Chords

You can use a normal Am in the chorus, I just like the sus4 because the vocals hit a D note which doesn't fit the Am all that well [Intro] G, Am G, Am G, Am, Bm, C G, Am, G [Verse 1]
G
My hand to God

  Am
I didn't mean to

      G 
After all

                Am             G
Look what we've been through 

                                      Am
Men come in different shades

G                    Am 
    That's how we're made

G                                             Am
The little house on Ellis Drive

G               Am 
Is where I felt most alive

G                             Am 
The oak tree covered that old Ford

  G               Am 
I miss it Lord, I miss it Lord
[Chorus]
      C     Asus4  G
These blood red eyes

      C   Asus4 G 
Don't see so good

    C      Asus4       G       D 
But what's worse is if they could

        C 
Would I change my ways?

C Asus4 G         C  Asus4  G
Wasted times and broken dreams

C  Asus4 G         D 
Violent colors so obscene

           C           Cm    G 
It's all I see these days 
These days G, Am G, Am [Verse 2]
G
Watch what you say 

Am
The devil is listenin' 

         G
He's got ears that you

           Am
Wouldn't believe 

G                                                               Am
And brother once you go to him 

          G     
It's your soul you can never,

Am
never, never retrieve!
[Chorus]
      C     Asus4  G
These blood red eyes

      C   Asus4 G 
Don't see so good

    C      Asus4       G       D 
But what's worse is if they could

        C 
Would I change my ways?

C Asus4 G         C  Asus4  G
Wasted times and broken dreams

C  Asus4 G         D 
Violent colors so obscene

           C           Cm    G 
It's all I see these days 
These days [Outro] G, Am G, Am G, Am, Bm, C G, Am
