I'm an apple, you're the tree

I won't fall when you shook

It ends with the lights up
             C/G
Bathing our fear
            D
Tell me nonsense

I don't want to see
          C/G                       D                      Em
I saw the lightning cut through the last winter sky of the year

A change to lyrics: - "faulty" instead of "faulted" - "ribs in your chest" instead of "rips" - "and a smile and a sigh" instead of "a smile inside" - "when you're shook" instead of "when you shook" - "lights out, bathed in our fear" instead of "lights up, bathing ..." - "I don't want sincere" instead of "I don't want to see" Great chords, cheers

great tab. especially for your first. I just have one correction! At the end where it goes " it ends with a tear, it ends with the lights up" it's Em and then G instead of G and then Em. you just have to switch those chords :)

Great tab... one correction/remark. Tom Smith plays the chord that you call Em* as this 200230 (not 200200). So technically speaking it's an Dadd9/F# (or Dadd2/F#). Thanks for your tab... keep the good work up!
