Hello! Lois J here; this is some chords I put to Wintervention so that you can play it
acoustically. I don't know how accurate it is as a)the song's not acoustic and b) this
hasn't been checked by any members of Ashes, but I think it sounds fine! If you want an
example of tempo and strumming, check out my cover of the song here:

By the way, I know Ashes are signed to Dust Devil Sounds, but Ultimate Guitar doesn't have
them in their database, so I had to put them 'Misc Unsigned'.
Also, where I've put * after a chord, it means just strum once! :)

Capo 1
Em*
She said,
C* G*
You best pay attention love, I have some things to say and dearest if you
D*
Will allow me, I shall go on.
Em* C*
Rule one you should resign yourself to knowing you will hate what you
G* D* D*
Become, and you'll never know how far you've gone.
Em* C* G* Em* C*
But what did you expect me to say? My darling. What did you expect me to
G*
Say...
Em* C* G*
So burn, burn away you're never getting back what was never yours anyway, so
D*
What have you got?
Em* Em* C
So get up, get up, you're only wasting time,
G D
The things you waste, well they keep you in line,
Em C
And when suspicions keep you safe and superstitions keep you sane,
G
You do your worst to hold a course,
D
And follow the road home again
Em* C*Em*
You've got so much to lose,
Em C
Onwards I press through my homemade abyss,
G D
I hope to grow toward the light,
Em C
And I need to understand when I do the best I can,
G D
Sometimes that still isn't right
Em C
And I'm tired of making excuses,
G D
But we all make mistakes some times...
Em* Em* C
So get up, get up, you're only wasting time,
G D
The things you waste, well they keep you in line,
Em C
And when suspicions keep you safe and superstitions keep you sane,
G
You do your worst to hold a course,
D
And follow the road home again
Em
So reject the truth and live for lies,
C
You'll spend your time on suicide,
G
There's just one bridge that I won't burn,
D
The one that leads you home,
Em
I know where we go when we die,
C
I'll keep you safe, keep you inside,
G
But you know you're still alive,
D*
You best remember,
D*(1)
You best remember,
D
You won't feel this way forever!
Em C G
Stay alone and stay safe but you'll get nowhere at all,
D Em
Truth is your never more alive then in the moments when you fall,
C G
And I know that you are burning, you know I'm burning too,
D
It makes me accountable,
Em C G
Stay alone and stay safe but you'll get nowhere at all,
D Em
Truth is your never more alive then in the moments when you fall,
C G
And I know that you are burning, you know I'm burning too,
D
I'll char myself to ashes,
Em
If it would light the way for you...
Em* Em* C
So get up, get up, you're only wasting time,
G D
The things you waste, well they keep you in line,
Em C
And when suspicions keep you safe and superstitions keep you sane,
G
You do your worst to hold a course,
D Em
And follow the road home again!
