Chords

Well, here's the chords, I think they're pretty darn accurate - I even took the track and slowed it down so I could hear the guitar chords better. There's a lot of distortion and awesome dissonance between the bass/guitar in this track... THE LYRICS ARE SO MUFFLED. There is NOT ONE official/good/correct standard on the web, so I will try my best. [Intro] G E C E (x4) [Verse 1]

         G          Em      C
Well I'm building a highway back,

C           D        A
Back to the heart of things,

Am      C       Bm          D
No love left to walk back,

Am          G        C
Back to the heart of things...

D
So...

G       F         C
Falling above and black,

C       D         A
All our city gone red,

Am            C       Bm   D
When I get it all for you,

Am        G      C
I'm gonna get it all...

D
True...   True...

[Organ part] G - Em - C C - D - A Am - C - Bm D Am - G - C - D [Bass line part] G - E - C - E (x4) [Verse 2]

        G          Em        C
It's so cold an' I say good-bye,

       C          D       A
With a hold and a meaning why,

         Am           C      Bm  D
But you never let the parted in,

Am            G           C
Holdin' on to sound don't swim,

                  D
...Didj'you wanna worry now...

G             Em      C
Said it would take me home,

C          D          A
All of the fitting it broke,

Am           C          Bm       D
Say whatchu' want don't bring,

Am       G          C     D
Anything back to... Me.... ....

      G           Em       C
Yes a whole lotta day goes by,

C            D           A
Hopin' for a lover won't lie,

Am         G        C       D
If I get a lie from you    -ou

Am        G           C      D
I'll make it all come true    -ue

[Outro] Repeat verse chords, and add your off-kilter La la la la la la's!
