The intro is the same as verse
Verse:
Eb
Uh-oh, my story's not
Cm
The oldest of its kind
Gm
I was too touched to see you clearly
Bb
Far too young to realize
I, I had loved so dearly
You, whose world I had designed
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors
And it brought tears to my wide eyes
Pre-Chorus
Ab Bb
Dying just to see you
Ab Bb
Dying since I misconstrued
Chorus:
Eb Bb
Your blue heart, black eyes
Ab Cm Bb
Fading, falling, words I won't forget
Eb Bb Ab
I died right when I saw you
Cm Bb
While you shared that cigarette
The solo uses the same chords as the verse
Listen for to get the timing right, I placed it as close as I could to where the switches occur.
