I was hoping to find chords to this wonderful song already on the web, but I had no luck
with my search.
So here are the chords I came up with after listening to the song carefully.
I had some trouble figuring out how to label each chord because some aren't normal or
common, but I did my best.
To get the strumming down, I recommend trying to play along with the recording. Enjoy!
Verse:
D Dm
Where she walks, no flowers bloom
Cadd9 G D
He's the one I see right through
D Dm
She's the absinthe on my lips
Cadd9 G D
The splinter in my fingertip
Chorus:
F C Dm Dsus2
But who could do without you?
F C Cadd9 Asus2
And who could do without you?
Verse:
She's the sea I'm sinkin' in
He's the ink under my skin
Sometimes I can't tell where I am
Where I leave off and he begins
Chorus:
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
Bridge:
D Dm Cadd9 G D
Oh, we're a pretty, pretty pair, yes we are
D Dm Cadd9 G
All, all the king's horses and all of his men couldn't
F C Dm Dsus2
Tear us apart Oooo
F C Cadd9 Asus2
Aaaaah Ooooo
Verse:
Dancing with a ball and chain
Through it all we still remain
Butterflies around the flame
Till ashes, ashes, we fade away
with my search.
