I've put the basic chords here but if you find this difficult or annoying you can just
transpose it down half a step and put a Capo on 1
This means that with Capo 1:
D# D
Ab G
Fm Em
A# A
It's much easier to play this way
INTRO:
[D#] [-] [Ab]
VERSE ONE:
[D#] Stale [Ab]sweat and cinnam[D#]on
I guess she[Ab] is frightened most of[D#] all
[Ab] Loves to fly but she's [D#]scared to fall[Ab]
VERSE TWO:
[D#] She's got [Ab]scars on the out[D#]side
Says they're the [Ab]worst kind
And I don't[D#] ask
She turns the [Ab]lights out and locks the [D#]door[Ab]
CHORUS/HOOK:
[Fm] If this is [Ab]fate count me [D#]out[Ab]
And never [Fm]try
Please [Ab]never try to hold her d[D#]own[Ab]
THIRD AND FOURTH VERSES ARE THE SAME AS FIRST AND SECOND
VERSE THREE:
Broken home
Broken bones
She never told anyone but me
And everything seemed make believe
VERSE FOUR:
We both ran
You can't ever catch horizon
Guess that's why we've both been riding so damn long
She says she thinks of me as home
CHORUS/HOOK:
[Fm] If this is [Ab]fate count me [D#]out[Ab]
And never [Fm]try
Please [Ab]never try to hold her d[D#]own[Ab]
BRIDGE:
[A#] Hands on hips and[Ab] lips to lips
I don't know[A#] how much someone could take from [Ab] her
[A#] Fourth of July
[Ab] Watch the night sky
I'm [A#]wondering why the [Ab]truth ain't so easy this time
D# - Ab to finish
