This is for capo on 5, transposing to no capo sounds good too especially if your set up doesn't have much
natural sustain with capo on 5. Though you'll have to work out the changes with the chords that don't format
here.
She seems to use the lyric "*would* not atone" live.

[Verse 1]
EmYou were alone and you were alive
Among the walkin' dead
He was a liar, could not atone
Still he went to your head
[Chorus]
He said, "Bm11I love you Am11baby like a Bm11miner loves Am11gold
Bm11 And this will Am11never grow Bm11old"
[Verse 2]
EmLost in the ether, down in the blind
And not a word was said
But he was neither vicious or kind
As he lay there and E5bled
[Break]

[Pre Chorus]
Bm11His hands were Am11on you and it Bm11felt just the Am11same
Bm11 As when he Am11didn't know your Bm11name
[Chorus]
He said, "Bm11I love you Am11baby like a Bm11man who loves Am11gold
Bm11 And this will Am11never grow Bm11old"
[Verse 3]
EmDarkness will cover you
A church in ruins
There's nothing left to feel
Goodbye lover, this is your doing
A heart against the E5wheel
