Hi, this is my first tab so sorry if it's a little basic.
This is to be played with a capo on the 3rd fret, mostly open chords. For example, The
chord (C minor) is played as an A minor shape. The Last chorus however, is bar chords.
Intro:
Cmin, D#maj7th, G#, D#/D#maj7th

Verse 1

Running as fast as I can
G# (xx1114@1)                  D# (x43121@3)D#maj7th
Can't even see where I am now
Cmin (x3133x@1)                 D#maj7th
Over the soldiers and sand
G# (xx1114@1)                     D# (x43121@3)D#maj7th
This wasn't part of the plan

                   D# (x43121@3)   D#maj7th
Shining like the stars above them
    G# (xx1114@1)                  CminThe (x3133x@1)bullets fly over my head
