Verse 1:
[Cm] She was tied up to the [Bb]tracks in the middle of th[Ab]e road, [Ab]clutching to the
[Ab] thorns of a rose that she [Ab]fought but she couldn't let [Gm]go, couldn't le[Bb]t go.
[Cm] Perched upon his [Bb]lung, she was tapping in hi[Ab]s chest, I'll be[Ab]
[Ab] hiding in the dreams of yo[Ab]ur last will and testament, [Gm] testament.[Bb]
Pre-Chorus:
(Straight quarter-note strumming.)
And if the [Ab]only way out was just a straight ahead admission of g[G]uilt, then he wouldn't be
Ab Gm (10th fret) Bb (13th fret, slide off)

[Eb] [Dm11](Picku[Cm]p measure before verse, don't do on last chorus).
Verse 2:
[(Cm)] Smothered by the [Bb]time he could never forg[Ab]et. [Ab] Disassoc-
[Ab] iation in the comfort of his [Ab]dreams that she wouldn't let[Gm] go, wouldn't let[Bb] go.
[Cm] And every time he [Bb]woke up in the coldest s[Ab]weat, [Ab] scrawled to the
[Ab] bone with her nails [Ab]was the promise that she wouldn't let [Gm]go, wouldn't let[Bb] go.
