Notes:
Essentially, Chris walks down chord bass notes in the verses/choruses  
Example in verse its: G, G maj7 (1/2 step down on E low E string),
Em (with a pull off/hammer on the D string), C, C maj7 (1/2 step down on A string)
to A sus2 (with pull off/hammer on G string).
NOTE: UG's highlights chords Gmaj7 and Cmaj7 do not jive. It begins with a G, walk 6th string
finger to an F#, Em (with pulloff) to C, walk 5th string finger to B to Asus2
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7        Em        D            C   Cmaj7   Asus2
You and I went deeply you and I went far and wide
G Gmaj7        Em        D            C   Cmaj7 Asus2
You and I went gently you and I went for a ride
C Cmaj7              Asus2  G              F  Em  D   C
But somewhere in the ashes of this burning lovers game
G Gmaj7       Em        D            C   Cmaj7     Asus2
Somewhere you decided that you would find another flame
[Chorus]
C              G                Bb            F
And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut
G Gmaj7                Em  C   Cmaj7    Asus2
I will be, cleaning my gun, cleaning my gun
C                              Em D          A
When heaven or hell takes this life, I’ll be done
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7           Em      D              C   Cmaj7   Asus2
You never lied to me never said you’d be around for long
G Gmaj7    Em             D        C     Cmaj7 Asus2
Somehow I believed that you would be my only one
C Cmaj7                  Asus2  G              F  Em    D   C
Cause you know where I’m going you know where I’m coming from
G Gmaj7            Em       D             C   Cmaj7         Asus2
But now this train is slowly coming to its final destination
[Chorus]
C              G             Bb              F
And as you lay sleeping with your eye softly shut
G Gmaj7               Em   C   Cmaj7   Asus2
I will be cleaning my gun, cleaning my gun
C                              Em D          A
When heaven or hell takes this life, I’ll be done
G Gmaj7     Em   C   Cmaj7   Asus2
Cleaning my gun, cleaning my gun
C                              Em D          A
When heaven or hell takes this life I’ll be done
[Bridge]
C          G                 Bb           F
As you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut
A               E              B        F#
I know it ain’t me that you’re dreaming of
[Outro]
G Gmaj7     Em         D           C   Cmaj7  Asus2
Mama always told me love would save me from myself
G Gmaj7      Em         D           C   Cmaj7        Asus2
Daddy always told me love would take me straight to hell
C Cmaj7             Asus2    G              F       Em   D   C
Sometimes they were righteous sometimes they were oh so wrong..... 
G Gmaj7                Em   C   Cmaj7   Asus2
Cause I’m, Cleaning my gun, cleaning my gun
C                              Em D         Asus2
When heaven or hell takes this life I’ll be done
G Gmaj7     Em   C   Cmaj7   Asus2
Cleaning my gun, cleaning my gun
C                              Em D         Asus2
When heaven or hell takes this life I'll be done
C                              Em D         Asus2
When heaven or hell takes this life I'll be done
