Chords with lyrics
"Repetition" by Purity Ring
from "Another Eternity"
tab by aerothopter
I just mostly figured this out. There are a couple quick chord changes
or subtleties in the later verses and choruses, but this sounds just fine.
I like to strum once then palm mute--this is a pretty minimal arrangement.
This is in the original key. I play this with a capo on 3,
which lets me play the G minorGm like this: 022003 or 022033

I can feel your knees sinking into the bed

There?s a wake of grace, hunting your soreness down

There's a light in my skin that's been dimmed
[Verse 4]

I'mma dig you up and give you what I took
