Bm
Clean
Bm
The cleanest I've been
Bm
An end to the tears
Bm
And the in-between years
                 Em         D
And the troubles I've seen
 
D            Bm
Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
               Em       D
I've changed my routine
         Bm
Now I'm clean
 
A
I don't understand
     G
What destiny's planned
    Bm
I'm starting to grasp
        G
What is in my own hands
 
A
I don't claim to know
         G
Where my holiness goes
       Bm
I just know that I like
        G
What is starting to show
 
C
Sometimes
 
Bm

Now that I'm clean

You know what I mean

I've broken my fall
Bm
Put an end to it all
               Em       D
I've changed my routine
         Bm
Now I'm clean
 
A
As years go by
         G
All the feelings inside
Bm
Twist and they turn
        G
As they ride with the tide
A
I don't advise
        G
And I don't criticise
        Bm
I just know I what I like
        G
With my own eyes
 
C
Sometimes

Great tabs! In the Em parts, instead of the base string, you can play and hammer the 4th string on the second fret as in the original version.

If you don't mind, gonna apply these chords to a "clean" and "dirty" version 🤘 While I know Martin does the lyrics, always found it ironic Dave singing this knowing what was coming down the line. Beautiful version and thanks!
