roach.
Their new album Fear will be released on January 27th.
And we're going to get into a little bit of a Q&A, but first we're going to do an exclusive
acoustic performance from the guys.
Take it away.
Yeah, here we are right now.
We're going to play you guys this track right here.
This kind of changed the course of our career, changed our writing as well as a band, too,
the way we approach music.

And our scars [F] remind us past is [Cm] real.
I tear my [Eb] heart open [F] just [Gm] to feel.
I [Dm] tried to help you [Bb] once [Dm] against my own [Eb] advice.

Oh, yeah.
[Gm] I cry.
_ _ [Db] Awesome, [D] man. _
_ Guys, that was awesome.
Thank you very much, man. You're awesome.
Thanks, man.
You rock, dude.
I appreciate that.
I'm like, man, your voice is off the chain.
I was watching some of those videos you do on YouTube,
and I'm just like, yes!
I appreciate that.
The Michael Jackson one [N] is my favorite.
We're going to get into a little bit of Q&A
right now from Twitter and Facebook.
I'm going to ask the first question.
So talk about the process of this album a little bit.
Does anyone contribute lyrics?
Just break it down just for us to know.
It's always music first, and then lyrics and vocals.
This time was a little different because we didn't really
have any material going into the record.
Normally, we like to write and then record.
The whole situation was different, too,
the way they work there.
There's really no, there was a place to jam,
but they didn't really allow us to do it.
So we kind of had to write at the house that we all lived in.
And then once we got the first song done,
which was Broken As Me, we immediately
heard it because they kind of mixed it as we went.
So we got to hear pretty much 90% of the finished,
what it would sound like as a finished product.
So immediately, our worries were put to rest.
It's like Tobin is like a whirlwind of riffs and ideas.
And it's like sometimes you've got to stand around
and just catch them and go, that one's good.
That one's great.
That one's awesome.
And me and Jerry are very more like,
we sit back and reflect on the music.
We're more calculated about it.
So it's interesting how our approach is different,
but it makes us us.
It's cool, man.
It's the process.
All right, so the next question is from Chris Junior Anderson.
Was Face Everything and Rise inspired by specific events?
And if so, what events and how?
_ Pretty much in the process of the record,
I think it was about 3 quarters of the way through,
I just started to feel like that overall theme in the record.
And when I came in, in the very beginning of the record,
I had all these big old sheets of paper hung on the wall
so I could write a bunch of ideas on them.
And the only thing I wrote on the paper
was Face Everything and Rise.
And I just felt like there was a home for that idea.
This record, _ _ the way I approached it
was, _ if this was my last record _ as a singer, as a songwriter,
what would I say?
What's my purpose?
What's the theme?
And I think _ it's inspiring.
There's hope in it.
In a world as crazy as it is now,
and as much fear that gets thrown at people,
and as much brokenness that is out there,
we want to be an outlet of some hope.
And so that title really stirred that emotion in me.
And eventually, we found a song that
fit rhythmically for Face Everything and Rise.
Because I was like, every song the guys wrote,
I'm trying to find fit the lyrics Face Everything and Rise to.
And so finally, when the music for that one came around,
it was like, oh, finally, it's here.
It arrived.
So Casey Leslie Elliott, she asks,
we know that you've been sober for a few years now,
which is great.
Congrats.
Are there any words of advice you
can give to someone who is battling addiction?
Anybody that's battling addiction, man,
that's a tough one, man.
Because somebody could give me advice back in the day,
and I just wasn't one to listen.
I had to just kind of plummet to the bottom a few times.
In my own way and fail my own way.
But it's like, if you're in the thick of it,
and you're hurting, and you're in pain,
reach out to a friend.
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Essentially, what it is is your bottom
is where you make your bottom.
So you don't have to go all the way down.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's pull the plug.
You know what I'm saying?
Save yourself.
We have a question from Ashley Jensen over here.
So I was wondering if you guys had any solid plans
to do a 15th anniversary tour for Infest? _
_ We have plans.
How solid they are?
Pretty much, we're just going to leave it at that.
You know, we definitely want to do something
to honor that record.
But there's nothing solidified that's like,
this is going to be the day where we're going to play
Infest or do that.
But I mean, in my idea, it would just
be cool to pop up here and there and just not tell people.
And just, oh, surprise concert.
Look, we're going to play this in its entirety.
OK, so we got another question from Kira Lee.
Did there ever come a point in your lives
where making music had to come as a second priority?
And if so, what had to be put first?
In the beginning, we had to have day jobs.
We had a band fund that we would put money in from t-shirts
or _ CDs that we sold.
But that went right back into the gas or the equipment
or the recordings or anything like that.
You had the worst day job.
I was a roofer for a little while,
which I don't really ever want to do that again.
I was a janitor at a hospital.
That was a terrible job.
For me, about two years ago, exactly, _ we were on tour.
My wife was pregnant.
And I was like, there was the possibility
of her going into labor while we were on tour.
So luckily, my brother was out on tour with us teching.
And I was like, you better learn these bass lines
because there's a possibility I'm going to have to jump
on an airplane.
It didn't happen.
But sometimes you have to make that call.
That was Papa Roach.
