This is mostly a chord diagram. You should embellish the melodic licks yourself. It's more fun that way!

You were not the first I've seen Gettin' eaten from within Being what you do It's easy enough to lose a step or two Dodging bullets while building a truce Don't beat yourself up about it What you lost you can't get back A little perspective right here in this track I've seen children get sold for silver (Repeat Chorus over these) I could hold you back But I won't treat you so I don't think you're crazy And I won't let you go I'll be the someone you can hold onto But I won't be somebody holding onto you Weighing you down (No, no, no, no, no) (Switch to tremolo style strumming here)
BmDon't have the courage to ATake another step let alone two
G2I'll fall into the big black sea BmSure you can if I can soak in you
ALean on me I will be there G2And it's blue can't you see A/G
(Repeat Chorus) I won't let you go And I won't hold you back I'll walk the whole mile with you Watching your back Never ever let you go And never hold you back I'll be forever someone you can trust Some things to note: Bernhoft's guitar has two bass strings on it. In order to emulate the deep bass noise in his bass walks, I recommend playing the bass notes using pizzicato. Bernhoft uses a looper to make the 2nd and 3rd verses have some amount of percussion. Feel free to add your own texture there. The bass lick that he uses to fill between verses changes as the song progresses. It always resolves to a B/D chord, so just make sure whatever bass lick you use resolves to that. Here is the reference I used for this tab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxIiQzp0E-Q Enjoy!
