THERE ARE TWO GUITARS ON THIS SONG ONE IS

CAPO 3
VERSE 1:
Em C G D
I set my camp against the wind
Em C G D
But don't come close to a lover's sin
Em C D G
I danced the edge of an avalanche
C D G
And lived to walk away
VERSE 2:
Em C G D
I slept all night on a bed on nails
Em C G D
I've walked bare feet on a fire trail
Em C D G
I've felt hot needles under my skin
C D G
Since you went away
[Refrão]G D Em D
Don't forget me I once lived to see your smile
G D Em C
Take a moment and add this to your pile
Em C G D
This dream is over and you want a change of style
Am C G
Now I'll be lonely for a while
VERSE 3:
Em C G D
I've broken through your battle lines
Em C G D
Tampered with the hands of time
Em C D G
I walked for miles under desert skies
C D G
And still I've made no ground
VERSE 4:
Em C G D
Well you have seen my fall from grace
Em C G D
Watched me beg with your stone cold face
Em C D G
Thrown me away while you kept your pace
C D G
The new king has been crowned
CHORUS:
G D Em D
Don't forget me I once lived to see your smile
G D Em C
Take a moment and add this to your pile
Em C G D
This dream is over and you want a change of style
Am C G
Now I'll be lonely for a while
SOLO: Em C G D 2X Em C D G Am D G
CHORUS: play quietly up to "pile"
G D Em D
Don't forget me I once lived to see your smile
G D Em C
Take a moment and add this to your pile
Em C G D
This dream is over and you want a change of style
Am C G
Now I'll be lonely for a while
