Chords with lyrics

Intro:
D MajorD G+G

Verse 1:
     D MajorD           G+G D MajorD
There's a truth I need to trust
      G+G          D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
But I can't remember how
   D MajorD         G+G     D MajorD
It's stuck there in the stillness
         G+G         D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
But the noise is too damn loud
   G+G     D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
And I thought I was an actor
  G+G   D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
I'd let my colors show
  D MajorD             G+G
But what if I'm just a bastard
    D MajorD     G+G
Laying low inside your radio

D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G

Verse 2:
     D MajorD          G+G D MajorD
Won't you help me make a fist
        G+G  D MajorD    G+G D MajorD
And choke the poison back
G+G        D MajorD      G+G    D MajorD
We'll close our eyes each godforsaken time
     G+G      D MajorD   G+G D MajorD G+G
The world gets painted black
     G+G   D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
And we'll wonder where it comes from
    G+G     D/F#D/F#    E minorEm
How the pain cuts through the pride
     D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD
When the tools we use to fix ourselves
          G+G        D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Are just the fools we stood beside

Chorus:
  G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
But love is not an answer
  G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Oh, I don't need an answer
    D MajorD  G+G D MajorD G+G
I need you

Verse 3:
 D MajorD            G+G D MajorD
Devotion strong but tender
     G+G    D MajorD    G+G D MajorD G+G
Devotion dark and cold
 D MajorD       G+G     D MajorD
Devotion like an anchor
     G+G    D MajorD     G+G D MajorD G+G
Swinging from my soul
 G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
I used to weigh the distance
 G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
I used to miss my cues
 D MajorD           G+G D MajorD
I used to say I love you
        G+G      D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Then wonder who I'm talking to

{Chorus]
  G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
But love is not an answer
  G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Oh, I don't need an answer
    D MajorD  G+G D MajorD G+G
I need you

Verse 4:
  D MajorD             G+G D MajorD
So bring my all your questions
     G+G    D MajorD     G+G D MajorD G+G
Bring me all your doubts
   D MajorD           G+G D MajorD
Don't let me meet the devil
      G+G      D MajorD  G+G D MajorD G+G
That I sang those songs about
     G+G     D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
Cause the hounds of youth are howling
      G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
And you're all I've got to trust
   D MajorD            G+G D MajorD
With heaven's lonely ghetto
        G+G    D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
Up there crying down on us

Chorus:
  G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
But love is not an answer
  G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Oh, I don't need an answer
    D MajorD  G+G D MajorD G+G
I need you

   G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Yeah, love is not an answer
  G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Oh, love is not an answer
  G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Oh, I don't need an answer
    D MajorD  G+G D MajorD G+G
I need you
    D MajorD  G+G D MajorD G+G
I need you
