    Em6 

This is how Eef plays it live. The Em6 chord may not be the exact chord he is playing, 
but that's what it looks like and it sounds right enough if you play along with a  
live video. 

G          D              G 
I wouldn't die for your sins 
                 D             C 
'cause what if I lose and you win? 
G                 D               C        Em6 
Our friendship is all that we have in the end 
G               D              G 
But I wouldn't die for your sins 


G              D                 G 
And I love you with all that I can 
               D                  C 
And bleed from the palm of my hands 
G               D         C            Em6 
I'll see you in heaven if we both get in, 
G               D              G 
'cause I wouldn't die for your sins 
G               D              G 
No I wouldn't die for your sins. 

G                   D            G 
And the truth isn't so hard to see. 
             D              C 
Come to me I'll set you free 
G               D         C           Em6 
My brothers and sisters, I'll let you in 
G               D              G 
But I wouldn't die for your sins 
G               D              G 
No I wouldn't die for your sins.
