Chords with lyrics
All of the chords in brackets are optional. Kevin often plays them in his live performances.
The chords are pretty straightforward. Just to make things easier...
C/GC/G is 332010
B/F# is 224442
C/BC/B is x20010 (It's just a bass walk down from C majorC to A minorAm)
C/GC/G E minorEm
Your crooked days come bundled up in bunches
FF C/GC/G BB
break your brain like a branch
C/GC/G E minorEm
And push you out here asking after something
FF C/GC/G
you should know I don't have
(C/BC/B) A minorAm FF C/GC/G
'Cause If I had it you wouldn't have to ask
(C/BC/B) A minorAm FF C/GC/G
If I had it you wouldn't have to ask
C/GC/G E minorEm
Later on, when you bargain with your mirror
FF (F minorFm) C/GC/G
and you ask "is it really that bad "
(C/BC/B) A minorAm FF C/GC/G
Well if it wasn't you wouldn't have to ask
(C/BC/B) A minorAm FF DmDm D7D7 (OR
D MajorD if you so choose)
If it wasn't you wouldn't have to ask
FF C majorC
How could you know if you didn't?
FF C majorC G+G FF
What's left to say when your tongue's turned to ash?
C majorC (OR F minorFm)
I'd tell you you're fine and forgiven
A minorAm FF C/GC/G
So you wouldn't have to ask
Interlude
C/GC/G E minorEm FF C/GC/G BB
C/GC/G E minorEm FF C/GC/G
C/GC/G E minorEm
Shoot what's left, slip inside your sinner's smile
FF (F minorFm) C/GC/G
Another man in a mask
(C/BC/B) A minorAm FF C/GC/G
If you faced it you wouldn't need a mask
(C/BC/B) A minorAm FF C/GC/G
If you meant it you wouldn't need a mask
(C/BC/B) A minorAm FF C/GC/G
If I could fix you you wouldn't have to ask
(C/BC/B) A minorAm FF C/GC/G
BB C majorC D MajorD FF G+G
If I could help you you wouldn't have to ask
The last chord progression can be in open or barre chords, depending on your preference.
