The Courage Or The Fall Acoustic chords by Civil Twilight

Chords with lyrics

I'm a beginner so this was all I could do and any corrections are welcome!

No capo needed. Simplest way for me strumming wise was to hook my thumb over 6th string
for open F#F# and open F.
A(O) is just A(open string). Song in 3/4 time .


Intro |: A(open string) A minorAm | F#(open) A minorAm | F(open) A minorAm :|

Verse 1:

A(open)Am F#(open) A minorAm  F(open) A minorAm
Man wasn't made to live alone
A(open)Am  F#(open)Am F(open) A minorAm
That's why I have my enemies
A(open)Am  F#(open)Am
The moment I close my
F#(open)Am  C(open)Am A(open)Am
eyes they're all I can see.


Verse 2:

A(O)Am F#(open)Am  F(open)Am
Every man needs his savior
A(O)Am F#(open)Am    F(open)Am
Every savior needs his task
A(O)Am      F#(open)Am
But which one am I,
        F(open)Am
the man or the one
C(open)Am A(open)Am
behind the mask?
C(open)Am A(open)Am C(open)Am   A(open)Am
What comes first? The courage or the fall?

Verse 3:

A(open)Am F#(open) A minorAm    F(open) A minorAm
Is that a saviour outside my window?
A(open)Am F#(open) A minorAm   F(open) A minorAm||
Or is that a reflection of me?
