Collide Chords

Hey guys! these are the chords for James Bay's "Collide", and they're specifically for people
who aren't as comfortable/familiar with tabs, as the original song is most definitely played
and written down using tabs. Just use it as you will, and play it by ear, and most
importantly, have fun! - Katie
 
If you want easier chords, transpose down 3 steps and put a capo on the third fret.
Your new chords should be A5, D, G, F, and E.
Note: (**) strum twice
 
[Intro]
C5 **
 
[Verse 1]
                           C5 **
 I know I'll do it again
                            F **
I know we're gonna collide
                             F **
I know we'll call it the end
                             C5 **
But it's always always a lie
                                    C5 **
You wear your heart on your sleeve
                           F **
I wear my blood on my tie
                              F **
But it's only love underneath, this disguise
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       C5 **           C5 **
Oh you left, a hole in me
         F **     F **
I don't cut, easily
          C5 **                 C5 **
I'm only just holding up, on my knees
             F **                           F **
I think it's time to open up, I don't mean bleed
           G#
So turn it on, we can go wild
                  G
If it's what you want, fire at me
 
 
[Chorus]
C5     A#    F                   C5
I ---- can't bear to let you go
        A#  F
So keep on  throwing your sticks and stones
             C5                A#                G#            F
I'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life
C5     A#    F                             C5 **
I ---- can't bear to let, bear to let you go
 
 
[Verse 2]
                          C5 **
Why don't we do it again?
                              F **
Go wrecking something of mine
                             F **
Like you deserve the revenge
                                C5 **
Like I've got something to hide
                            C5 **
I keep on playing with you
                             F **
You keep on calling me names
                          F **
Sure I can take the abuse
 
It's just a game
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        C5 **          C5 **
Oh you left, a hole in me
        F **     F **
I don't cut, easily
          C5 **                  C5 **
I'm only just holding up, on my knees
              F **                          F **
I think it's time to open up, I don't mean bleed
            G#5
So turn it on, we can go wild
                  G5
If it's what you want, fire at me
 
 
[Chorus]
C5    A#    F                  C5
I --- can't bear to let you go
        A#   F
So keep on  throwing your sticks and stones
           C5                  A#                G#             F
I'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life
C5    A#    F                            F
I --- can't bear to let, bear to let you go
 
 
[Bridge]
C5                           A#
All I know is I love it when, she blows
 
We keep turning red
F
Hot, stone cold, she burn inside
G#                                   A#
Deals get broke we fold in and fold out, we're too close
                     F
It's dead love until curtains close
 
And we come alive
 
 
[Chorus] First four lines the chords are played on the offbeat!
    C5         A#            F       F
I ---- can't ---- bear to let you go
    C5      A#               F
So keep on -- throwing your sticks and stones
     F          C5                        A#             G#          F
I'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life
    C5       A#   N.C.
I  --- can't ---- bear to let, bear to let, no
 
C5     A#   F                  C5
I --- can't bear to let you go
        A#   F
So keep on  throwing your sticks and stones
           C5                 A#                G#             F
I'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life

I--- can't bear to let, bear to let you go
