Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- The difficult chord in the second half of the verse is a C diminished with a B bass which is difficult to replicate on a guitar, so instead you may play the regular C diminished as shown below (or even more simply play a regular B chord).

[Verse]
         E               C#m7 
  Well I know I might be wrong

F#m7      B7sus4         G9
  And the vows I haven't made may be wasted

  F#m7     B7          E         C7   F#m7   B7
  Copy and pasted from false memories

        E        C#m7   F#m7   B7sus4  
  And I very well could   be expecting

      G9
  Too much from a lover

    F#m7       B7         E          C7
  I needlessly suffer for soft yesterdays

F#m7         Cdim/B      G#7          C#m7
  And lovely laying on a porch in the rain

  F#m7            B7            Em               Am6  C   G
  When faced with adverse circumstances it's the same
(When faced with adverse circumstan- ces it's the same) [Chorus]
  G          Am/E Am      Am/E E
  Still  you love me, you say  so

    F#m     B7    E   
  Enough to recognize  

  G            Am/E Am       Am/E  E
  That  you're lu-  cky, you think so

      F#m   B7     E   C#m7  Am/F#  B7sus4 B7
  But how lucky am I?
E C#m7 Am/F# B7 [Verse]
       E              C#m7
  If I turn it on it's head 

F#m7       B7sus4           G9
  Will the blood rush to it and make me dizzy

  F#m7       B7          E            C7     F#m7   B7
  Or will it give me the truth that I crave?

         E        C#m7 
  When I post my 95       

F#m7       B7sus4         G9
  It comes out of me like rags on a scholar 

    F#m7     B7   
  A dog on a collar

      E         C7
  For I make no sense

F#m7          Cdim/B              G#7          C#m7 
  Afraid that hurtful words could fill my last breath

F#m7        B7             Em          Am6   C   G
  A million memories could not sew my chest
(A million memories could not sew my chest) [Chorus]
  G        Am/E Am       Am/E E
  Still  I hurt you, you say  so

   F#m       B7        E
  Enough to make you cry

  G          Am/E  Am      Am/E  E
  Still  you don't know, I don't show 

      F#m    B7     E
  The reason for my lies
