Chords

Massive thanks to guitarchik13 for their original post, it was exactly the shot in the arm I needed to get my head around this plus the lead is a direct copy/paste (why change perfection?) if you transpose the chords down 5 steps you will be able to play without the capo, so use the tool here on UG to the right to do that if needed (not applicable to intro tabs)

                       D5
I don't want to be the crutch

F            G        D5        
   One step away from down

F          G              D5
   I don't want to be the crutch

F            G
   One step away from

Dm
Man I feel like hell so come on over
Be a love machine and I could be your friend Ain't no shame feel strong for one another Make a real true color come end to end then
Gm
   God damn, change of pace
I think you've got a piece of my heart on your face It's a shame to let it waste
            Dm
How does it taste? How does it taste?

Dm
Break it down in pieces, make it simple
'Cause you know damn well that I'm a simple man All these things go changing like the weather And they stay that way until the weather man says
Gm
   One down, gone to waste
I think you've got a piece of that smile on your face I would like it erased
                         Bb        C
There ain't no two ways about it no

                       D5

F            G        D5          F       G
   One step away from down, down, down

Dm
Bring it on then gone, use a lover
Like a cigarette the way that lovers do One sweet song that starts a little slow and Then goes on and on and makes you want to
Gm
Move around the room in circles
Everybody wants to be you Try to find my place up on the map Of all men you've been through Dig a little deeper and you'll realize
                 Bb                A9b9
All I'm building up you're tearing down

                     D5
All it needed was a crutch

F            G        D5
