Holding Absence - Coffin Chords

Coffin Chords by Holding Absence

[Intro]
Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am7  F          Am7     F
Bags packed and sorries sent
Am7  F  C    G
I    am hell-bent
   Am7    F     Am  F
On giving up on myself
           Am7  F
Well, I'm stuck in stasis
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Am7 F   Am7  F
I'm willing backward
Am7  F    G    G
Motion to feel something
Am   G                        F
As I fell from the apex of it all
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am7                  G
And I found love, like a nail in a coffin
    F                              F
And no one ever said that it would be this way
    Am7                G         C
And I found you at the bottom of burden
    F                              F
And no one ever said that it would be this way
 
 
[Instrumental]
| Am7    | F      | Am7    | F      | Am7    | F      | C      | G      |
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Am7  F  Am7  F       Am7  F
This one-way wasteland is barren
      G         G
But I see your skyline
Am   G                        F    Am
As I fell from the apex of it all, I
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am7                  G
And I found love, like a nail in a coffin
    F                              F
And no one ever said that it would be this way
    Am7                G         C
And I found you at the bottom of burden
    F                              F
And no one ever said that it would be this way
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                        F
Death used to sing me to sleep
    Em                     F
H?r voice so melodious and clear
    Em                   F
But you sing a different song (Now I know, now I know, now I know)
    Em              F
I'm forced to carry on
 
 
[Outro]
Am   G                        F    Am7    F
As I fell from the apex of it all, I
Am7                G         C
I found you like a nail in a coffin
    F
And no one ever said that it would be this way
