Hey, I just had a go on playing this on acoustic... this is what worked for me:
Just use the picking pattern where it says to pick, and where it says strum, use the
shown. Listen for stumming pattern... also works playing along to song. Feel free to leave
comments or suggestions!
Cheers
Chris J

[Intro] x4
E5
[Verse 1] (Picking)
E5 B5
She wakes up, rage and grace, pulling me closer, pushing away
D5 A5
And me, the sharpest thorn on your vine, twisting and turning, we're all intertwined
E5 B5
Broken wing, empty glass, words that scream and bounce right back
D5 A5
She says" You know, we'd all like to rearrange"
[Fill 1] (picking)
E5 B5 D5 A5
Chorus 1 (Picking)
E5 B5
I wish I could fix you and make you how I want you
D5 A5
I wish I could fix you and I wish you could fix me
E5 B5
I wish I could heal you and mend where you are broken
D5 A5
I wish I could heal you and I wish you could heal me
[Fill 2] (picking)
E5 B5 D5 A5
Aha Alalala, Alalalalala, Alalalalahay
[Verse 2] (picking)
E5 B5
The beaming sunrise buries the night, the setting sun destroys the light
D5 A5
And she said "Baby, I've got to get going". Cutting each other without even knowing
[Pre-Chorus] (picking)
E5 B5 D5 A5
She sees a million stars like holes in the sky, all gods' tears, for her they cry and I am in her reign
[Chorus 2] (strumming)
E5 B5
I wish I could fix you and make you how I want you
D5 A5
I wish I could fix you and I wish you could fix me
E5 B5
I wish I could heal you and mend where you are broken
D5 A5
I wish I could heal you and I wish you could heal me
[Fill 3] (Strumming)
E5 B5 D5 A5
Aah uuh uuh ooh ooooohohoh x2
[Outro] (Picking)
E5 B5
Broken wing, empty glass, words that scream and bounce right back
D5 A5
She says "You know, we'd all like to rearrange"Fix You chords and lyrics
