Chords & lyrics

Chord names sit directly above the word where you change.

 
              Use Barre Chords or tune half step down(i.e. Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) to use open chords 
 
The intro is the same as verse 
 
Verse: 
Eb 
Uh-oh, my story's not 
    Cm 
The oldest of its kind 
        Gm 
I was too touched to see you clearly 
                Bb 
Far too young to realize 
 
I, I had loved so dearly 
You, whose world I had designed 
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors 
And it brought tears to my wide eyes 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Ab            Bb   
Dying just to see you 
Ab            Bb 
Dying since I misconstrued 
 
Chorus: 
     Eb          Bb 
Your blue heart, black eyes 
Ab               Cm      Bb 
Fading, falling, words I won't forget 
Eb            Bb    Ab 
I died right when I saw you 
        Cm          Bb     
While you shared that cigarette 
 
The solo uses the same chords as the verse 
 
Listen for to get the timing right, I placed it as close as I could to where the switches occur. 
Enjoy
