tabbed by rubyrod7 for ultimate guitar

note : thanks for youtube user madeindar for the chords . this isn’t meant to match what
dallas plays on the record , but i found these chords are good to use when you just want
to play the song in standard tuning . the switch from Em to Em9/D to Cmaj7 is pretty quick so
look out for that . also , when playing the C , if you lift off your first finger after the
first measure it sounds a bit better .

( verse 1 )

Em Em9/D Cmaj7
your words are like knives

Em Em9/D Cmaj7
they peel my skin and pierce my soul

Em Cmaj7
your body will burn tonight

Em Em9/D Cmaj7
though your heart may still remain cold

( chorus )

Em9/D * C
and i will blame myself

Em9/D * C
and i will blame myself

Em9/D * C
for holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side .

Em9/D * C
i will blame myself

( verse 2 )

Em Em9/D Cmaj7
the sheets are stained with

Em Em9/D Cmaj7
memories of your soft kiss

Em Em9/D Cmaj7
now this is all i have

Em Em9/D Cmaj7
paper and pen to remember you with

( chorus )

Em9/D * C
and i will blame myself

Em9/D * C
and i will blame myself

Em9/D * C
for holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side .

Em9/D * C
i will blame myself

( outro )

G C
can i have you?

G C
can i have you?

G C
can i have you?

G C Em9/D *
can i have you?
