Chords

These chords are accurate for the live version of silhouettes that they play for World Note: Upon going to a verse, swap to the verse chords but do not swap straight away from verse picking to pre-chorus/chorus picking. The Pre-chorus/chorus picking pattern doesnt start until where marked with an "/" to avoid any confusion. This is mainly so that the transition between the two seems natural and not really forced as the song is evolving. Side-note: This does not include Brynjar's part on the guitar which is why this tab sounds VERY slightly different to the live version. If you wanted to add a second guitar doing Brynjar's guitar, my thought would be put a capo on the 7th fret and then pranspose the chords -5 and stick to strumming and picking the D, G, and B strings (thats my only guess for what he is playing just without a capo). With all that being said, transposing this song +2 for a piano sounds nice alongside the guitar in this tab. Picking Pattern for the Verses -

     Am  F        C
It's hard letting go

    Am         F                  C
I'm finally at peace but it feels wrong

Am  F           C
Slow I'm getting up

   Am        F                      C
My hands and feet are weaker than before
[Pre-Chorus]
    F                     Am                  /G
And you are folded on the bed where I rest my head

                      Dm                    F
There's nothing I can see, darkness becomes me
[Chorus]
                     Am                 G
But I'm already there, I'm already there

                  Dm                   Am
Wherever there is you, I will be there too

         Am  C   F
E|-------0---3---0---|
B|1--3---1---1---1---|
G|-------2---0---2---|
D|-------2---2---3---|
A|-------0---3---0---|
E|-------------------|    x2
[Verse]
        Am     F            C
There's nothing that I'd take back

         Am                 F            C          C*
But it's hard to say there's nothing I regret

             Am                F
Cause when I sing, you shout I breathe out loud

    C                    C*
You bleed, we crawl like animals

             Am    F           C      C*
But when it's over, I'm still awake
[Pre-Chorus]
F                 Am                /G
A thousand silhouettes dancing on my chest

                 Dm                      F
No matter where I sleep, you are haunting me
[Chorus]
                Am                 G
But I'm already there, I'm already there

                Dm                     F
Wherever there is you, I will be there too

                Am                 G
But I'm already there, I'm already there

                Dm                     F
Wherever there is you, I will be there too
[Bridge] F Am G Dm x2 [Chorus]
F                  Am                 G
'Cause I'm already there, I'm already there

                Dm                     F
Wherever there is you, I will be there too

            Am                 G
I'm already there, I'm already there

                Dm                     Am
Wherever there is you, I will be there too
[Outro] Am C F x3 Am G F
