Chords

I find the Capo is easier so you can let the open strings ring in a bluesy way. Otherwise you can easily play it all barre chords. Chords I use are: Barre chord B, Open D, Open E. [Intro] B D B E [Verse 1]
  B                           D
I took out a loan on my empty heart, babe

  B                      E
I took out a loan for my patient soul

    B                               D
And I feel alive as long as I don't need you

    B                              E
And I feel alive as long as I keep hold
B D B E [Verse 2]
  B                           D
I took out a loan on my empty heart, babe

  B                      E
I took out a loan for my patient soul

    B                               D
And I feel alive as long as I don't need you

    B                              E
And I feel alive as long as I keep hold

          B                            D
Of what I think, I thought I heard you loved me

  B                             E
I think you thought you heard I loved
[Chorus]
     E         D B         E         D B
Have I been mistaken? Have I been mistaken?

     E    D     B         E        B
I feel confused about the way it's done
B D B E [Verse 3]
  B                                   D
I won't be denied, I'm coming in this time, babe

     B                                   E
I've fallen in love with your creature's soul

    B                                     D
And I've been a witness to your sickest obsession

    B                              E
And I feel alive as long as I keep hold

          B                            D
Of what I think, I thought I heard you loved me

  B                             E
I think you thought you heard I loved
[Chorus]
     E         D B         E         D B
Have I been mistaken? Have I been mistaken?

     E    D     B         E        B
I feel confused about the way it's done

     E         D B         E         D B
Have I been mistaken? Have I been mistaken?

     E    D     B         E        B
I feel confused about the way it's done

     E         D B         E         D B
Have I been mistaken? Have I been mistaken?

     E    D     B         E        B
I feel confused about the way it's done
Then it finishes jamming out on B (C without a Capo) and just going crazy I think.
