You can play Verse 1 with or without the A2 and Cmaj7 chords. That's why I placed them in brackets.
If it's hard for beginners you can play just Am and C.
Am x02210 A2 x02200
C x32010 Cmaj7 x32000
F 133211
Em 022000
[Verse 1]
Am (A2)Am (A2)
A submission so sweet A silent pact sealed
Am C (Cmaj7)C (Cmaj7)
And it was in its shade That i buried myself
C Am (A2) Am (A2)
Trembling like a thief Nothing concealed
Am C (Cmaj7)C (Cmaj7)
Not my hideous shame Not the angst i felt
C Am (A2) Am (A2)
We are all weeping 'Cause we can't undo the lie
Am C (Cmaj7)C (Cmaj7)
Not with a word Not with the blink of an eye
C Am (A2)Am (A2)
We are all weeping 'Cause we can't break away
Am C (Cmaj7)C (Cmaj7) C
Not without getting hurt Not without leading astray
[Chorus]
Am F
I'll state my case I won't go down
Am F
You've lost your face Now you're after mine
Am
Are you turning time
F Am
Over to lies? Over to lies
F
Swear never to frown
Am F
Upon the things we left behind
Am
Now and again These walls are shaking
F
Now and again These walls are breaking
Am F
Now and again These walls are breaking us in two
Am Cmaj7 Em
[Verse 2]
Em Am
We are waving stealthy goodbyes
Cmaj7 Em
For we know we have failed you
Am
You would not ever break the ties
Cmaj7 Em
Nor the code, now, would you?
[Chorus]
Am F
I'll rest my case I won't go down
Am F
You've lost your face Now you're turning on mine
Am
Are you handing time
F Am
Over to lies? Over to lies
F
Swear never to drown
Am F
The things we love They're all gone
Am F
For we left those things behind
Am
Would you embrace what is left to me?
F
Ever embrace what is left to be?
Am F
Would you embrace what is left of me now?
