Chords
The strumming pattern's not too tough, just listen to the song. This is how John plays
it live on his acoustic.
Sometimes I play it slow and arpeggiated, two steps down with C/Csus, Am, F, and then G
for the bridge.
[Verse]
A / Asus2 Diamonds in the firmament
All reserves completely spent
F#m Someone set up the oxygen tent D Everybody here's real proud to present A Choked out
[Verse]
A / Asus2 Two hundred dollar take-all purse
Half-nelson to suplex reverse
F#m Worried look on the face of the ringside nurse D At one, for once, with the universe A Choked out F#m D A Choked out, choked out, choked out
[Verse]
A / Asus2 I stretch and strain with all my might A / F#m Drift off into the velvety arms of the night F#m Kick and claw and scratch and bite D Fire up the grill, everybody eats tonight A Choked out
[Bridge]
F#m A No brakes down F#m A An endless dark incline F#m A Most of the boys F#m A Won't ever cross this line F#m A F#m A If they all want to die dead broke that's fine, that's fine F#m A Everybody's got their limits D E Nobody's found mine
[Verse]
A / Asus2 Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase
All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
F#m I lift right off into space D I can see the future, it's a real dark place F#m D A Choked out, choked out, choked out F#m D A Choked out, choked out, choked out
