The Lonely Life Chords

(ver. 1)
City And Colour
Track: The Lonely Life


Tuning: EADGBe

CAPO 3rd

All chords are relative to the capo on the 3rd fret. Listen out for his signature 
hammer-ons and pull-offs and general strumming pattern throughout the track. It's pretty basic 
but sounds good playing
against the track though I haven't figured the bridge part out other than to say there's 
the C/E, G
and Am in there so any input is welcome.


CHORDS:

Em7 - 022030
Em  - 022000
C/E - 032010
G   - 320033
D/F#- 200230
Am  - 002210

Em7
What if I did not love you?
C/E
Where will that be to me
Em7
But I wander through the avenues
C/E
Under a pall of misery

(Verse)
Would I be face down in a gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts

(Chorus)
      Em             C/E                   G      D/F#
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
      Em         C/E
I am alive, oh can't you see?
              G                 D/F#
That I've been blinded completely
      Em             C/E                   G      D/F#
Please don't, please don't pass me by
      Em         C/E
I am alive, oh can't you see?
              G                 D/F#
That I am pleading for your mercy

(Verse)
What if we became strangers?
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud

(Verse)
Would I be searching for a savior?
Burned and burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
With one last desperate request

(Chorus)
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy

(Bridge)
D/F#            Am
I've been on the lamb
      G              Em
Being hunted, something fierce
Am                                 D/F#
They say time and tide don't wait for no man
             Am
But I was just hoping
C/E
These storm filled skies will clear

(Chorus)
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
