Capo at 5

This tab is by ear and one of my firsts.  Marcus appears to play w/ capo on 5 in live 
and their official video.  He may use different fingerings for the chords however).  GL!


Intro:   (Listen for rhythm and strumming pattern)

A5      C5       x4

(To emulate banjo play   A5    Amadd6     A5    C5    the last two times)

Verse 1:
A5
Weep for yourself, my man,
                               C5
you'll never be what is in your heart.
A5
Weep little lion man,
                                       C5
you're not as brave as you were at the start.
G5
Rate yourself and rape yourself,
F5            F5            C5
take all the courage you have left.
G5
Wasted on fixing all the
F5                F5             C5
problems that you made in your own head.

Chorus: (Sustain C chord)

         A5          F5          C5
But it was not your fault but mine,
         A5         F5         C5
and it was your heart on the line.
         A5        F5        C5
I really fucked it up this time,
             G5
didn't I, my dear?
                  A5
Didn't I, my dear?


A5    C5     x2


Verse 2:
A5
Tremble for yourself my man,
                                       C5
you know that you have seen this all before.
A5
Tremble little lion man,
                                C5
you'll never settle any of your scores.
G5
Your grace is wasted in your face,
     F5               F5            C5
your boldness stands alone among the wreck.
G5
Learn from your mother or else
F5               F5            C5
spend your days biting your own neck.


Chorus:
         A5          F5          C5
But it was not your fault but mine,
         A5         F5         C5
and it was your heart on the line.
         A5        F5        C5
I really fucked it up this time,
             G5
didn't I, my dear?
         A5          F5          C5
But it was not your fault but mine,
         A5         F5         C5
and it was your heart on the line.
         A5        F5        C5
I really fucked it up this time,
             G5
didn't I, my dear?
                  A5
Didn't I, my dear?

         A5        F5        C5
