Intro

Verse 1

I– Will not cavil to[C/G] you

For my Heart– is an unending [C/G]tune

And I– Will not trouble your[C/G] rest

For my heart– is infinitely b[C/G]lessed

G Am | Fmaj7 | C/G
Ever a Heart– cut from an angel crow, alone. (?)

Verse 2

And so– One is ringing a be[C/G]ll (?)

And it’s just– shimmering s[C/G]hell (?)

The world– slows my vision, all blur[C/G]red. (?)

But now– is my lesson, it com[C/G]es. (?)

G Am | Fmaj7 | C/G
And heat from the tall– lamp melting the outer- wax, it holds.

G Am | Fmaj7 | C/G
Blood from a deep– cut, some of the red does start, to flow.

G (Dies down)

Chorus

(Riff) F | C/G | B/G | Am (Riff)

F | C/G | B/G | Am (Riff)

Sometimes my hands, they d[C/G]on’t feel like my own, I need someone to love, I need someone to hold

Sometimes my hands, they d[C/G]on’t feel like my own, I need someone to love, I need someone to hold

Sometimes my hands, they d[C/G]on’t feel like my own, I need someone to love, I need someone to hold

Sometimes my hands, they d[C/G]on’t feel like my own, I need someone to love, I need someone to hold

F C/G G Am (Riff)
Oooh–

F C/G B/G Am (Riff)
Oooh–

F C/G B/G Am (Riff)
Oooh–

[—]Key

(?) – This indicates that I guessed the lyrics, pretty hard to understand some of the lines.
— – Sustain note (Refers to the singing not the guitar playing)
| – Usually a spilt bar (You decide!)

———-

Side Note:
James plays this a few different ways acoustically but this was just the way I tabbed.

ENJOY!
