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
