I tabbed this song using parts of other tabs and by ear to make it playable on an
acoustic guitar and also standard tuning, I'm pretty sure everything is Correct. Please leave
comments and suggestions.
Tuning: Standard
Intro:
[Dm] [C]
[Bb] [Am] [Dm]
Verse 1
[Dm] [C] [Dm]
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I will not be Your chosen one
[Bb] [Dm]
I'll be home safely tucked away
You can't tempt me if...the day
[Dm] [C]
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
It stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
[Bb] [Dm]
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
Cause when I open my body I breathe alive
Repeat Intro
Verse
I will not [Bb]speak [Dm]ooo[C]oo[Dm]oof [C]your [Dm]sin
There was a[Bb] way[Dm] oo[C]oo[Dm]oout[C] for[Dm] him
The mirror [Bb]sho[Dm]ooo[C]oo[Dm]ooo[C]ws [Dm]not
Your values[Bb] ar[Dm]eee[C]ee[Dm]eee [C]all[Dm] shot
Bridge:
But [C]oh, [Dm]my [C]heart [Dm]was [C]flawed [F]I [Dm]knew my [C]wea[Bb]kness
So [C]hold [Dm]my [C]hand [Dm]cons[C]ign [F]me [Dm]not [C]to [Bb]darkness.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [Am]

Verse 2: Strum
[Dm]Crawl on my [C]belly till the [F]sun [A11]goes [Dm]down
Dm C F All Dm
I'll never wear your bro-ken crown
Bb Dm X2
I took the road and I fucked it all away.
Now [Bb]in this twilight how dare you speak of [Dm]grace.
Instrumental:

[Bb] [C] [Dm] [F] [C] [Dm]
Outro
[Dm] [C] [Dm]
So, crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I?ll never wear your broken crown
[Bb] [Dm]
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away.
But in this twilight our choices seal our fate
