She For Liz
View chords used in this chart
CAPO 1 fret
E F#
She has no problem with secrets
A
She knows how to keep them
C#m B
She never felt the need to let them show
E F#
And I've had no trouble with speaking
A
Or trusting my instincts
C#m B
That maybe this is one that I should know
C#m B
But as I'm waiting there
E (F#)
The devil on my shoulder stares
A C#m
Laughing that the one thing I can't get
B
Is what I need
C#m A E
She, She is the words that I can't find
C#m A E B
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
C#m
And I couldn't speak
A E
I couldn't breathe to save my life
C#m A
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
E
This time it's it
B C#m
I'll drown or make her mine
C#m F#
My vocal chords have been fighting
A
My mouth likes to spite me
C#m B
It never says the words that come to mind
E F#
I brought a stick to a gun fight
A
And I'm stuck with my tongue tied
C#m B
I run but I can't hide what's always there is
C#m A E
She, She is the words that I can't find
C#m A E B
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
C#m
And I couldn't speak
A E
I couldn't breathe to save my life
C#m A
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
E
This time it's it
B A
I'll drown or make her mine
A C#m E B
I can see these things I'd do
A C#m E B
But never seem to follow through
C#m A E
She, She is the words that I can't find
C#m A E B
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
C#m A E
She, She is the words that I can't find
C#m A E B
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
C#m
And I couldn't speak
A E
I couldn't breathe to save my life
C#m A
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
E
This time it's it
B C#m
I'll drown or make her mine
A
Whoah - Oh
E A
I'll drown to make her mine
C#m B
Whoah - oh - whoaoah
C#m
I couldn't speak
A E
I couldn't breathe to save my life
C#m A
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
E
This time it's it
B E
I'll drown to make her mine
