There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
It's chords mostly, but there's a cool little electronic intro which is repeated throughout.
Changed from piano to guitar. Eliichka got the chords bang on right - I've just tabbed the intro bit)
Standard tuning, capo on three

Chorus (no finger-picking just chords)
Am F
You found me dressed in black
C
hiding way up at the back
G
Life had broken my heart into pieces
Am F
You took my hand in yours
C
You started breaking down my walls
G
And you covered my heart in kisses
Am F
I thought life passed me by
C
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
G
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
Am
And then you crossed my path
F C
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
G Am
Then you covered my heart in kisses
Verse (same as first verse)
I was down for the count, I was down
