Chords

I love this song, pity it's just a demo. It can be played with acoustic guitar although chorus (and pre-chorus) are 5th with distortion. Verse arrangements:

INTRO C Am Dm G x2
C                  Am    Dm
The poet's head is dead

                       G
His words have been misread

C                        Am   Dm
And the cynic's lips are dry

                     G        C
His vulture tongue obsessed

(C)       Dm
You gotta love the earth

G
Don't burn my wings

Em
Too close to the sun
CHORUS
Am                    C        G
What the hell am I supposed to do

G                   C       Am
When you're pushing hard on me

Am                   C        G
who the hell am I supposed to be

G                        C    Am
When you're bleeding all over me
C Dm G (G)
C
God knows I'm good

Am
So misunderstood

          Dm    G
Coming to you   Ah-ah

C
I'm down on my own

Am
No spirit unknown

       Dm         G                        C
That's why I'm supposed to believe in you

(C)    Dm
I love the earth

G
Don't burn my wings

Em
Too close to the sun
(CHORUS) What the hell am I supposed to do When you're pushing hard on me who the hell am I supposed to be When you're bleeding all over me
Am
Said it before

Em
Sayin' it again

(Em)
Holy fools yea
C Dm G G x2 (CHORUS) What the hell am I supposed to do When you're pushing hard on me who the hell am I supposed to be When you're bleeding hard for me
Am                             C                  G
What are you gonna do when the light gets in your eye

G                                       C    Am
You're gonna find that there's--there's life outside

Am          C        G
Who am I supposed to be

G              C             Am
When you're so hard, hard on me
OUTRO
(C)                   Am
Oh the poet's head is dead

Dm                  G
His words have been misread

C                    Am
The cynic's lips are dry

Dm                  G
His vulture tongue obsessed

(G)                       C                 
And he wants to know that God knows I'm good...
(Am) (Dm) (G) (C)
