Chords

Album: One Upon a Hell of a Time (2017) You may want to play your A chord using only your index finger, then use your pinky to play the G# on the 4th fret of the low E-sting when walking down to F#m [Intro] F#m A x4 [Verse 1]
D                     A
I met her in the spring

D                       A
When the earth began to breathe again

D                      A
She snuck in with the dawn

D
And just like summer she was gone
[Verse 2]
F#m              A
Lonely is just a word

F#m                       A
And it don't mean shit to me

F#m                        A
Cause I'm a hummingbird in hawk wings

D
Designed to be free
[Chorus]
    F#m                        A         A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone

        F#m
And the tears that fall down my face

A                 A/G#
Soon will turn to stone now

    F#m                        A          A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone

          D (hold)
Cause I'm sick of throwing stones up at your window
[Verse 3]
                   A
Broken hearts beat harder

   D                        A
On highways built along the water

D                         A
How many times do I gotta tell you

                 D
It's all in your mind
[Verse 4]
F#m             A
Nothing is what it seems

           F#m                 A
We're just dust in the arclight beams

F#m                        A
Shining off the back of my eyelids

                D (hold)
While I lay here
While I lay here trying to dream [Chorus]
    F#m                        A         A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone

        F#m
And the tears that fall down my face

A                 A/G#
Soon will turn to stone now

    F#m                        A          A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone

          D
Cause I'm sick of throwing stones up at your window
[Solo] F#m A A/G# x2 [Bridge]
        F#m
For the love

        A
For the love

        F#m
For the love

        A     A/G#
For the love

        D
For the love
For the love [Chorus]
    F#m                        A         A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone

        F#m
And the tears that fall down my face

A                 A/G#
Soon will turn to stone now

   F#m                        A         A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone

    F#m                        A         A/G#
Yeah all your dark promises are gone

    F#m
Are gone

    A A/G#
Are gone
[Outro] F#m A A/G#
