Hey guys, this is my attempt of figuring out the chords to an acoustic version of this 
TUNING
Either low e string tuned one step down OR guitar tuned one step down and a capo on the 
2nd fret except first low e string (chords according to capo).
Just lift your finger from the 4th string when playing the Dm chord to make it sound

They say love

A love has its very own light

That can shine through the darkest night

That we've heard of

And that light

That you may want so much

Well maybe you can never touch

Though you may try

Now at night I dream

I'm all alone

G Dm

Big sledgehammer and a cold dark stone

Man swing the hammer

World begin to shake

Dm Am Dm

I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak

Now Eve

She stood by Adam's side

Ah, somewhere in paradise

When the world was young

And their love

That was so pure and sound

Was cursed straight into the ground

That they walked on

Now somewhere in every kiss

I still feel the blame

Like a dirty link

In a long dark chain

Man pull the chain

World begin to shake

Dm Am Dm

I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak

You gotta work with me baby

Am Dm

You gotta work with me baby

She says "man,

I've given you my flesh and blood

But that just wasn't good enough

You wanted my soul"

He says "girl,

No matter how hard I try

You just ain't ever satisfied

no no no"

Now at night the same dream

I'm all alone

Big sledgehammer and a cold dark stone

Man swing the hammer
