(guitar 1)
              C
Look what you started
             F                G
I seem to be coming out of my skin
                    C
Look what you've forgotten here
             F                  G
The bandages just don't keep me in
                C
And when it was over
           F     G
I woke up alone
                C
And when it was over
           F     G
I woke up alone
(guitar 2)
 "Started" ... "Coming" ... "Skin"  ...    "Forgotten" ... "Just" ... "In"

(guitar 1 e 2)
         Am        G           F            C       Am G F
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
           Am      G       F       C          Am G F
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
  Am            G             F          C      Am G
I called for my father but my father had died
      F                    G            C
While you told me fortunes  in American Slang

(verse 2)
            C
Look at the damage
             F                   G
the fortunes came for the richer men.
                      C
while we're left with gallows
               F                      G
waiting for us liars to come down and hang.
                C
And when it was over
           F     G
I woke up alone
                C
And when it was over
           F     G
I woke up alone
(guitar 2)
 "Damage" ... "Came" ...    "Men"  ...       "Gallows" ... "Liars" ... "Hang"

(chorus 2)
(guitar 1 e 2)
         Am        G           F            C       Am G F
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
           Am      G       F       C          Am G F
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
  Am            G             F          C      Am G
I called for my father but my father had died
      F                     G            C      F

(guitar 1)
F
                    G                   F
And here's where we died that time last year
                     G                 F
And here's where the angels and devils meet.
            G                           F
And you can dance with the queen if you need
             G                F
And she will always keep your cards
         G          C
Close to her heart oooh
            F           G
So close to her heart
                     C
before they tear you apart
( F G )
(guitar 2)
         ...      "died"    ...    "year"   ...    "angels"

(chorus 3) The first two lines are a different progression and palm muted
          F         G           Am           C
when they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
           F      G        Am      C
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
      Am            G             F          C        Am  G  F
And I called for my father but my father had died
  Am            G             F          C          Am  G
I called for my father but my father had died
            F            G        C
you told us fortunes  in American Slang

            F            G        C
You told me fortunes  in American Slang
