Hey guys, I didn't find any real solid chords on this song, so I just made my own.
When I copied it over from word, some of the chords got moved a bit, so they might
not be in exactly the right place, but I tried to get it close.
No capos or anything like that.
Chords:
E [ch]B#[/ch] C#m A or A if you prefer :P
E|-----7-------5------|
A|-7---9---4---7----0-|
D|-9---9---6---7----2-|
G|-9---8---6---6----2-|
B|-0---0---5---0----2-|
e|-0---0---0---0----0-|
Try your best to let those open notes on the high strings ring, cuz it sounds like twice as good
The finger picking sections (verses) go like this:
E Ebm A A
E|-----------------------------------------|
A|--7-----7---6-----6---0-----0--0-----0---|
D|----9--9-9----9--9-9----9--9-9---9--9-9--|
G|------9--------8---------9--------9------|
B|-----------------------------------------|

Verse 1 (Finger picking)
E Ebm A
When your tears are spent on your last pretense
E Ebm A
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.
E Ebm A
When it's in your spine like you've walked for miles
E Ebm A
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
Pre-Chorus Oohs and Ahs
E [ch]B#[/ch] C#m A

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up

And I will hide you when it gets too much
E [ch]B#[/ch]
I'll be right beside you
C#m A
I'll be right beside you

I'm just trying to keep this together,
([ch]B#[/ch])
Because I could do worse and you could do better
(Softly)
E Ebm A
When your tears are spent on your last pretense
E Ebm A
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.
