So the chords below correspond with the picking patterns above. G I blame the vain for what we wear, Am C G And I blame the blind when we can't see. G I blame it all on someone else, Am C G Till there's nobody left, then I just blame me. G I blame her mind for the thoughts we share, Am C G Whoa, and I blame her heart for the time we cared. G I blame it all on how we used to be, Am C G Till she's finally gone, then I'll just blame me. D So go ahead and blame, C G Anything that you want. D 'Cause it all ends up the same, C D When everything that you've been claiming is wrong. Instrumental Break: G G Am C G D Oh and don't you know that blame, C G Is always never enough. D It just keeps you in the game, C D Till you've only got yourself left to bluff. G So I blame the vain for what we wear, Am C G Yeah, and I'll blame the blind when we can't see. G I'll blame it all on someone else, Am C G Till there's nobody left, then I'll just blame me. Am C G Till she's fin'lly gone, then I just blame me JJC
