Chords
Hopefully this provides a nice basis for solo performances of this song. The song itself starts on Fmaj7/A,
not Am.
Finger-picking the Verse and Pre-Choruses sounds great (16th notes), then strumming the choruses (try
strumming in 8th notes, down down down down up).
The Fmaj7/A is played for a full measure, while the Am (and C) and G chords are played for half measures
respectively. Strumming in 8th notes, that would come out to something along the lines of:
Fmaj7/A - down down down down up down down down down up;
Am - down down down down up;
G - down down down down up.
Also, listen for how the end of each lyrical line leads into the Fmaj7/A chord of the next line during
the Verses and the Choruses (but not the Pre-Choruses).
The actual bridge is a bit different, but the normal chord progression works fine too.
[Intro] (x2)
Fmaj7/A Am G
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7/A Am G That feeling that doesn't go away just did Fmaj7/A Am G And I walked a thousand miles to prove it Fmaj7/A Am G And I'm caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts Fmaj7/A Am G The color of my blood is all I see on the rocks Fmaj7/A Am G As you sail from me
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7/A Am G Alarms will ring for eternityyyyy Fmaj7/A Am G The waves will break every chain on me Fmaj7/A Am G My bones will bleach, My flesh will flee Fmaj7/A So help my lifeless frame to breathe
[Chorus]
Fmaj7/A C G And God knows, I'm not dying but I bleed now Fmaj7/A Am G And God knows, it's the only way to heal now Fmaj7/A C G With all the blood I lost with youuuuuuuuuuu Fmaj7/A Am G It drowns the love I thought I knew
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7/A Am G The lost dreams are buried in my sleep for him Fmaj7/A Am G And this was the ecstasy of a love forgotten Fmaj7/A Am G And I'm thrown in the gunfire of empty bullets Fmaj7/A Am G And my blood is all I see Fmaj7/A As you steal my soul from me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fmaj7/A Am G Alarms will ring for eternityyyyy Fmaj7/A Am G The waves will break every chain on meeeee
