Chords with lyrics
This tab is far from perfect, but I think it's good enough. Maybe someone else will see
it and use it as a template to make a better one. But this is one of my favorite songs, so I
thought I'd post it. I have no idea what's going on during the solos, so have fun with that.
Please leave comments/corrections at the bottom! Thanks!
D MajorD
Oh, these mountains make me crazy
F# minorF#m
My legs can?t seem to stand
B minorBm G+G
And I?ll be leaving in the morning with or without you she said
D MajorD
If I?m breaking what I?m building
F# minorF#m
I?ve ripped out every single stone
B minorBm G+G
And you can break my soul or bones girl but you can?t destroy my home
E minorEm
No you can't destroy my home
D MajorD
If these street lights they all flicker
F# minorF#m
Just like candles in the street
B minorBm G+G
I will give my soul to strangers and let the bastards sell it cheap
D MajorD
I've seen girls out on the street lord
F# minorF#m
Men drunk on the boulevard
B minorBm G+G
The kings all know my face lord and the jokers pulled my card
E minorEm
Oh, the jokers pulled my card
B minorBm D MajorD
They say that that doesn?t kill you makes you stronger
B minorBm F# minorF#m
I should be pretty strong or so it seems
G+G E minorEm
Cause I almost died a thousand times
D MajorD B minorBm
Oh, death it follows me
A augmentedA
I guess that?s what separates us gods from kings
D MajorD
We will plant our dead in boxes
F# minorF#m
And pray to god that something grows
B minorBm
Leave the widow on her knees
G+G
Boys dressed in black with empty hopes
D MajorD
The children?s screams are crazy
F# minorF#m
Their eyes are blacked out from the smoke
B minorBm G+G
I can spare my bread and water, but I cannot spare my coat
E minorEm
No I cannot spare my coat
D MajorD
Don?t damn my imagination
F# minorF#m
Cause my dreams are all I have
B minorBm
In the day its damp and dirty
G+G
But when I sleep it?s not that bad
D MajorD
Dirty hands they cling to boxcars
F# minorF#m
Tender tears stain frozen cheeks
B minorBm G+G
We're all searching for salvation but we won?t find it in these streets
E minorEm
We won?t find it in these streets
B minorBm D MajorD
They say that that doesn?t kill you makes you stronger
B minorBm F# minorF#m
I should be pretty strong or so it seems
G+G E minorEm
Cause I almost died a thousand times
D MajorD B minorBm
Oh, death it follows me
A augmentedA
I guess that?s what separates us gods from kings
D MajorD
Everybody lives for something
F# minorF#m
Well I guess I must live to think
D MajorD
You can have my thoughts at half the cost
E minorEm
'Cause I think they?re killing me
D MajorD
Well the tree lines weave through fields
F# minorF#m
Giant serpents of the south
D MajorD E minorEm
I?ve seen the sun set on the ocean I?ve seen the daylight drown itself
D MajorD
Poets drink their whiskey
F# minorF#m
They point out problems in our lives
B minorBm
Well you will will never read his notebooks
G+G
He wont be famous till he dies
D MajorD
Well without our hearts were nothing
F# minorF#m
And without our spines were weak
B minorBm G+G
Well you can pump my blood or hold me up but that still won't make me free
E minorEm
No that still won?t make me free
D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD
