D - A - Em - F# - G x 3 (hold on last G leading to verse) 

Verso: 
G                                  D         A          G F# G 
Well these angels in my eardrums can't tell bad from good 

G                                  D         A          G 
I lived inside these melodies just to make sure I still could 

        D        A              Em F# G        
and I cried all night even though I'm grown 

        D        A              Em F# G 
said "Honey hold me tight, make me feel like home" 

        D        A              Em F# G 
Cause your love is bright enough to burn all night 

        D        A              Em (Hold) 
sometimes love is a losin' fight 



G                                               D 
You tried to keep going but the ride won't steady 

G                                          Bm - A 
You tried to get high but your heart's too heavy 
  
        Em              F#   G 
and you got one thing on your mind 


Verso: 
G                                  D         A          G F# G 
And now there's snake eyes on the sidewalk and fireworks overhead 

G                                  D         A          G 
Won't you roll out that red carpet when we all wind up dead? 

    D        A              Em F# G        
Hey smoke rings fade like a memory 

    D        A              Em F# G        
You're honest as a ghost honey twice as free 

    D        A              Em F# G        
You got faith enough to lift this curse 

    D        A              Em F# G        
What if faith is just a false god's verse? 

 
G                                               D 
You tried to keep going but the ride won't steady 

G                                          Bm - A 
You tried to get high but your heart's too heavy 

        Em             F#    G 
and you got one thing on your mind

G       D            A          G      (no lyrics) 


        D        A              Em F# G 
And now I'm pulling up devils from the long dark past 

        D        A              Em F# G 
And the pain starts piling up far too fast 

        D        A              Em F# G 
I can pin don't the minute when I lost my buzz 

        D        A              Em F# G 
I thought I was somebody nobody could love 

 
G                                               D 
You tried to keep going but the ride won't steady 

G                                          Bm - A 
You tried to get high but your heart's too heavy 

        Em              F#    G 
and you got one thing on your mind
