Chords

Piano Players: Transpose +5 to get to the original key (key of C). Novice Players: To avoid playing a bar chord (B or Bm) transpose +5 and don't use a capo. If you want you can experiment with the chords below in different versions, because he is playing many variations of the same chord. The song is played with fingerstyle, there's no strumming pattern (only arpeggio). So be creative :) [Intro] G C2 G Em C G G C2 G Em C G [Verse 1]
G                       C2                   G      Em
Well I'm sorry for the time that I’ve been taking

           C2              G   C2   G
And the lines that I’ve crossed

      C2              G
The mess that I’ve been making

Am                         D7
And for everything you’ve lost

C          D7              G
The heart that I’ve been breaking

B7                    Em     D7
For the damage and the cost

Oh forgive me darling

I am helplessly lost
[Verse 2]
G                   C2               G
I'm sorry for the stories that I told you

   Em     C           G    C2  G
And the lies that I spoke

G
The future that I sold you

Am                   D7
And the promises I broke

  C        D7                G
For the love that I’ve been taking

I am helplessly lost
[Bridge]
D7                        C
How many deals will I make

                         Em
With the devil what’s it take

                   D7
For a foolish man to learn

D7                     C
How many years will I go

                       Em
Setting fire to all I know

                        Bm
Just to watch the city burn

       C
Oh my dear we’ve reached a river we can’t cross

C                          D7          G
So leave me here for I am helplessly lost
