[Verse 1]
D         D/B    D       D/B     D  D/B  D D
All of my heroes sit up straight
     G            D
They stare at the ground
     G      D  D/B  D D
They radiate
        D               D/B             D            D/B  D  D/B  D D
Me, I'm mumbling in the kitchen for the sun to pay up
 Bm         A         G            D  D/B  D
Lonely is a ring on a cold coffee cup
 
 
[Chorus]
    G         D    D/B   D
I'm some sick hound
 G           Bm
Digging for bones
       A                               G       D  D/B  D  D/B  D  D/B  D D
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone
 
 
[Verse 2]
    D              D/B       D           D/B     D  D/B  D D
My hands they were strangers lost in the night
         G        D          G        D  D/B  D
They're waving around in the dusty light
    D              D/B             D        D/B    D  D/B  D D
I'm waiting in the wings while the trees undress
Bm         A               G         D  D/B  D
Cupping my ear to hear the wind confess
 
 
[Chorus]
       G            D  D/B  D
I'm a ghost in the garden
 G           Bm
Scaring the crows
       A                               G       D  D/B  D  D/B  D  D/B  D D
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone
 
 
[Bridge]
    A                        G              D
I'm running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind
      Bm
Oh my heart was all black
      G              D
But I saw something shine
              A                      G             D
Thought that part was yours, but it might just be mine
         Bm                        D
I could share it with you, if you gave me the time
 
 
[Chorus]
    G           D  D/B  D  G           Bm
I'm all bloody knuckles, longing for home
       A                               G         D  D  G  G  Bm  A  D  D
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

[Outro]
       G                 D  G  D
I'm a shot through the dark
      G          Bm
I'm a black sinkhole
       A                               G         D  D/B  D  D/B  D  D/B  D
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

Sounds perfect! Maybe I'm a noob but the open E plus capo on the remaining strings is a really simple but extremely effective little trick!
