Note: Thanks to youtube user madeindar for the chords. This isn't meant to match what
Dallas plays on the record, but I found these chords are good to use when you just want
to play the song in standard tuning. The switch from Em to Em9/D to Cmaj7 is pretty quick so
look out for that. Also, when playing the C, if you lift off your first finger after the
first measure it sounds a bit better.
(Verse 1)
EmYour words are Em9/Dlike kCmaj7nives
EmThey peel my skin Em9/Dand piCmaj7erce my soul
EmYour body will burn Cmaj7tonight
EmThough your heart may Em9/Dstill Cmaj7remain cold
(Chorus)
Em9/D* C
And I will blame myself
Em9/D* C
And I will blame myself
Em9/D* C
For holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side.
Em9/D* C
I will blame myself
