This one's track no. 1 off the latest record "Devour".It gets pretty heavy in the
last chorus but you can
still play it as an acoustic version as well.
Only the strumming changes for that last chorus. As for the Am Intro
(which is the same as the Am in the verse), you gotta find a variation if
you really want it to sound like the original(releasing the D string works for me).
If you have other suggestions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment :-)

Intro:
Am (variation)

Verse:
[Am]Welcome my friends to the show
Dance and dr[C]ink if you'd like or sit b[G]ack and take notes
It's a f[Am]ine night to test what you know
Who you f[C]ear who you love and who you c[G]ling to for hope
[F]ooooooh ooooo[G]oooh
[F]ooooooh ooooo[G]oooh

[Am]There's strange stifling smell in the air
Cigarette sm[C]oke, perfume and a t[G]inge of despair
[Am]I guess we should all get prepared
Load your g[C]uns, take your pills and start sa[G]ying your prayers
[F]Say your pra[G]yers
[F]Say your pra[G]yers

I pr[C]omised that this wouldn't happen to me
I've got sc[Em]ales gr[F]ow over my eye[G]s and I[E] can't s[Am]ee

Verse:

If I fa[Am]lter as this moves along
Don't you s[C]top me to ask if there's a[G]nything wrong
Your b[Am]est bet's to just move along
Throw my bo[C]nes in the river and w[G]rite me a song
[F]Sing these s[G]ongs
[F]Sing these s[G]ongs
