Capo 4, in C Major, 3/4 straight strum. Enjoy!
*A new note - for the F, it sounds even better if you play the A string open, and hit it on the initial
downbeat. All you're doing is moving the middle and ring finger up one string each from the C.
 
Really he plays it with capo 2, D and G shapes, etc, with a partial capo so that the low E string can
be played to go along with the D capoed at 2 = E.
 
 
[Intro]
C  F  C  F  C  F  C  C  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
C         F      C        F     C  F  C
All of my heroes sit up straight
     F            C
They stare at the ground
     F      C  F  C
They radiate
        C               F               C            F  C  F  C
Me, I'm mumbling in the kitchen for the sun to pay up
 Am         G         F            C  F  C
Lonely is a ring on a cold coffee cup
 
 
[Chorus]
    F         C    F   C
I'm some sick hound
 F           Am
Digging for bones
       G                               F       C  F  C  F  C  F  C
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone
 
 
[Verse 2]
    C               F        C            F  C  F  C
My hands they were strangers lost in the night
         F        C          F        C  F  C
They're waving around in the dusty light
     C              F               C        F    C  F  C
I'm waiting in the wings while the trees undress
 Am         G               F         C  F  C
Cupping my ear to hear the wind confess
 
 
[Chorus]
       F            C  F  C
I'm a ghost in the garden
 F           Am
Scaring the crows
        G                               F       C  F  C  F  C  F  C
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone
 
 
[Bridge]
    G                        F              C
I'm running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind
      Am
Oh my heart was all black
      F              C
But I saw something shine
              G                      F             C
Thought that part was yours, but it might just be mine
         Am                        C
I could share it with you, if you gave me the time
 
 
[Chorus]
    F           C  F  C  F           Am
I'm all bloody knuckles, longing for home
       G                               F         C  C  F  F  Am  G  C  C
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

[Outro]
       F                 C  F  C
I'm a shot through the dark
      F          Am
I'm a black sinkhole
       G                               F         C  F  C  F  C  F  C
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone
