Chords

There are two version of the song below. The second is in Standard tuning and does not match the album at all. It's just for fun. --------------------------------------------- From the Album "Viscous" (2018) Drop D Tuning: DAGDBe [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
Jump into the fire

D
Dive in headfirst into the flames

D
We're broken and tired

D
But giving in is not the way
[Chorus]
Bb                                F
Here we are, killing ourselves to live

                      Gm
We just need one more hit

                            Eb
And we might just live forever

Bb
Oh, here we are

                           F
We're going down with this ship

                        Gm
And if this is our last trip

                  Eb
At least we'll go together

                   Eb
We might just live forever
[Verse 2]
D
Hang on till the morning

D
Watch the war light up the sky

D
Cave without a warning

D
But we'll be dead before we say "die"
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
         Dm
Breaking out of the cage and into the fire

        Bb
Channel the rage, holding it tighter

    Am
And I'm not afraid of the pain that I fight for

    Dm
Out of the cage and into the fire

Bb
Channel the rage, holding it tighter

    C
And I'm not ashamed to give in to desire

D
I will fight for you

D
Win or lose
[Chorus]

--------------------------------------------- The following does NOT match the recording. It's what I use when on an acoustic. Transpose to whatever makes you happy. When on an acoustic I play the chords in the verses muted and chunky and then let the open chords ring out for the chorus/bridge. it gives the song a similar flavor from the album. --------------------------------------------- Killing Ourselves to Live - Halestorm Standard tuning: EADGBe [Intro] E [Verse 1]
