C#m (muted)
I was born with lightning in my heels
Set a spur onto my ankle, bitter horse under the steel
And I lost hope when I was still so young
Had an angel on my shoulder but the devil always won
|C#m |A2 |E
And oh, I lost it all when I got hu-rt
|B5 |C#m
And I can feel you even no-w
|A2 |E
Breakin' horses in the sky, I can taste you in my rage
|B5
And in the sweat upon my brow
|C#m |A2 |E
And I went home, chasing twisters in the canyo-n
|B5 |C#m
My cathedral is the badla-nds
A2 |E
Dust and devils on my conscie-nce
|B5 |C#m | C#m | A2 | A2 | C#m | C#m | A2 | A2 |
. Come back to me darlin' (whistle)
C#m (muted)
So kiss me now, this whiskey on my breath
Feel the lives that I have taken
|C#m (muted) B5 B5 |
What little soul that I have left / /
C#m (muted)
And oh, my god, I'll take you to the grave
The only love I've ever known
The only soul I've ever saved
|C#m |A2 |E
And I went home, chasing twisters in the canyo-n
|B5 |C#m
My cathedral is the badla-nds
A2 |E
Dust and devils on my conscie-nce
|B5 |C#m
. Come back to me darlin'
|A2 |E
And I've been waiting for so long no-w
|B5 |C#m
I can feel you in the hollow
|A2 |E
And every cloud on the horizon
|B5 |A | A6 |
. Come back to me darlin'
|Amaj |A6 |A | A6 |
. Don't you know you I dream about yo-u

Charted by Dexex
My chord charts represent how, as a rhythm guitarist, I choose to
play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. I believe chord
charts are interpretations. They differ from tabs, which are intended
to replicate the way songs were played on recordings.
Notes: The chords in this song are straightforward (C#m, A, B, E). I
prefer playing this combination of chords using power chord forms
(C#5, A2, B5, E), and this chart reflects that.
The bridge section of the song is entirely piano-driven. I've chosen
chords that mimic the piano line, but you can simply play an A chord
if you'd prefer to keep it simple.
Chords:
C#m = x46650
C#m* (barred) = 446654
A = x02220
A* (barred) = 577655
A2 (Asus2) = x02200
Amaj = xx7655
A6 (A6sus2b5) = x04440
B5 = x244xx
B* (barred) = 799877
