Chords

This is a simpler way to play the song in standard tuning. I use this for teaching my guitar students who haven't advanced to barre chords or alternate [Intro] C [Verse 1] (just alternate the 5th and 2nd strings of the C chord)

C
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes

I struggle to find any truth in your lies And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know My weakness I feel I must finally show [Verse 2]

C                           G            C
Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all

C                               G            C
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall

C                       G               C
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see

C                            G       C
But your soul you must keep, totally free

[Pre-chorus]

G   Am   G    C      
Har har, har har x2

[Chorus]

G Fmaj7  G   C    G Fmaj7   G    C
Awake    my soul, awake     my soul

[Verse 3]

    C                       G        C
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes

C                      G             C
I struggle to find any truth in your lies

    C                        G             C
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know

   C                      G       C
My weakness I feel I must finally show

[Pre-chorus]

G   Am   G    C      
Har har, har har x2

[Bridge]

         F              C              Am             C
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die

      F               C     Am                    C                     
Where you invest your love, you invest your life (repeat)
