Blame - by Collective Soul
 
Intro Strum
 
Intro Solo
 
E D5 D Asus2/Db E
You pushed me down for all the world to see
E D5 D Asus2/Db E
I guess that's your price for my loyalty
Asus2 E
So while you're tastin' sin and swallowing the pain
Asus2 E
Don't look at me to take your blame
 
CHORUS
E D5 D
When you're willing to render to the guilt you concede
Asus2/Db E G
When truth is your reason then lay the blame on me
E D5 D
When you unveil a conscience and with peace you agree
Asus2/Db E G
When the love is your constant then lay the blame on me
 
REPEAT INTRO SOLO
 
E D5 D Asus2/Db E
You lay me out in hopes that I'd wilt away
E D5 d Asus2/Db E
But strength rained down and love provided shade
Asus2 E
So while the pageant of lies still glow from your tongue
Asus2 E
Don't blame me for your Kingdom Come
 
CHORUS (REPEAT TWICE)
 
MINI SOLO (REPEAT TWICE)
 
FINALE (REPEAT TWICE)
E D5 D Asus2/Db E G
Question your answers the truth has no anger
E D5 D Asus2/Db E G
Gather up your words redemption's now offered
