Evaline: A Protest in Lines Too Thin to Read
Amazing song, amazing band. I'm surprised there are no tabs on here whatsoever.
Also, ultimate-guitar ruins the spacing of the chords over the note sometimes, so 
sorry in advance.
Regardless, enjoy

Capo 4
D can also be played Dsus2. (I like the sound of it over just a normal D)
And if you want to play it without a capo, change the chords to go up 4 half-steps.


Em                           C            Am
A parent walks in on a child cutting them self

           Em                             C      Am
Laughs and says  “silly dear, you're only hurting yourself.”

Em                                C            Am
      So cut deep or don't cut at all. Are you listening?
                                               
**
I don't care what your parents tell you don't cut at all

             Am
Oh please be listening..
**          
I don't care what those bastards tell you don't cut at all.


Em G Am C
 
Em                        G            Am                   C
You're staggering in you find a finger gagging yourself you heave and say 
Em            G
I'm not like those pigs. 
 Am                            C
i don't care whats good for my health.

Em                         G
Controlling the room with tilted thighs

    Am            C
It comes to me as no surprise that 

Em      G      Am       
i even flicker on my own


F#m                    G
Feed the one thats closer (As you're flickering on)

D                      G
Feed the one thats closed (As you flicker)




Em         G            
Starving artist you will

Am    C
    I said it before

Em            G             Am      
Shed your burdens and build on


C                        D
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper 

C                        D
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper 

Em             C        Am
i make the demands.

Em C Am

Em                  C           Am
Well im doubting my portrait of skin
 
     Em                      C             Am
But i sure as hell wont find limbs down my throat

Em                                  C               Am                 E
The substance of weight defines the beauty laced behind the pride of my even 
            C        Am
scales they stand alone


Em      Em
So cut

          Am
(Its not) living deeply

Em    Em
Cut   (cut)

     Am
(No) not at all


       C                 D                 
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper 

       C                 D                 
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper

       C                D
You bear these lines to cleanse your system

       C               D
You bear these lines despite the symptoms

Em  G           Am         C
         i make the demands.
Em  G            Am         C
         i make the demands.
Em       G            
Starving artist you will

Am    C
    I said it before

Em         G         Am      
Shed your burdens and build on

OUTRO:

C  D
(oooh oooh oooh)

C  D                                    C                        
    We won't give up, we won't give up now.
    D                                    C              
    We won't give up, we won't give up now.

repeat repeat repeat, etc.

Alternately, if you want to play the ending a bit differently play the above twice then...

When it reaches the climax:
D                                 Em      G
We won't give up, we won't give up now.

Then for all times after:
Am                                Em      G
We won't give up, we won't give up now.
(La da da)

And repeat until the end.

That's just about it.
