I originally wrote this in standard tuning before the album (and videos) had come out.
It's now been adjusted to be played tuned down one half-step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb).
Thanks to deniseawright (see Ver6 chords) for submitting corrections.

TUNING: Half-Step Down
NO CAPO
[Verse]
C#m
Oh I'm a mess right now
B
Inside out
E
Searching for a sweet surrender
A E
But this is not the end
F#m C#m
I can't work it out
B
How?
E
Going through the motions
A B
Going through us
[Pre-Chorus]
A E
And though I've known it for the longest time
B
And all my hope
A
All my words are all over written on the signs
E B A
But you're on my road walkin' me home
A A A A
Home, home, home, home
[Chorus]
C#m B
See the flames inside my eyes
A E
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love
F#m C#m B
Noo, easy baby maybe I'm a liar
A E
Before tonight I wanna fall in love
F#m A
And put your faith in my stomach
[Verse]
C#m
I messed up this time
B
Late last night
E
Drinking to suppress devotion
A E
With fingers intertwined
F#m C#m
I can't shake this feeling
B
Now
E
We're going through the motions
A B
Hoping you'd stop
[Pre-Chorus]
A
And though I've only caused you pain
E B
You know with all of my words
A
With all this beloved
E
Although all the lies spoke
E B A
When you're on my road walkin' me home
A A A A
Home, home, home, home
[Chorus]
C#m B
See the flames inside my eyes
A E
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love
F#m C#m B
No, easy baby maybe I'm a liar
A E
Before tonight I wanna fall in love
F#m A
And put your faith in my stomach
