Note: Thanks for youtube user madeindar for the chords. This isn't meant to match what Dallas plays on the record, but I found these chords are good to use when you just want to play the song in standard tuning. The switch from Em to Em9/D to Cmaj7 is pretty quick so look out for that. Also, when playing the C, if you lift off your first finger after the first measure it sounds a bit better. (Verse 1)

Am             Am9/C Fmaj7
Your words are like knives

Am                Am9/C Fmaj7
They peel my skin and pierce my soul

Am                  Fmaj7
Your body will burn tonight

Am                    Am9/C Fmaj7  
Though your heart may still remain cold

(Chorus)

Am9/C*            F
And I will blame myself

Am9/C*            F
And I will blame myself

Am9/C*                              F
For holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side.

Am9/C*        F
I will blame myself

(Verse 2)

Am         Am9/C Fmaj7   
The sheets are stained with

Am       Am9/C Fmaj7
Memories of    your soft kiss

Am           Am9/C Fmaj7
Now this is all I  have

Am            Am9/C Fmaj7
Paper and pen to remember you with

(Chorus)

Am9/C*            F
And I will blame myself

Am9/C*            F
And I will blame myself

Am9/C*                              F
For holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side.

Am9/C*        F
I will blame myself

(Outro)

C     F
Can I have you?

C     F
Can I have you?

C     F
Can I have you?

C     F         Am9/C*
Can i have you?
