Note: Thanks for 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)
Am Am9/C Fmaj7
Your words are like knives
Am Am9/C Fmaj7
They peel my skin and pierce my soul
AmYour body will burn Fmaj7tonight
Am Am9/C Fmaj7
Though your heart may still remain cold
(Chorus)
Am9/C* F
And I will blame myself
Am9/C* F
And I will blame myself
Am9/C* F
For holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side.
Am9/C* F
I will blame myself
(Verse 2)
Am Am9/C Fmaj7
The sheets are stained with
Am Am9/C Fmaj7
Memories of your soft kiss
Am Am9/C Fmaj7
Now this is all I have
Am Am9/C Fmaj7
Paper and pen to remember you with
(Chorus)
Am9/C* F
And I will blame myself
Am9/C* F
And I will blame myself
Am9/C* F
For holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side.
Am9/C* F
I will blame myself
