This is my favourite track from Antimasque's self-title debut album. Song's harmonic 
structure is quite
straightforward, but Omar plays chord variations is the song to make it sound dynamic, 
which I haven't yet
mastered. I thought I'd share the basic chords. Hope you find it helpful.

[Verse]
CmShe was tied up to the tBbracks in the middle of the rAboad
Clutching to the tCmhorns of a rose that she fBbought but she couldn't let Abgo, couldn't let Ggo
CmPirched upon his lBbungs, she was tapping at his chAbest
I'll be hCmiding in the dreams of your lBbast will and testamAbent, testamGent
[Pre-chorus]
BbAnd if the only way out was just a straight ahead admission of gGuilt
Then he wBbouldn't be sitting in the darkness, sharpening every exGcuse
[Chorus]
You hit the bCmottlBbe, but you cAban't drink the yellow out of your spCmineBb  
If you wAbould, if you would, if you would
You hit the bCmottlBbe, but you cAban't drink the yellow out of your spCmineBb  
If you wAbould, if you would, if you would
[Verse]
CmSmothered by the tBbime that he could never forgAbet
DisassociCmation in the comfort of his drBbeams that she wouldn't let Abgo, wouldn't let Ggo
CmAnd everytime he wBboke up in the coldest swAbeat

ScrGawled to the bone with her nails was the promise that she wouldn't let go, wouldn't 
let go

Clutching to the thorns of a rose that she fought but she couldn't let go, couldn't let go

Smothered by the time that he could never forget

Scrawled to the bone with her nails was the promise that she wouldn't let go, wouldn't

let go
