verse 1 – continue the intro picking with 2nd guitar strumming the chords

Am
falling from high places , falling through lost spaces ,
C
now that we’re lonely , now that there’s nowhere to go .
Am
watching from both sides these , clock towers burning up ,
C Am
i lost my time here , i lost my patience with it all . mmmm

then the picking slightly changes

Am C
E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – |
B | | – – – – 1 – – 3 – – 1 – – – – 3 – – 1 – – | – – – – 1 – – 3 – – 1 – – – – 3 – – 1 – – | – – – – 1 – – 5 – – 1 – – – – 3 – – 1 – – | – – – 1 – – 5 – – 1 – – – – 3 – – 1 – – – |
G | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
D | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
A | | – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

then just the chords

C Bm
we lost faith , in the arms of love .

chorus , here i integrate this pattern into the chords :

E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G | | – – – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – |
D | | – – 2 – – 2 – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – 0 – 2 – – |
A | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

so something like this ( fast strumming , youll work out the rhythm im sure : ] , this is
just the basic idea )

Am C
E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | | – 1 – – 1 – – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – | – 1 – – 1 – – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – | – 1 – – 1 – – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – | – 1 – – 1 – – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – – |
G | | – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – | – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – | – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – | – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – – |
D | | – 2 – – 2 – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – 0 – 2 – | – 2 – – 2 – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – 0 – 2 – | – 2 – – 2 – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – 0 – 2 – | – 2 – – 2 – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – 0 – 2 – – |
A | | – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – 0 – | – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – 0 – | – 3 – – 3 – – 3 – 3 – – – 3 – 3 – 3 – | – 3 – – 3 – – 3 – 3 – – – 3 – 3 – 3 – – |
E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

as you strum try to pick out the pattern at the same time

Am C
where you been hiding lately , where you been hiding from the news?
Am C
because we’ve been fighting lately , we’ve been fighting with the wolves .
Am C
ooooaaaah with the wolves .
Am C
ooooooaaah with the wolves . red tongues and hands .

verse 2 ( same as verse 1 )

Am
falling from high places , falling through lost spaces ,
C
now that we’re lonely , now that we’re so far from home .
Am
watching from both sides , these towers been tumbling down ,
C
i lost my mind here , i lost my patience with the lord .
Am C
oh with the lord .
Am Bm
we lost faith , oh in the arms of love .

chorus pattern

Am C
love love love
Am C
where you been hiding lately , where you been hiding from the news?
Am C
because we’ve been fighting lately , we’ve been fighting with the wolves .
Am C
ooooooaaah with the wolves .
Am C
ooooooaaah with the wolves . red tongues and hands .
Am C
red tongues and hands .

break

oooo oh oh oh

Am C
oooo oh oh oh oooohhhh x2

Am Bm
we lost faith , in the arms of love .

finish on Am

little extra!!!

if im playing this on my own during the verses i integrate the verse picking with the
chords but an octave down , so the pattern is :

E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G | | – – 2 – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – 2 – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
D | | – – – – – – – – – – 2 – – – – 0 – – 2 – – | – – – – – – – – – 2 – – – – 0 – – 2 – – – | – – 0 – – 2 – – – – – – – – 2 – – 0 – – – | – – 0 – – 2 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
A | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

so as you strum the chords play this pattern at the same time , again works best with
fast strumming

Am C
E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | | – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – | – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – | – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – | – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – |
G | | – 2 – 2 – 0 – 0 – – – – – – – – – | – 2 – 2 – 0 – 0 – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – 0 – 0 – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – 0 – 0 – – – – – |
D | | – – – – – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 0 – 2 – | – – – – – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 0 – 2 – | – 0 – 0 – 2 – 2 – – – – – 2 – 0 – | – 0 – 0 – 2 – 2 – – – – – 2 – 0 – |
A | | – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – | – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – | – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – | – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – |
E | | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

sort of , well you get the gist anyway!!!

enjoy the song , jam
