Chords

Tabbed by Rohan P. You're welcome to use a capo on the first fret to make this easier to play, but I'm fairly sure Jason uses barre chords when playing this live and in the recorded version and I think such barre chords are fuller and more faithful to the record's sound. * [Verse]

F#            G#m            D#m
   There ain't nothing beyond hope

F#            G#m            D#m
   There ain't nothing beyond hope

          F#              G#m          D#m
I've been thrashed by the hope of your body

          F#              G#m          D#m
I've been thrashed by the hope of your eyes

F#               G#m           D#m
   You looked me square in the eyes

               F#      G#m                  D#m
You said don't take but one thing to be your truth

               F#      G#m                  D#m
You said don't take but one thing to be your truth
[Chorus]
         D#m         Db       G#m
When I'm back on the top again

         D#m         Db       G#m
When I'm back on the top again

            F#       G#m
That is the truth

             D#m
That is your truth

I've been thrashed by the truth of your body

I've been thrashed by the truth of your eyes

When I'm back on the top again

         D#m         Db       G#m
When I'm back on the top again

            F#       G#m
That is the truth

            D#m
That is the truth

That is the truth
