--- Chords ---

Standard Tuning.  Three capo options:

Capo on 1        No Capo         Capo on 2 (slightly easier)
    133211         244322         022100
   113331          002220         002220
    x32010         224442         224442
   xx0312        224442       446664

The chords below are for capo on 1, which sounds the best (to me).

--- Intro ---

  

--- Verse 1 ---

                                
If you ever find a way to forgive me 
                        
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest 
                                           
Because I'm hanging on your dress now like a little boy 

                           
When all that you wanted... All that you wanted
                      
Was a good man, all right

                        
Right in the middle of another big fight 
                  
Boom back another one tonight 
                        
Blood never forgets but who protects the memories 
                                  
When we bleed each other from the vein 


--- Verse 2 ---

                                       
And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
                          
And if I ever find a way to stop disintegrating 
                           
Into pieces that I was, that you destroy 

                           
When all that you wanted... All that you wanted
                      
Was a good man, all right

                        
Right in the middle of another big fight 
                        
Go to bed, it's getting light out

Why do you, why do you
                                                      
Why do you always find me in the places when I'm coming down


--- Bridge ---

                                              
And how do you do it when I'm overwhelmed by a violet sky 
                                         
And we fly in a decayed orbit 66 thousand miles an hour
                
Goes by when we kissed and only now do I feel your mouth 
        
Like an ache you never knew 
           
And it was right in front of you 

                                         
Oh, how do you do it, roots in the soil untangled 
                                                  
Releasing in sweet summer oil, still I recoil like mace
                                        
In all the little moments I pushed you away that I can't erase 
                 
Every moment overflows with power 
                          
66 thousand miles an hour 


--- Verse 1 again ---

                                
If you ever find a way to forgive me 
                        
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest 
                                           
Because I'm hanging on your dress now like a little boy 

                           
When all that you wanted... All that you wanted
                      
Was a good man, all right

                           
When all that you wanted... All that you wanted
      
Was a good man 

                   
Was a good man... A good man...   (4x)
