Picking 3 strings at a time:

Dno5 x 16
[Eb5] / [B] x 8
[Db5] / [A] x 1

Picking: Watch video
[Db5]You hold [A/D]your truth [Bm]so purely,
[A/D][Bm]
[Gadd2]And swerve not through the minds of men
[A/D]This lie is dead

[Db5]And this [A/D]cup of yours [Bm]tastes holy,
[A/D][Bm]
[Gadd2]But a brush with the devil can clear your mind
[A/D]And strengthen your spine

3 String Picking x 8 again like before:

[Eb5] / [B] [Db5]/ [A] Dno5
But fingers tap into what you were once;
[Eb5] / [B] [Db5] / 1 [A]note and PAUSE
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance

[Db5]
[Gadd2]Whispers in the dark
[A/D]Steal a kiss and you [Db5]'ll break your heart
[Db5]
[Gadd2]Pick up your clothes and curl your toes,
[A/D]Learn your [Db5]lesson, lead me home
[Db5]
[Gadd2]Spare my sins for the ark,
[A/D]I was too [Db5]slow to depart!
[Db5]
[Gadd2]I'm a cad but I'm not a fraud,
[A/D]I'd set out to [Db5]serve the Lord

[A/D] [d5] ,

[Db5][A/D]
[Gadd2]But my heart was colder when you'd gone
[Db5][Db5]
[Gadd2]And I lost my head but found the one that I love,
[Eb5] / [B] Dno5
Under the sUUUUUUuuuUUUuuuUUUUUUUUn,
[Eb5] [B] / [Db5] [A] Dno [Db5]5 /
Under the sUUUUUUuuuUUUuuuUUUUUUUuuuuuuuUUUUUUn,

PAUSE

Still strumming, but softly

[Eb5] / [B] [Db5]/ [A] Dno5
But fingers tap into what you were once;
[Eb5] [B] [Db5] / [A] [Db5] /
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance
[Eb5] / [B] / [Db5] [A] Dno5
Fingers tap into what you were once
[Eb5] [B] [Db5]/ [A] [Db5] /
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance!
