These are the chords without a capo. The key is E major. The riff is pretty simple and
are plenty of good tabs on this site with an accurate tab of it so check them out.
are the chords with lyrics.
Verse 1:
It's empty in the vC#malley of your hEeart
The sun, it rises sC#mlowly as you waElk
Away from all the fC#mears and all the Efaults you've Bleft behEind
Verse 2 (repeat verse chords):
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same, I know the shame in your defeat
Chorus 1:
But EI will hAold on hEope
And EI won't Alet you Echoke
AOn the Enoose arBound your neck
And IC#m'll find strAength in pEain
And C#mI will chAange my wEays
I'll knAow my naEme as it's calBled again
(Instrumental interlude = Verse chords)
Verse 3:
Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
Verse 4:
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
Chorus 2:
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
Verse 5:
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
Pre-Chorus: (same as chorus chords)
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
Bridge (I have given the length of each chord in this part because there are no lyrics):
E // A / E /
E // A / E / A / E / B //
(Repeat Once)
Chorus 3:
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
A E B E////
I'll know my name as it's called again.
Note: The final chorus is the same just the melody changes slightly when he goes "And I
change my ways" etc. The chords are identical but end on E since this is the tonic chord.
