i’ve put the basic chords here but if you find this difficult or annoying you can just
transpose it down half a step and put a capo on 1
this means that with capo 1 :
D# = D
G# = G
Fm = Em
A# = A
it’s much easier to play this way
intro :
D# – G#
verse one :
D# G# D#
stale sweat and cinnamon
G# D#
i guess she is frightened most of all
G# D# G#
loves to fly but she’s scared to fall
verse two :
D# G# D#
she’s got scars on the outside
G#
says they’re the worst kind
D#
and i don’t ask
G# D# G#
she turns the lights out and locks the door
chorus/hook :
Fm G# D# G#
if this is fate count me out
Fm
and never try
G# D# G#
please never try to hold her down
third and fourth verses are the same as first and second
verse three :
broken home
broken bones
she never told anyone but me
and everything seemed make believe
verse four :
we both ran
you can’t ever catch horizon
guess that’s why we’ve both been riding so damn long
she says she thinks of me as home
chorus/hook :
Fm G# D# G#
if this is fate count me out
Fm
and never try
G# D# G#
please never try to hold her down
bridge :
A# G#
hands on hips and lips to lips
A# G#
i don’t know how much someone could take from her
A#
fourth of july
G#
watch the night sky
A# G#
i’m wondering why the truth ain’t so easy this time
D# – G# to finish
