tabbed by : scott

opening chord : Bm

a very simple melody to be plucked out over the vocals

#1
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

– – – 3 – – – – – – – 3 – – – | – – – 5 – – – – – – 7 – – – – |

play the above over the first two lines of the song , this same pattern is simply shifted
the neck throughout the song . alternatively you can play the chords although due to the
simplicity of the song they are not strummed .

verse 1
G
oh thunder in my heart , this razor’s cutting sharp

Bm
and leaves me with an ever bleeding scar

#2

– – – 7 – – – – – – – 7 – – – | – – – 9 – – – – – 10 – – – – |

repeat the above line twice just after ’scar’ and then return to the first pattern for
next lines :

G
so soft , so suddenly , so that i cannot breathe

Bm
i’m drawn into a circle painted black

for the chorus ( and if you’re playing chords over the verse ) , enunciate each chord with
single downward stroke and let it ring . these chords may not be 100% but the reason
have had problems figuring them out is because the vocals drown them out a bit . i don’t
if what i’m playing is Dsus or Dmaj7 , but refer to the chord list at the bottom .

chorus
D
oh i’m hanging high ( oh im hanging high ) ,

Dsus
oh won’t you let me down ( oh won’t you let me down )

Dmaj7
i’m back where i started at , ( back where i started at )

Dmaj7
you know i’m a little lost ( y’know i’m a little lost )

D
and when it hurts the most , ( when it hurts the most )

Dsus
i’ll push a little more ( push a little more )

Dmaj7
i’m back where i started at , ( back where i started at )

Dmaj7
you know i’m a little lost

repeat for the next verse and chorus , i believe the song finishes as it began , strumming
Bm until fadeout .
