D Am Am Em D Am Am Em
 
        D                Am
The lights go out and I can't be saved
Am                    Em
Tides that I tried to swim against
     D                Am
Have brought me down upon my knees
Am          Em
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing.
 
D               Am
Come out of the things unsaid
Am             Em
Shoot an apple off my head and a
D             Am
Trouble that can't be named
Am             Em
Tigers waiting to be tamed, singing
 
D Am Em  D Am Em
You are, you are
 
repeat the chords D Am Am Em
 
Confusion that never stops
The closing walls and the ticking clocks gonna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know, singing
 
Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities am I
A part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing
 
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
 
F               C      Em
And nothing else compares
F               C      Em
And nothing else compares
F               C      Em  F
And nothing else compares

I've been messing around and playing this with Em instead of G and I personally feel that it sounds a little better. The transition from G to D is easy and it sounds maybe a tad better, but overall I personally like Em a bit better.Intro is fantastic though so 5/5, but anyone playing can try both and see what they think. Double posted sorry

this is fantastic and deserves way more attention!! great job.

absolutely beautiful, great job!!!
