Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Massive thanks to guitarchik13 for their original post, it was
exactly the shot in the arm I needed to get my head around this
plus the lead is a direct copy/paste (why change perfection?)
all relative to capo 5th unless otherwise indicated, however
if you transpose the chords down 5 steps you will be able to
play without the capo, so use the tool here on UG to the right
to do that if needed (not applicable to intro tabs)

I don't want to be the crutch

One step away from down
F G D5
I don't want to be the crutch
F G
One step away from
Dm
Man I feel like hell so come on over
Be a love machine and I could be your friend
Ain't no shame feel strong for one another
Make a real true color come end to end then
Gm
God damn, change of pace
I think you've got a piece of my heart on your face
It's a shame to let it waste
Dm
How does it taste? How does it taste?
Dm
Break it down in pieces, make it simple
'Cause you know damn well that I'm a simple man
All these things go changing like the weather
And they stay that way until the weather man says
Gm
One down, gone to waste
I think you've got a piece of that smile on your face
I would like it erased
Bb C
There ain't no two ways about it no
D5
I don't want to be the crutch
F G D5
One step away from down
F G D5
I don't want to be the crutch
F G D5 F G
One step away from down, down, down
Dm
Bring it on then gone, use a lover
Like a cigarette the way that lovers do
One sweet song that starts a little slow and
Then goes on and on and makes you want to
Gm
Move around the room in circles
Everybody wants to be you
Try to find my place up on the map
Of all men you've been through
Dig a little deeper and you'll realize
Bb A9b9
All I'm building up you're tearing down
D5
I don't want to be the crutch
