The slidy sound on the guitar which is an octave higher can be done by sliding the D string to fret 12 when playing Dmaj7(2) and sliding the A string to fret 12 when playing A(2)) Dmaj7(2) A(2) And when their arms are dead how do they sigh Dmaj7(2) A(2) As gentle as the winter that fades by Dmaj7(2) A(2) And some kind of angel appears in their eyes Dmaj7(2) A(2) Or is it just the devil screaming inside [PRE-CHORUS] (same as first pre-chorus) Why give into useless devotion Truth and beauty, love and hate, mother and God [CHORUS] (same as first chorus) They give life and take it back Spit you out but understand Stay silent when you want to shout Give when we piss it away [SOLO] e||----------------------------------------------------------|
