Some of the chord names are odd - just play them exactly as notated and ignore the names.
CWS tune to Eb, so they play this with shapes in the key of Gb, but that's a weird key to play
in on guitar, so I transposed to standard to make it easier.
The timing of the intro and interlude riff is rather tricky at first, but with practice it
isn't so bad.

[Verse]
E C#m
So place the crown of thorns around your horns
E C#m
You listen through the cracks of these broken bedroom doors
E C#m
Well I have no sympathy, I have no sympathy
E C#m
I have no sympathy for you or the one you claim to love
A
The one you claim to love
[Pre-chorus]
C#m B
So give me medication
A
To counter all these fucked temptations
C#m
So give me medication
B A
I'm not lying, I'm not fooling anyone
C#m B
Well I love you so much that I shake
A
She said "if my life can be defined by all the damage I take
C#m B A
Then reserve my seat in heaven and consider me a saint"
[Chorus]
E
You're something that I wanted
B
And felt that I needed
C#m B A
but now you're just an inconvenience
E
You're something that I wanted
B
And felt that I needed
C#m B A
but now you're just an inconvenience

[Verse]
E
It's in between the lines and the stories they tell
C#m
It's in the pain and the guilt I felt
E A
It used to keep me up at night but lately I can't see the faces
E
And here it comes the candle to light you to bed
C#m
And here comes the voice in the back of your head
E
Saying the apple got you kicked out of the garden
A B
Do you want to know the trouble I'm in?
