[Verse 1]
G#m     A#m        B       E
   This house is cold and lonely
G#m     A#m       B      E
   This place is just a tomb
G#m        A#m   B       E
   It's an old cruel reminder of the past
G#m              A#m     B      E
   That's what's left of me and you
 
F#  G#m                    E
     I can't sleep in our bed no more
F#  G#m                       E
     Misery shakes me to the bone
F#  G#m          E
     Even when I try to get some rest
F#  G#m               E
     I cannot sleep alone
 
 
[Chorus]
    E   F#        G#m
So I hide from the reckoning
    E   F#        G#m
And I hide from the truth
    E   F#        G#m
Yeah I hide from the reckoning
B       F#             E
'Til I'm lying next to you
B       F#             G#m
'Til I'm lying next to you
 
 
 G#m A#m B E B F#
 G#m A#m B E B F#
 
[Verse 2]
 
G#m   A#m           B             E
These prescription pills'll get me by
G#m   A#m           B            E
At the bottom of a bottle every night is where I hide
G#m  A#m  B        E
 I hide from the fact that you're gone
G#m       A#m      B    E
And after all these years I'm all alone
 
F#  G#m               E
     At the end of my road now
F#  G#m                     E
     On my way to ease the pain
F#  G#m                           E
     When I get there I put that cold steel to my head
F#  G#m                               E
     I squeeze the trigger beside your grave
 
 
[Chorus]
E  F#         G#m
Hide from the reckoning
E  F#       G#m
Hide from the truth
      E  F#         G#m
Yeah I hide from the reckoning
B         F#            E
'Til I'm lying next to you
B         F#            E
'Til I'm lying next to you
B         F#            G#m
'Til I'm lying next to you
 
    A#m B E B F#
G#m A#m B E B F#
G#m A#m B E B F#
G#m A#m B E
 
[Chorus]
                     G#m
Yeah I hide from the reckoning
E  F#         G#m
I hide from the truth
      E  F#         G#m
Yeah I hide from the reckoning
 B       F#            E
'Til I'm lying next to you
 B       F#            E
'Til I'm lying next to you
 B       F#            E
'Til I'm lying next to you
 B       F#            E
'Til I'm lying next to you

This one has the same chords as the song. The other 2 tabs are far off from the song.

For the players who struggle with barre chords, play this with guitar tuned 1/2 step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb) and play this in Am. Instead of G#m A# B E, you'd play Am C/B C F. The C/B is really just a transition note that gets held on your way to the C. If you search for this song acoustically you can see how Cody is doing it. Just notice he's Capo'd in that video. The cut from Early Morning Shakes is either G#m in standard or Am tuned 1/2 step down (which is easier to play). Good luck!
