Em Asus2 Bm7 A7
[Verse 1]
Em Asus2
Evidence known so long
Bm7 A7
Oh god, I'm lost in my wrongs
Em Asus2
Everything froze like stone
Bm7 A7 C
Saw your heart couldn't take much more
[Chorus]
Am Em D
My boy, I don't know why this life
C G Bm7 C
Is so cruel and unkind but it weighs on my heart
Am Em D
All joys were taken from your eyes
C G Bm7 C
As the law would abide in murder and crime
Am Em D
Hard lines as the fossil defines
C G Bm7 C
It's own shadow in lime and reveals how it dies
Em Cmaj7 Bm7 A7
[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj7
If anything goes, then everything's flawed
Bm7 A7
Oh my love, what the violence has caused
Em Cmaj7
Malevolence flowed from beyond
Bm7 A7 C
And my heart cannot take much more
[Chorus]
Am Em D
Oh joy I'm afraid of the light
C G Bm7 C
As the jewel of my mind begins to fall apart
Am Em D
Do not destroy what has taken it's time
C G Bm7 C
As the lord would abide in murder and crime
[Chorus]
Am Em D
Oh my love, I don't know why this life
C G Bm7 C
Is so cruel and unkind but it weighs on my heart
Am G Em D
Fading lines as the fossil denies
C G Bm7 C
It's own shadow in the time to conceal how it died
[Verse 3]
Em Cmaj7
Evidence known, march on
Bm7 A7
Oh god, I'm lost in the antiphon
Em Cmaj7
Where does everything go when everything's gone?
Bm7 A7 C
For my heart cannot break much more

Wow, thank you! Beautiful tab
+1

I figured out that the low E needs to be tuned down to C or G relative to capo on 7th it makes all the difference
