This is an easy song to play, just listen to it to get the rhythm or play it however you
want around these chords! Pretty sure they're all correct :)
I think the chorus sounds better with a D/F# rather than just a D but either makes sense
and D is a litter easier to play.
Intro:
Em C D
Ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
Em C D
ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
Verse 1:
C
Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
Em D
You'll drink yourself to death
C
Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it
Em D
What will you have left?
C
Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
Em D
You won't remember this

Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears

You feel it in your chest

Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you

Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace

So take another breath

Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you

Bridge:
C D
Put up your defences when you leave
Em G
You leave because you're certain

Of who you want to be

You're putting up your armour when you leave

And you leave because you're certain
C D
Of who you want to be, ohhh
