This song is fingerpicked using the chords below. You can simply strum the chords,
or use whichever fingers you like to hit the strings - I use my thumb for hitting
bass notes, and my index &middle finger for plucking higher strings!
Verse 1:
C/G
Think I've had enough.. I must find my way, I'm falling off the
F - G -
edge to find that I've gone blind you're
C/G -
leading me astray.. you haunt me like a
G - F -
ghost, and that scares me the most
Chorus:
Am B (bass note only)
There you are the
C
devil on my shoulder
Am B (bass note only)
smiling as the
C
flames are growing colder
F G C
how can I believe in what I have?
F G Am -
for a little confidence I’ll grab
Am - B (bass) - C - G - F
but when my hand goes out don’t take it
G
for I’m trying to make it
C/G
on my own
Verse 2
C/G
I feel it in my bones
any minute now
F
this train of thought will leave the station
G
my impatience,
C/G
will come out to play
G F
you’ve turned out to be, the only face I see
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Am - B (bass) - C
oooooooooooooooown
Am - B (bass) - C
running through the empty hallways i can tell that i am not alone
Am - B (bass) - C
you spin a web in every room and try to break the backbone that i’ve grown
Am E (bass note only, simply pluck lowest string)
will I make my own path, or wander where i’m
F
thrown
Am E (bass) F
will I make my own path, or wander where i'm thrown
(Chorus)
