Chords

For the two verses, Tyler Joseph plucks single strings at a time. I've done my best to show the order he does it in below. At the end of the verse when he sings "Now I see intentions don't mean much", he switches to a slow single down strum for each chord. For the rest of the song he uses the strum pattern, the emphasis on certain strums is hard to replicate but if you listen closely you'll hear it. [Chords]

[Verse 2] same as verse 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Intro] muted strum DUDU C G B7 Em C G Bm [Verse 1]
C              G
Seems I get in my own way

    B7                Em
The more I think, the less I say

C          G             Bm
I hope I communicate the craving

Am                                C
Now I see intentions don’t mean much
[Chorus] muted strum DUDU
Em
Say enough, say enough

       G
Did I let her know, let her know

Bm   Em       C        G
If I found my body in chains

    B7           Em
I’d lay down and wait

    C                  G Bm Em
And hope she looks for me

    C                  D
And hope she looks for me

D
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
C                 G
She just wants to catch a wave

B7                 Em
Ride it out to the end of her days

  C               G           Bm
I hope that I can satiate the craving

Am                             C
Now I see a gesture don’t mean much
[Chorus] muted strum DUDU
Em
Say enough, say enough

       G
Did I let her know, let her know

Bm   Em       C        G
If I found my body in chains

    B7           Em
I’d lay down and wait

    C                  G Bm Em
And hope she looks for me, mm

    C                  D
And hope she looks for me

D
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Bridge] C G B7 Em C G Bm
Am               C
(hm, hm, hm, hm, hm)
[Chorus]
Em
Say enough, say enough

       G
Did I let her know, let her know

Bm   Em       C       G
If I found my body in chains

    B7           Em
I’d lay down and wait

                C           G
’Cause it’s the fear of the unknown

              Bm            Em
That cripples every step we take

           C                 G
And I just hate to put this on her

       B7               Em              D       C     G
But I swear that I will give more than I take away
[Outro]

(Mm)

   Bm
The craving

Am                              C
Now I see intentions don’t mean much
