Kevin does a lot of hammer-ons/pull-offs/etc during the song so just fool around with it
how you like. Listen to the song for timing of the intro.
I don't know if he uses alternate tuning or a capo, but this is how you can play it with
NO CAPO.
Intro: B, D#m, C#m, G#m, E, B-F#
B D#m C#m G#m
I don't do that shit to myself anymore
E B
I keep it away from me
B D#m C#m G#m
I don't want to live like I'm dead anymore, so
E B
Keep that away from me
B D#m
We broke all the bread
C#m G#m
Argued through every side, now
E B
What's there to do but leave?
B D#m C#m G#m
You can tailor the truth, make it look how you like, but
E B F#
That didn't work for me
C#m F#
You talk with your hands
B E
And break bricks with your head
C#m F#
You're black and you're blue
B E
And a matter of "when"
B D#m C#m G#m
And I can't wait around for bad news anymore
E B F#
I keep it away from me
Solo Chords: B, D#m, C#m, G#m,
E-Dsus2-B x2
C#m F#
You talk with your hands
B E
And break bricks with your head
C#m F#
You're black and you're blue
B E
And a matter of "when"
E F#
You pray with a wink
F# G#m E
Fingers crossed in your bed
F#
That you'll wait out the wreck
B D#m C#m G#m
Well, I can't hang around to find out anymore
E B F#
I'll keep it away from me
Outro Chords:
B, D#m, C#m, G#m, E-Dsus2-B
B, D#m, C#m, G#m, E-D,
