Chords with lyrics
Hey! This is the proper way to play this song acoustically if you want to know how!
This is what Adam Arkell, Or Matt Lean would play, depending when you got into the band.
Tuning is EBEADD or I find its safer to tune to DADGCC and capo the 2nd fret
Okay this song is basically a bunch of power chords with the GCC ringing out.
The strumming pattern is DUUDUU Striking the power chord on the downward stroke and just
mainly hitting the GCC on the up.
I took the placement of the chords from the unregistered chords that someone already put
to save time, so thanks to him/her!
Whose version works just I'm doing some fine tuning!
Everything is relative to the capo
(The chords in brackets are just the chords if you do not want to tune to the funky tuning)
A5(A augmentedA) - 555000
B5(B minorBm) - 777000
E5(E minorEm) - 000000
G5(G+G) - 333000
-Intro- A5A5
-Verse-
E5E5
These mountains I've been climbing,
G5G5
They were mole hills all along.
B5B5
And my lack of perfect timing,
A5A5
Punched a hole right through this song.
E5E5
And the point that I was making,
G5G5
Was a weak one at its best.
B5B5
And my heart's excessive pounding,
A5A5
Punched a hole right through my chest.
G5G5 (Ring out)
And this is where I fall.
E5E5
And these nails they pierce right through me,
G5G5
But I dont know what this means.
B5B5
And this weight upon my shoulders,
A5A5
Makes me fall down to my knees.
E5E5
And I'm praying to this silence,
G5G5
But I dont know who can hear.
B5B5
And these waves of fake religion,
A augmentedA
They all echo in my ears.
G5G5 (Ring out)
And this is where I fall.
-Chorus-
A5A5
And this blood bleeds through my eyes.
A5A5
And this sin crawls through my veins.
B5B5
And the air is hot, And my skin peels off,
A5A5
And I never thought that I'd be the one,
A5A5
Crying, crying, yeah!
(If playing this acoustically it best to palm mute this part)
G5G5
The perfect place for me to fall,
A5A5
Is at your feet 'cause this is all that I can
(No longer palm muting but downward strokes only)
G5G5
Offer you, to honour you,
A5A5
'Cause who I am is what you do.
(Back to strumming pattern)
E5E5
And the perfect place for me to fall,
G5G5
Is at your feet 'cause this is all
B5B5
That I can offer you, to honour you
A augmentedA
'Cause who I am is what you do.
-Chorus-
A5A5
And this blood bleeds through my eyes.
A5A5
And this sin crawls through my veins.
B5B5
And the air is hot, And my skin peels off,
A5A5
And I never thought that I'd be the one,
A5A5
Crying, crying, yeah!
G+G (Ring out)
