*   Single Strum
 
E7      020100
E7/D    XX0100

Playing Tip - Try and palm mute Intro and where you hear it isn't playing the full chords, use 5th chords.
              Strum high and low strings of chord to suit the pitch of the song
              Most transitions from E or E7 that change to E7/D through to E/G# is just lifting fingers off

[Verse 1] 0:12
     Am                                C
Am I slowly drifting away from you, my dear?
           F
Are you at peace about it
             E                  E/G#
Or should we try to work things out?
           Am
'Cause the Lord knows they say
                      C
You're better off without me
              F
And I've been slowly dying
          E                  E/G#
Since the angels brought you down
 
[Pre-Chorus] 0:34
Am             Am
Is this just a fantasy?

A fucked up game of make-believe?
      Am               Am            Am*
Could you still be the one for me? Oh    [Tap 3 beats on guitar]

             Am                                       C
And you know they all say that the truth will set you free
            F
But I'm not ready for it
        E            E/G#
I don't really wanna see
                Am                                    C
'Cause when the road gets rough, I'll always have you near
              F
I don't wanna walk alone now
              E                E/G#
I don't wanna live without you here
 
[Pre-Chorus] 1:38
Am             Am
Is this just a fantasy?
  Am                Am
A fucked up game of make-believe?
      Am               Am            Am*
Could you still be the one for me? Oh   [Deadstrum beat]

And one day you might come runnin' back
      E                E/G#
But I guess I'll never know
         Am
When the free ride's all over
            C
And there's no more pot of gold
       F
Do you really wanna leave me?

Do you really wanna go......?
