Verse 1: (picked)
          E minorEm   C majorC     G+G
I thought I saw the devil, this morning
E minorEm C majorC  G+G
Looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue
E minorEm C majorC    G+G         E minorEm C majorC   G+G
  With the warning to help me see myself clearer
A minorAm            G+G

I never meant to make you bleed,
I'll be a better man today

Grace is just weakness
   E minorEm  C majorC  G+G
Or so I've been told.
     E minorEm     C majorC      G+G
I've been cold, I've been merciless
    A minorAm               G+G

Maybe I'm waking up today

For all of the bruises that I've caused and the tears

For all of the perfect things that I doubt
