Chords

Notes from the Author: It took me a while to get this sounding right. There's a lot of nuances to the way I play it so I do plan on uploading a youtube video to show you how I do it. In any case, I hope you enjoy and get to play this absolute banger. Chords Used: B7 02120X Em 02200X B5 0244XX Am 002210 B X24432 C 032010 C/B 020010 G 320003

[Intro] Em B5 Em B5 [Verse 1]
  Am              B7                 Em     B5      Em
Breathing in the dark, lying on its side

  Am              B7                 Em      B5     Em
The ruins of the day, painted with a scar

  Am                     B7                           Em  B5    Em
And the more I straighten out, the less it wants to try

   Am                 B7                    B5          Em
The feelings start to rot, one wink at a time
[Rift] [Chorus 1]
       Am
Oh

   Bm             G        C       C/B     Am
Forgiving who you are for what you stand to gain

      Bm              G          C    C/B  Am
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away

      Bm             G         C           Am
When you get out of bed, don't end up stranded

    B                             B7
Horrified with each stone on the stage

       B7
My little dark age
Am B7 B5 Em Am B7 B5 Em [Verse 2]
 Am                 B7                        Em       B5     Em
Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby

   Am                B7                      Em        B5     Em
The carvings on the face, say they find it hard

    Am                 B7                          Em    B5     Em
And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise

    Am              B7                    B5        Em
The humor's not the same, coming from denial
[Chorus 2]
      Am
Oh

 Bm                G     C     C/B  Am
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange

 Bm                G         C     C/B  Am
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away

 Bm                G       C          Am        B
If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone

  B           B7
Open-eyed, burn the page

       B7
My little dark age
Am [Chorus 3]
    Bm        G          C        C/B   Am
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange

   Bm                 G    C      C/B   Am
You know that if it hides, it doesn't go away

  Bm             G           C          Am       B
If I get out of bed, you'll see me standing all alone

   B              B7
Horrified on the stage

       B7
My little dark age
[Bridge]
 Am             B7                     Em B5 Em
Giddy with delight, seeing what's to come

 Am                B7                  Em B5 Em
The image of the dead, deadends in my mind
[Chorus 4]
         Am
Oh

  Bm                G          C      C/B       Am
Policemen swear to God, love's seeping from the guns

  Bm                  G          C       C/B    Am
I know my friends and I, would probably turn and run

 Bm                G         C        Am             B
If you get out of bed, come find us heading for the bridge

     B               B7
Bring a stone, all the rage

     B7
My little dark age
Am [Chorus 2]
    Bm          G       C       C/B     Am
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange

  Bm               G         C     C/B  Am
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away

  Bm              G        C       Am        B
If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone

   B          B7
Open-eyed, burn the page

       B7
My little dark age
[Outro] Am Bm G C C/B Am Bm G C C/B Am Bm G C Am
 B             B
All alone, open-eyed

    B7                B7         Em
Burn the page, my little dark age
