One of my favorite songs ever by probably my favorite band. I figured it out on piano
then transcribed it to guitar but I might need a little correcting or i could at least use
some ideas of how to make it better so comment please!
Capo on 3rd
Not sure of either of these D chords, whether they should be a little "special" or both
just a regular D chord
D-alt D
e|----2---------2-----------------------------|
B|----x---------3-----------------------------|
G|----2---------2-or-x-? i need opinions------|
D|----0---------0-----------------------------|
A|----0---------0-----------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
You might also want to mute the high e throughout the song, personal preference tho
G D-alt
The air begins to feel a little thin
D A
As I start the car and then I begin
G D-alt
To add the miles piled up behind me
D A
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
G D-alt
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
D A
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
G D-alt
But then I remember when you packed my car
D A
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart
G D-alt D A
For me to drive away with
G D-alt D
I began to understand
Why[A] God died[G]
G D-alt D A
(2x)
G D-alt
The demons sat there waiting on her porch
D A
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
G D-alt
And when my car was far out of sight
D A
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
And then I [G]felt chills in my bones
D-alt
The breath I saw was not my own
D
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
Wasn't m[A]ade to play this game
And then I s[G]aw Him, torch in hand
D-alt
He laid it out, what he had planned
D
And then I said, I'll take the grave
Please, just s[A]end them all my way
(2x)
G D-alt D A
G D-alt D
I began to understand
Wh[A]y God died
G D-alt D A
(2x)
G D-alt
The air begins to feel a little thin
D A
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
G D-alt
But for now you told me to hold this jar
D
And when I looked inside, I saw
It held y[A]our heart
G D-alt D A
For me to walk away with
G D-alt D
I began to understand
Wh[A]y God died
[G] [D]
