Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Note: I think the strum pattern here is: V V V^V | ^ ^V^ ^V^
Hence, for F/E and G, the first strum is an up-strum
Verse 1
And all these distant faded memories of everything I used to be
Are bringing me down; yeah, they're bringing me down
And the leading cause of death I plead is from my insecurity
And it's bringing me down; yeah, it's bringing me down
Chorus
Down........
Down........
Post-chorus:
Note: The strum pattern for the second half is V^ ^ ^V | ^ ^V V^
Verse 2
Yeah, hope is all I really need to wash my selfishness and greed
But there's no hope to be found; no, I've looked all around
And if this life that I've led only leads to tears in bed
Then I won't hang around; no, I won't hang around
Repeat chorus twice
Bridge
Note: Now, one guitar plays the chords below, while the other continues playing the riff
You can play the chords here as power chords, if you wish.
Now I've come to conclusions that I'm empty
I thought I still had everything in me
Repeat verse 1, except last line is:
And it's bringing me down; Down...
End on G
