The first initial guitar riff is a quick-like walk down from Bm, A, to G, and back to A.
You?ll have to listen to the actual song to hear how the chords change?but it?s obvious.


VERSE 1
Bm      A           G         A (repeat riff)
Baby I'll be your soldier
Bm       A           G             A (repeat riff)
Gladly I'll do your bidding
Bm           A             G               A (repeat riff)
For just a taste of what you're holding
Bm             A                   G                A (repeat riff)
For just a taste you could own me

CHORUS 1
Em         G                 D            A/C#
       Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love
Em          G                    D               F#7 (or just F#)
       I'll be right here lying in the hands of God

Now the floor is the ceiling
If you never flew why would you?
Cut the wings off a butterfly

If you knew what I feel, than you couldn't be so sure

Em9     G         D                         F#7 (or just F#)

Skin begins to grow back slowly
Faster until I'm choking
