It sounds best if you just play the low E string to imitate the bass then as the song
progresses start playing the A as well then the D and just keep adding in the next strings
until you're playing the full chords
[Intro]
EI can explain why I cannot give my heart back
F#mI left it with my ELady Blue
EWhat was her name? She flew in, I caught her
F#mI was a fool to Elet her go
She Egoes, she goes with her hollow F#mbones
She Egoes
EEvery year she's back for the season
F#mI have to keep my Ewindows closed
EI couldn't shake what my mother warned me of
F#mTry to keep me safe betEween the pews
EI stepped away, saw that Love was outside
F#mShe wore a name, just a Edifferent one
EThey all say
N.C.
I'm sorry boy, you shouldn't fly with her kind
They found a way out of God's love
[Bridge]
E Em E Em
She Egoes, shes Emgoes with her hollow bEones
Keepin it pretty is gettin Empretty old
Keepin it Epretty is gettin Empretty old
It's getting Em7sus4pretty old
[Chorus]
AmRound and round we go, we go arCound
AmRound and round we go, she wont stay Em7sus4dead
