This song is fairly straightforward - I've transcribed the chords for a single
acoustic (or rhythmn) guitar. The C-Csus4 Am-Am6 G progression is played as
follows - you'll have to get the timings by ear (probably the trickiest bit):
C Csus4 A Am6 G (2 bars)
e|----0-0-0-0-0---|----0-0-0-0-0---|----3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
B|----1-1-1-1-1---|----1-1-1-1-1---|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
G|----0-0-0-0-0---|----2-2-2-2-2---|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
D|----2-2-2-3-2---|----2-2-2-3-2---|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
A|----3-3-3-3-3---|----0-0-0-0-0---|----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
E|----------------|----------------|----3-3-3-3-3-3-3-etc
Intro: C Em Am F
Verse 1:
C
The last time you walked away
Em
You left this weight with me,
It's in my heart it's on my back,
F
I think it might bury me,
I wanna cast you out,
G
But that's just half of me,
C - Csus4
The other half believes there's more to us than tragedy,

Verse 2:
C
Don't tell me you're not safe,
Em
It sounds like a dare to me,
F
And if you doubt don't shut me out, that's not fair to me,
G
I know i hurt you too, When I was looking for clarity,
C-Csus4
But all I know is when I go, I want you there with me.
