( for technique go to youtube . com and search the song title there’s a video of nate

and this pattern is constant throughout the verses .

intro C/F

verse :

C F
we get out of this fight
F C
you gonna help me wrap my hands
C F
stitching up my eyes
F C
you know blood can blind

C F
and them was big old boys
F C
had fists like cinder and stone
C F
i dodge a blade on the dime
F C
and they was out to cut my throat

chorus :

E7 Am
it’s a lot , it’s a mark they’re gonna press down on you
E7 Am G
it’s a haze on my head , must’ve been hit too hard , off guard

( G ) F Am7 Dm
i think i’m gonna be it tonight
F Am7 Dm
if there’s one way out
F Am7 Dm C
it’s to swing my way through the crowd

vocal break C/F

verse :

C F
is there a blanket of pain
F C
that i can wrap up in
C F
you’ve got a hold of me now
F C
hey that’s a helluva grip
C F
and i admit i was tanked
F C
and you could say i was pissing gin

chorus

E7 Am
it’s hard to see even if i close my eyes
E7 Am G
it’s fifteen degrees i’m gonna sleep outside

( G ) F Am7 Dm
cos i got no way to feel
F Am7 Dm
and no way to ride
F Am7 Dm C
i’m busted laid up and dry
