Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the rhythm only. When they play it live, it's done in Drop D tuning. I've shown how I think they play the chords, though it sounds fine to me in Standard tuning playing the chords as you usually would.

C Em D D* G [Verse 1]

           C  Em  D           C  Em  D               C  
Sever the ties,       Cut me out,       Fill up the hole

         C           Em          D        C
That I tried and I tried and I tried to fill

              Em           D      C
Oh, but I'll lie and I'll lie at will

         Em        D             C
Just to keep your feet off the floor

        Em       D               Em
And to keep my wolves from your door

[Chorus]

    C                     D*
Forgive me for I am not acting myself

           G                         C
But these bees in my breath have to come out

           C                    D*
Well you give me no reason to doubt your word

        G                           C
But I still somehow still have my reasons

      C                     D*
I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all

            G                      C
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood

          C   G   D
All this bad blood

        C   G   D 
All my bad blood

[Verse 2]

                      C  Em  D                       C  Em  D
Well I'll slash the tyres,       And I'll lock the door

                C                  Em             D                              C
So no one gets out if there's a rupture to the structure of this house that we built

        Em              D                        C
And I fucked it and I fucked it and I fucked it until

        Em          D             Em               Em
Those wolves they took all they could

[Chorus]

    C                     D*
Forgive me for I am not acting myself

           G                         C
But these bees in my breath have to come out

           C                    D*
Well you give me no reason to doubt your word

        G                           C
But I still somehow still have my reasons

      C                     D*
I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all

            G                      C
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood

          C   G   D
All this bad blood

        C   G   D 
All my bad blood

        C   G   D 
All my bad blood

        C   G   D 
All my bad blood

[Verse 3]

       C                       D*
As I walked down the road, of old St. Augustin,

    G                             C
I recall a choir singing out in worship,

           C                     D*
Well the tighter you hold, yeah she's still going to go,

       G                         C
Until all you remember is the courtship,

         C                   D*                      G                       C
Well I know I was far from perfect but I was just dying to drain all my bad blood,

        C   G   D 
All my bad blood

        C   G   D     D*    
All my bad blood

(end on G)
