 Play the above over the first two lines of the song, this same pattern is simply shifted
 the neck throughout the song. Alternatively you can play the chords although due to the
 simplicity of the song they are not strummed.
Oh  thunder in my heart, this razor's cutting sharp
 And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar

 Repeat the above line twice just after 'scar' and then return to the first pattern for
  next lines:

So  soft, so suddenly, so that I cannot breathe
 I'm drawn into a circle painted black
 For the chorus (and if you're playing chords over the verse), enunciate each chord with
 single downward stroke and let it ring. These chords may not be 100% but the reason
 have had problems figuring them out is because the vocals drown them out a bit. I don't
 if what I'm playing is Dsus or Dmaj7, but refer to the chord list at the bottom.
Oh  I'm hanging high (oh im hanging high),
Oh  won't you let me down (Oh won't you let me down)
I'm  back where I started at, (back where i started at)
you  know I'm a little lost (y'know i'm a little lost)
And  when it hurts the most, (when it hurts the most)
I'll  push a little more (push a little more)
I'm  back where I started at,(back where i started at)
you  know I'm a little lost
 Repeat for the next verse and chorus, I believe the song finishes as it began, strumming
 Bm until fadeout.
