[Intro]
 
   | Am | -  | F6 | -  |
   | G  | -  | F6 | -  |
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am                     F6
   Waking up is harder    than it seems
G                                         F6
   Wandering through these empty rooms of    dusty books and quiet dreams
Am                         F6
   Pictures on the mantle,    speak your name
G                                    F6
   Softly like forgotten tunes, just    outside the sound of pain
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Am                                   G/B
   Weren't we like a pair of thieves
C
   With tumbled locks and broken codes
Dm
   You cannot take that from me. My
E7
   small reprieves, your heart of gold
 
Am                               G/B
   Weren't we like a battlefield
C
   Locked inside a holy war
Dm
   You're loving my due diligence;
E7                                   Am
   The only thing worth fighting for
 
 
[Interlude]
 
   | Am | -  | F6 | -  |
   | G  | -  | F6 | -  |
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am                               F6
   Change will come to those who    have no fear
G                                  F6
   But I'm not her. You never were    the kind who kept a rulebook near
Am                       F6
   What I said was never    what I meant.
G                                             F6
   And now you've seen my world in flames, my    shadow songs, my deep regret
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Am                                   G/B
   Weren't we like a pair of thieves
C
   With tumbled locks and broken codes
Dm
   You cannot take that from me. My
E7
   small reprieves, your heart of gold
 
Am                               G/B
   Weren't we like a battlefield
C
   Locked inside a holy war
Dm
   You're loving my due diligence;
E7                                   Am
   The only thing worth fighting for
 
 
[Interlude]
 
   | Am | -  | F6 | -  |
   | G  | -  | F6 | -  |
 
End on Am

Shouldn't the first verse be like the second one? The Am on "Softly like forgotten" should be a G and the G after that a F6. Not sure about that. Good tabs anyway, thank you very much.
