Montaigne is awesome! This is my go at her beautiful ballad 'Consolation Prize' - there are a couple of 
moments in here I'm not 100% sure about so open to suggestions...
It's played on piano in the original, so listen to the rhythm to create your own strumming pattern.

Heartbreak

Feels like an old dream

Feels like a demon

I cannot shake him

I have...

no one to turn to

The people have left me

I'm dead to my family

Dm C

Ooooh

[Chorus]

It's your heart that I'll call

I am alive and here after all

I am alive

C Gm A#

That's my consolation prize

[Verse 2]

There are...

no bruises to cover

The bleeding's internal

I'm told to be quiet so

[Pre Chorus]

No one knows I'm dying

No one know he's lying

[Chorus]

It's your heart that I'll call

I am alive and here after all

I am alive

C Gm A#

That's my consolation prize

I'm not afraid to fall

I am still standing here after all

I didn't die

C Gm A#

That's my consolation prize

[Verse 3]

I s'pose I should thank you

You set the conditions

Gm A#

For me to learn to be alone

You lied and denied

And you forced me to see

Gm A#

I can make my life on my own

[Chorus]

It's your heart that I'll call

I am alive and here after all

I am alive

C Gm A#

That's my consolation prize

I'm not afraid to fall

I am still standing here after all

I didn't die

C Gm A#

That's my consolation prize, that's my consolation prize...
