F#m should actually be F#m7b5(202210), which can be played as Am/F#. VERSE
Em      C      F#m      B7
Took me years to make my motives clear

Em      C      F#m      B7
And the days have not been kind

Em      C      F#m      B7
Once a steady gaze and charming smile

Em      C      F#m      B7
Has been buried in the lines I find

Em      C      F#m      B7
I walk in the noise, quiet employs

Em      C      F#m      B7
And darkness seems to know just where I am
CHORUS
C       Am     E        E
Mother wash the devil from my hands

C       Am     E        E
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand

C       Am     E        E
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?

C       Am
Show me where the angels die
VERSE
Em      C      F#m      B7
There are words that never found my lips

Em      C      F#m      B7
There are words I'd soon forget

Em      C      F#m      B7
Thought the trick was never to look back

Em      C      F#m      B7
But it seems I've lost my grip, I slip

Em      C      F#m      B7
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now

Em      C      F#m      B7
And somehow all the bullets bear my name
CHORUS
C       Am     E        E
Mother wash the devil from my hands

C       Am     E        E
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand

C       Am     E        E
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?

C       Am     E        E
Show me where the angels die
SOLO: C Em (x4) Am C F F (x4) VERSE
Em      C      F#m      B7
Took the road but should have chased the stars

Em      C      F#m      B7
Now I've lost my own way home

Em      C      F#m      B7
Had a photo of the time we shared

Em      C      F#m      B7
But I burned it long ago, I know

Em      C      F#m      B7
I struck the matches stuck in the ashes

Em      C      F#m      B7
Forgive me, won't you simply speak my name
CHORUS
C       Am     E        E
Mother wash the devil from my hands

C       Am     E        E
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand

C       Am     E        E
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?

C       Am     E        E
Show me where the angels die
