Hey! This is the proper way to play this song acoustically if you want to know how!
This is what Adam Arkell, Or Matt Lean would play, depending when you got into the band.
Tuning is EBEADD or I find its safer to tune to DADGCC and capo the 2nd fret
Okay this song is basically a bunch of power chords with the GCC ringing out.
The strumming pattern is DUUDUU Striking the power chord on the downward stroke and just
mainly hitting the GCC on the up.
I took the placement of the chords from the unregistered chords that someone already put
to save time, so thanks to him/her!
Whose version works just I'm doing some fine tuning!
Everything is relative to the capo
(The chords in brackets are just the chords if you do not want to tune to the funky tuning)
A5(A) - 555000
B5(Bm) - 777000
E5(Em) - 000000
G5(G) - 333000
-Intro- E5, G5, B5, A5
-Verse-
E5
These mountains I've been climbing,
G5
They were mole hills all along.
B5
And my lack of perfect timing,
A5
Punched a hole right through this song.
E5
And the point that I was making,
G5
Was a weak one at its best.
B5
And my heart's excessive pounding,
A5
Punched a hole right through my chest.
E5 G5 (Ring out)
And this is where I fall.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/h/hello_kelly/perfect_place_crd_ver_2.html ]
E5
And these nails they pierce right through me,
G5
But I dont know what this means.
B5
And this weight upon my shoulders,
A5
Makes me fall down to my knees.
E5
And I'm praying to this silence,
G5
But I dont know who can hear.
B5
And these waves of fake religion,
A
They all echo in my ears.
E5 G5 (Ring out)
And this is where I fall.
-Chorus-
G5 B5 A5
And this blood bleeds through my eyes.
G5 B5 A5
And this sin crawls through my veins.
G5 B5
And the air is hot, And my skin peels off,
A5
And I never thought that I'd be the one,
G5 B5 A5
Crying, crying, yeah!
(If playing this acoustically it best to palm mute this part)
E5 G5
The perfect place for me to fall,
B5 A5
Is at your feet 'cause this is all that I can
(No longer palm muting but downward strokes only)
E5 G5
Offer you, to honour you,
B5 A5
'Cause who I am is what you do.
(Back to strumming pattern)
E5
And the perfect place for me to fall,
G5
Is at your feet 'cause this is all
B5
That I can offer you, to honour you
A
'Cause who I am is what you do.
-Chorus-
G5 B5 A5
And this blood bleeds through my eyes.
G5 B5 A5
And this sin crawls through my veins.
G5 B5
And the air is hot, And my skin peels off,
A5
And I never thought that I'd be the one,
G5 B5 A5
Crying, crying, yeah!
Em G (Ring out)
And this is where I fall...
