One of my favorite songs ever by probably my favorite band. I figured it out on
piano then transcribed it to guitar. Please rate and/or comment!
Capo on 3rd
***You might want to mute the high e throughout the song, personal preference tho
[Verse]
G D
The air begins to feel a little thin
Bm A
As I start the car and then I begin
G D
To add the miles piled up behind me
Bm A
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
G D
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
Bm A
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
G D
But then I remember when you packed my car
Bm A
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart
G D Bm A
For me to drive away with
[Chorus]
G D Bm
I began to understand
A G
Why God died
G D Bm A
[2x]
[Verse]
G D
The demon sat there waiting on her porch
Bm A
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
G D
And when my car was far out of sight
Bm A
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
G
And then I felt chills in my bones
D
The breath I saw was not my own
Bm
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
A
Wasn't made to play this game
G
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
D
He laid it out, what he had planned
Bm
And then I said, I'll take the grave
A
Please, just send them all my way
[2x]
G D Bm A
[Chorus]
G D Bm
I began to understand
A
Why God died
G D Bm A
[2x]
[Outro]
G D
The air begins to feel a little thin
Bm A
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
G D
But for now you told me to hold this jar
Bm
And when I looked inside, I saw
A
It held your heart
G D Bm A
For me to walk away with
G D Bm
I began to understand
A
Why God died
G D
