Chords
You will have to listen to this song to get the strum pattern. It's like a |D D| |U D U| |D D| |U D U|
where each partition set is per chord, and the 2nd and 4th chords lead into the 3rd and the 1st.
All verses keep repeating the strum pattern and the intro chords,
and in the verses you don't play the lick off the 2nd G chord from the intro, licks are detailed below.
The chords don't all line up in the verses here, but if you get the strum pattern down and know the song well
enough to sing along you can figure it out. If you're just playing along with, keep the same beat and you'll
be fine.

Em C G Bm I'm bleeding white from my clothes, but I'm lying in the snow Em C G Bm So nobody knows I'm dying Em C G Bm If I stand on my feet, will the plan be complete Em C G Bm Em Or is the plan me not trying
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
A C D I left you behind, but you can find me if I don't wander too far away

[Verse 3]
Em C G Bm Em Yeah, I'm bleeding gold in the streets but there's no one to see C G Bm Because the kingdom is empty Em C G Bm They all left in the night, spirits broken in spite Em C G Bm Of all the promise of morning
[Chorus]
A C D I left you behind, but you can find me if I don't wander too far away Em C G Bm Yeah, if you don't wander too far away Em C G Bm Yeah, if you don't wander too far away Em C G Bm Oh, if you don't wander too far away Em C G Bm Yeah, if you don't wander too far away
