Chords with lyrics
Here's another Naive Thieves song, the second that I've tabbed (check out Anxiété).
Suggestion: Barr Chords for EVERYTHING. And you should probably play them high up on the guitar, like the C majorC on
the 8th fret E MajorE string instead of the 3rd fret A augmentedA string, and the G+G on the 1oth fret A augmentedA string instead of the
3rd fret E MajorE string, etc.
If you have any suggestions, corrections, or anything else, please leave a comment below :)

C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm
But I got shackled to the same old bull

Well I could never lie or fawn but every now and then I need the denouement.

C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm
leaving brittle bones to crumble in the morning light.
DmDm G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
But you won't get an ounce of sympathy from me.
Verse 4:
C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm
Cause I've been working at this all my life.
C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm
And after everything I've sacrificed,

I won't feel remorse for heresy.

C majorC G+G Bb majorBb FF
Well I could never lie or fawn but every now and then I need the denouement.
C majorC G+G Bb majorBb FF
And I can't sing that I'm unique, but all these hypocrites can just create debris and
C majorC G+G Bb majorBb FF
You celebrate 'em, and then you hate 'em, I wonder if it's even worth creating
