Chords with lyrics
This song is great, and I'm so excited for the new album!
If you have any questions, email me at [email protected] because this tab may be slightly
inaccurate due to the fact that this song is so new. I also did this completely by ear, but I'm pretty
sure that it's correct. If you have any changes, I'll test them out and put them in.
NOTE: For the 
E MajorE in the chorus, I prefer doing a barred E MajorE rather than an open E MajorE because it sounds more
consistent to the song.
CHVRCHES - Leave a Trace
A augmentedA
I gave up on time
Just like you said you would
There are tiny cracks of light underneath me
F# minorF#m
And you say I got it wrong
A augmentedA
But I tried hard to uncover them
A augmentedA
I have somehow got
Away with everything
Anything you ever did was strictly by design
F# minorF#m
But you got it wrong
A augmentedA
And I'll go anywhere but there
E MajorE
And you had best believe
D MajorD
That you cannot build what I don't need
E MajorE D MajorD
And I know I need to feel relief
E MajorE
And I know you'll never fold
D MajorD
But I believe nothing that I'm told
E MajorE D MajorD
And I know I need to feel relief
E MajorE D MajorD
I know I need to feel released
E MajorE
Take care to tell it just how as it was
D MajorD
Take care to tell on me for the cause
E MajorE D MajorD
I know I need to feel released
E MajorE
Take care to bury all that you can
D MajorD
Take care to leave a trace of a man
A augmentedA
I will show restraint
Just like we said we should
You think I'll apologize for things I left behind
F# minorF#m
But you got it wrong
A augmentedA
And I'm as sane as I ever was
A augmentedA
You talk far too much
For someone so unkind
I will wipe the salt off of my skin
F# minorF#m
And I'll admit that I got it wrong
A augmentedA
And there is grey between the lines
E MajorE
And you had best believe
D MajorD
That you cannot build what I don't need
E MajorE D MajorD
And I know I need to feel relief
E MajorE
And I know you'll never fold
D MajorD
But I believe nothing that I'm told
E MajorE D MajorD
And I know I need to feel relief
E MajorE D MajorD
I know I need to feel released
E MajorE
Take care to tell it just how as it was
D MajorD
Take care to tell on me for the cause
E MajorE D MajorD
I know I need to feel released
E MajorE
Take care to bury all that you can
D MajorD
Take care to leave a trace of a man
