NOTE: Since Eve 6 only uses one guitar, the guitar plays the following lead riffs for
entire song. I have, however, provided the chords along with the lyrics for reference,
you want to play it acoustic by yourself.

Chords:
C#m: x46654
E: x79997

[Also, if you want the bassline, it's entirely root notes of the chords.
C# minorC#m = 4th fret A-string (actually 2nd fret low B-string; it's recorded on a 5-string,
most people don't have one.)
E MajorE = open E-string
A augmentedA = open A-string
