Strum twice

*Strum Pattern*   __DDDUDUDD__   But it's better to do what comes naturally. It's never the same for me.

**Verse 1**

         Em 
Here I walk,
   C     G             Em
an empty shell, even though
      C       G
It's hard to tell 
               Em
this lonesome hand
      C          G
It's taken it's toll
   Em                   C         G
I just don't know how far it can go

**Chorus**

 G                  Am
Well come down and watch your first step
 C                     G
Don't do anything you might regret
  G                    Am          C        G
Cause you're much too innocent to suffer
  G        Am
It wasn't all sunny days
 C                    G
Picking through your memories
     G                       Am           C      G
the rain came down and you covered me in velvet
 G      F      C      G       
Oh you covered me in velvet

Am  C   G* (Strum Once)

**Verse 2**
             Em 
There you are 
             C      G
it's like a song I heard
             Em
In a smoky bar 
           C       G 
where the whiskey stirred
                 Em
Just like my heart 
          C        G
and it's dancing alone
         Em                C          G
And it seems like it just won't ever end

**Chorus**

 G                  Am
Well come down and watch your first step
 C                     G
Don't do anything you might regret
  G                    Am          C        G
Cause you're much too innocent to suffer
  G        Am
It wasn't all sunny days
 C                    G
Picking through your memories
     G                       Am           C      G
the rain came down and you covered me in velvet
 G      F      C      G       
Oh you covered me in velvet

Am  C   G* (Strum Once)

**Bridge**
         Em            C        G 
Another turn, another cautious step
              Em             C            G 
Will we ever learn just how lonesome can get
               Em       C       G
You caught me running, running away
       Em                  C            G
End I just don't know how long I can stay

**Chorus**

G                  Am
Well come down and watch your first step
 C                     G
Don't do anything you might regret
  G                    Am          C        G
Cause you're much too innocent to suffer
  G        Am
It wasn't all sunny days
 C                    G
Picking through your memories
     G                       Am           C      G
the rain came down and you covered me in velvet
 G      F      C      G       
Oh you covered me in velvet
 G      F      C      G
Oh you covered me in velvet
    Am  C        G
In velvet
    Am  C        G
In velvet
