My favorite part of the song. I'll tab out the main guitar part but there's a few

layers of guitar/keyboard so just jam out and mess around with a wah pedal or whatever if you can

First chords are the same as verse:

EmC/EGD/F

sweet guitar part at ~2:43

Then 3:08:

Then the rhythm guitar goes a little something like this (3:17):

B7GEmDCB7

And the last chord progression (3:40) is:

True Love

Fmaj7

E11

AAmaj7Asus4A6ACFE

F#mTrue love is a Amaj7rose behind Bmglass

It's locked and kept Fclosed

Maybe just to Ame 'cause my heart's been BatCtacked

Shattered by Ftough love, Ebad love

F#mso bought mine off the Amaj7street

true Bmlove, man, it just can't be Fbeat

I felt so comAplete, married BtoC heavenlyGm7 bodiesF aboveE

And each Fmaj7night I look up at a Ambright honeyE11moon E

'cause it F#msure seemed built to Amaj7last

and even Bmafter my honeymoon Fpast I kept Aright with that, man,

LikeB aC ghost to the house it onceF hauntedE

F#mAnd day after Amaj7day

I'd Bmsteal with my true love aFway

To some Ahideout we left unBdiCsturbed

we could do what we Fwanted E

But I Fmaj7started to feel like a Amliar saying "I E11love you" E

She was Dmmadly in love, and mad Cmean there was no in-beBbtween

It raised my Ealarm

I Dmfound I can't make a Cstand i'm her hired Bbhand

I have to do Eharm

F#mOne day I got Amaj7sick, she Bmplayed me a nasty old Ftrick

ASaid, "I need cigarettBes"

CWalked around the Gm7block caught Fa cab E

F#mStayed gone for too Amaj7long

My Bmlove had gotten too Fstrong

Just to Atry to getting back on BmyC own

I had to go to FrehabE

DmAll I Cneed is a safe place to Bbbleed

Is this where it's Eat?

DmHalf of no Cchance, steps in a dance

Bbrest of my live spin in Ecombat

Now I'm the A king of theAmaj7 ward

'cause I'm Asus4good and I swallow my A6sword

APuke it up for the doctor BtoC write aGm7 new prFescriptioEn

F#mtranquil as a Amaj7dove

Bmpeople that have lost their true Flove

that Aall seem BtoC fit theGm7 same dFescriptionE

I feel Fmaj7cold, useless and Amold

Wish I was E11no one E

Dsus2he don't read page to page Dsus2or say the Dsus2words in CordFer

Dsus2judy's illustrating and Dsus2she's a stranger Dsus2to the Cstraight Fface

Dsus2always seems so far away, Dsus2staring Dsus2out inCto Fspace

Dsus2you dress like an opposite Dsus2but really it's Dsus2more than CechFo

Dsus2so she sees punch with a Dsus2thorn in his hand and says, "Dsus2stop right CtherFe

Dsus2what the fuck are you Dsus2doing don't you Dsus2know i CcarFe?"

Dsus2but she hears the bark of a Dsus2cop and drops to the Dsus2dirty CstrFeet

Dsus2"i wonder," punch says, "do you Dsus2know what at all, what's Dsus2protecting Cme?F"

Dsus2judy used to hold me Dsus2like a pencil writing Dsus2out some CchanFge
