I dont know how tenth ave plays this, but these are the actual chords, and for it
to sound right, to me at least, your guitar needs to be a full step down. these
are the chromatically correct chords (rather than relative to tuning) so if you
tune your guitar down a step, to D standard, you will be playing with the G shape.
Thanks to darksladex for the layout, i merely copied what chords i think are
correct over his format.
(intro)
F Bbmaj7/D F Bbmaj7/D F Am Bb
Verse 1:
F Bbmaj7/D
I called you up, you were in bed,
F
could barely make out the words that you said
F Am Bb
But you wanted to see me instead, so I got dressed
F Bbmaj7/D F Bbmaj7/D
and I stepped out into the snow, and walked for a mile or so
F Am Bb
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, in my chest
Dm F Gm7 Bb9 x2
Verse 2:
F Bbmaj7/D
Well you finally came to the door,
F Bbmaj7/D
and we talked for an hour or more
F Am
Until I asked if you would stay up til four,
Bb
you said that's fine.
F Bbmaj7/D
But you said, "there's something I have to say,
F Bbmaj7/D
and I can't because I'm just so afraid"
F Am Bb
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night
Pre-Chorus:
Dm F Gm7 Bb9
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you
Dm F Gm7 Bb9
Grace tonight will pull us through
Chorus:
F C2/E
Until the tears have left your eyes
Dm Bb9
Until the fear can sleep at night
F C2/E
Until the demons that you're scared of
Dm Bb9
Disappear inside
D C2/E
Until this scale begins to crack
Dm G(maj)
And the weight falls from your back
Dm C/E F
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight
F Bbmaj7/D F Bbmaj7/D
Verse 3:
F Bb
You slowly lifted your head from your hands
F Bb
You said "I just don't think that you'll understand
F Am
You'll never look at me that way again
Bb
if you knew what I did"
F Bb
And so your tears fell and melted the snow
F Bb
You told me secrets nobody had known
F Am
But I never loved you more, even though
Bb
Now I know what you did
Pre-Chorus: (repeat)
Dm F/C Gm7 Bb9
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you
Dm F/C Gm7 Bb9
Grace tonight will pull us through
Chorus:
F C2/E
Until the tears have left your eyes
Dm Bb9
Until the fear can sleep at night
F C2/E
Until the demons that you're scared of
Dm Bb9
Disappear inside
D C2/E
Until this scale begins to crack
Dm G(maj)
And the weight falls from your back
Dm C/E F
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms...
(repeat)
F Bbmaj7/D F Bbmaj7/D
F Am Bb
