Salem Acoustic chords by Lillian Hahn

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Am
The people are sitting
DM
They keep only staring
G                              C          Em
Trusting these girls who win simply by glaring
Am
They sit there like royals
Dm
Screaming and crying
G
Letting on that they’re bleeding
C                        Em
Telling us that they’re dying

Pre-Chorus:
Am
They try and they die
Dm
The only way to survive
G                           C           Em
Is to lie until you can’t find where to hide
Am
You may have one ally
Dm
But even as you cry
G                        C      Em
they refuse to look you in the eyes

Chorus:
Am                                  Dm
They plead and they plead and they don’t even bleed
G                        C      Em
Are you the witch or is it only me
Am
no one knows who to trust
Dm
No one feels any love
        G                   C
God is dead in this town
Em            Am
This town of salem

Am  Dm  G  C  Em

Verse 2:
Am
Seven wear the crown
Dm
They think they’re saving heaven
G
But I'm not a witch
     C     Em
I’m only eleven
Am
I just spoke my mind
Dm
Why am I being tried
G
No one listens
           C               Em
They only care about my “crimes”


Pre-chorus:
Am
I could lie to survive
DM
I can’t look them in the eyes
G
They’ll scream if i do
    C       Em
So why even try
Am
God please let me win
Dm
I’m not guilty of sin
     G                    C          Em
I danced in no woods and held up my chin

Chorus:
Am                         Dm
I plead and I plead and I can’t even bleed
G                   C     Em
Are you the witch, no its me
Am
No one can trust
Dm
I dont feels any love
         G                  C
God is dead in this town
Em             Am
This town of salem

Am  Dm  G  C  Em
