This is my first contribution, comments & corrections welcome!
I don't love barre chords. Using them anyway.


I'm using a variation of each chord to keep the shapes similar and close together on the
fret board.

This is how I play it, and it sounds pretty close to me. Not perfect...waiting for a
video to see what weird business he's gotten into.

Oh I'm a mess right now

Inside out

Searching for a sweet surrender

Going through us

I messed up this time

Late last night
              D#
Drinking to suppress devotion

With fingers intertwined


   A#     Cm
I can't shake this feeling
   A#
Now
                         D#
We're going through the motions

Hoping you'd stop

You know with all of my words
               G#
With all this beloved

Although all the lies spoke

When you're on my road walkin' me home
