[Intro]
Cmaj7  Em  x2
 
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7     Em     Cmaj7      Em
She's the angel on top of the tree
Cmaj7       Em              Am
Sugar-heart here she comes, she's going to fall on me
Cmaj7     Em           Cmaj7       Em
Innocence was our fire, we told the truth
Cmaj7        Em              Am
I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth
 
[Chorus]
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you...
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you...
 
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7         Em      Cmaj7      Em
They will make you so, so cynical
Cmaj7        Em            Am
The fire burns the flesh, destroys the best in me that's old
Cmaj7           Em            Cmaj7        Em
She's the grace of this world, she's too pure
Cmaj7       Em                   Am
For the likes of this world, this world is a whore
 
[Chorus]
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you...
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Am                C
Tear the petals off of you...
 
[Bridge]
Em  Am
Ah, it's all mine
Em   Am
Hey, it's all mine and
Em    Am
Help, it's all mine, I
C              Em
Never knew what I could be
C                  Em         Fm                 A5
All the darling buds of May, they fall with no sound
C              E     Fm               A
They carry you down, they carry you down
  A5    Fm     Fm   A5
..ooooooo....ooooooo..
 
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7             Em                 Cmaj7              Em
All the lilies bloomed and blossomed, wilted and they're shivering
Cmaj7             Em          Am
I can't stop their withering, oh this world is a war
 
[Chorus]
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you...
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you...
 
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Am                C         Em
Tear the petals off of you...

What is the strumming pattern

Cool! A suggestion might be, in the verse try Asus2 for 2 bars on "goin' (to fall one me)" and again on "summer (of their youth). As well as in the corresponding sections in verse 2. The bridge could be C, E, F, Am C, E, F, Am Am, F, F, Am Thanks :)
