Chords

Transcribed by Ginge 3rd Fret Capo !!! I think that this song is mostly correct. I seem to have been the only person who has attempted to transcribe it yet. There are a few bass line fills that are based around the root chord that can be played with a bit of practise. Listen to the track to pick them up. Please comment if you find any corrections. 3rd Fret Capo!!!

Verse
     Am                          Dm
I've waited a long time for this life

        Am                       Em  
Just to ruin it, so please don't ruin this for me

       Am
Yes to understand this lie

       Dm
Hell I crossed those t's

                          Em                Dm 
I scratched out all these eyes, myself last night

       Em             Am (intro riff x2)
What I promise not to find

   Am                                  Dm
So this is what I'm looking like these days

             Am              Em
I'm all grown up, so full of hate

    Am                         Dm
But I don't wanna let go of my rage

              Am                     Em
Cause it's the salt, that brings the taste
Chorus
   F                                 G
So where am I to decide that I'm not right?

              Am        Em     G
Cause I might break and I might bend

                   Am     Em     G
Your heart strings out of tune again

            Am     Em     G
And I might try to apologize

          Dm
On a good day

       G 
On my best day

   Em        Am         
If you stick around

      Am                            Dm
Did I stay inside to sterilize this knife?

              Am                 Em
Am I being to careful? Does this seem right?

      Am                   Dm
Did I open up the shades to expose the sunny rays?

   Am                     Em
To show what burned there inside
Chorus
F                                             G
Take a close look, Hold me right up in to the light

              Am        Em     G
Cause I might break and I might bend

                   Am     Em     G
Your heart strings out of tune again

            Am     Em     G
And I might try to apologize

          Dm
On a good day

       G 
On my best day

   Em        F

F                Am
I've waited for so long

F                Dm
I've waited for so long

          F 
Spread me out, rake me in

     Am
This scorched and rocky field

     G
Will camouflage my skin
Chorus
            Am        Em     G
And I might break and I might bend

                   Am     Em     G
Your heart strings out of tune again

On a good day

       G 
On my best day

   Em        Am         
If you stick around

On my best day

   Em        Am      
If you stick around
