Contradiction Acoustic chords by Sonic Syndicate

Guitar chords with lyrics

Contradiction Acoustic version by Sonic Syndicate
Based mostly on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV0egUpvf5E << this video
I tabbed most of this by ear and by watching how Roland and Robin play, but as you can see from the video,
Robin's guitar is the one mostly in view, so this will be mostly based on what he's playing.
Suggestions are welcome, leave corrections in the comments. Enjoy. :)

Verse 1: (picking)


Em7                A7sus4                 Cadd9
  I used to be someone, but I grew to be something that I'm not
Em7                 A7sus4            Cadd9
  It feels like I'm cornered, by everything that you really want
Em7              A7sus4       Cadd9
  Why are we here in this same old room

Chorus 1:

G              D
  We stand here
                  Cadd9
  With damaged hope
                     D   G
  But still we carry o-on
             D
  We both know
                Cadd9
  And always will
                     D     G
  It cannot end like thi-is
                   D
  We still have a long way to go

Verse 2: (strumming)

Em7
   It is kind of hard
  D               Cadd9               D
   To look back on all the good times
    Em7                       D
   And realize nothing will ever be
 Cadd9                           Em7
   Like it used to be (used to be)
                                  D          Cadd9
   I wish you were someone I can only disengage

   You opened a lot of doors in me
             D           Em7
   But just closed a few

   You're both the poison and the anti-
         D                     Cadd9  D
   Is my best, not enough, for you

Chorus 2:

G              D
  We stand here
                   Cadd9
  With damaged hope
                     D   G
  But still we carry o-on
             D
  We both know
                Cadd9
  And always will
                     D     G
  It cannot end like thi-is
                   D
  We still have a long way to go


Solo (Robin's bit):

Em7  Cadd9  G  D 2x


Chorus 3:

G              D
  We stand here
                   Cadd9
  With damaged hope
                     D   G
  But still we carry o-on
             D
  We both know
                Cadd9
  And always will
                     D     G
  It cannot end like thi-is
               D
  We stand here
                   Cadd9
  With damaged hope
                     D   G
  But still we carry o-on
             D
  We both know
                Cadd9
  And always will
                     D     G
  It cannot end like thi-is
                   D          Cadd9 *Once (end note)
  We still have a long way to go
