Strum
D-DU-UDU
Four measures of Dm (you might not want to play it that long)
My point of reference makes me afraid to begin convincing,
But you might as well just change your name.
'Cause I only recognize this shadow,
Kinda like a superhero with nobody's best interests in mind.
(Strike Once)
F
(slowly release palm-mute)
------> Dm
Now there's blood in the waters, that I squeezed from this stone, here
And we turned into our cheap wine.
And I swallowed every drop, yes, I could feel my stomach rotting,
You were so supportive as I drank through the pain.
You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand.
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah.
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.
Another four measures of Dm
Dove off the deep side platform, jack-knifed and bone dry, I hit floor
One broken ankle saved my name.
And this eraser burn, I dig in deep at every turn.
It keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same.
You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand.
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah.
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place
don't wanna be the one who takes,
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.
Whoa-oh whoa-oh
Whoa-oh whoa-oh oh
Whoa-oh whoa-oh
Whoa-oh whoa-oh oh
I don't wanna take, I don't wanna take this place, no.
I don't want to take, I don't wanna take this place, no.
No-oh, no-oh. I don't wanna take this place, no.
No-oh, no-oh. I don't wanna take this place, no-o-o-oh oh-whoa.
You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand.
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah.
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place
don't wanna be the one who takes,
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.
