Whilst the other chord tab on this site is perfectly fine to use, it is not how the band 
it. Once you've tuned it to this and played it this way you'll be able to hear the 
I've included an intro tab, complete with the strumming pattern, which most people 
seem to have difficulty with.

Make alterations over these two chords.
The verse uses the same strumming pattern as the first Am chord,
but with all chords used. If you can't pull off the rhythm and singing at the same time,
just make something up and it'll sound fine. Make sure you keep it muted!

[Am]Weep for yourself, my man,
you'll never be what is in your [C] heart.
[Am]Weep little lion man,
You're not as brave as you were at the [C] start
[G]Rate yourself and rape yourself,
[F]Take all the [Fmaj7] courage you have [C] left.
[G]Wasted on fixing all the [Fmaj7] problems that you made in your own [C] head.


But it was [Am] not your [F] fault but [C] mine,
and it was [Am]your heart [F] on the [C] line,
I really [Am] fucked it [F] up this [C] time
didn't I, my [G] dear?
Didn't I my-

INTRO PATTERN, ALTERNATE STRUMMING


[Am]Tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all [C] before.
[Am] Tremble little lion man,
you'll never settle any of your [C] scores.
[G]Your grace is wasted in your face,
your [F] boldness stands [Fmaj7] alone among the [C] wreck.
[G] learn from your mother or else [F] spend your days [Fmaj7] biting your own [C] neck.

But it was [Am] not your [F] fault but [C] mine,
and it was [Am]your heart [F] on the [C] line,
I really [Am] fucked it [F] up this [C] time
didn't I, my [G] dear?
