And it hurts to care, so I won't now
*that last D is a single strum, letting it fade.
PART 2
Now comes a strum verse where you play A7 and D, but you put your middle finger on and of, making a transition
from A7 to A and from Dsus2 to D, like this:
(A7 to A) (Dsus2 to D)
e|-----------------------|-0h2--2-2-2--2-2-0-2-2-|
B|-2---2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-3----3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-|
G|-0h2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-2----2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-|
D|-2---2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-0----0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-|
A|-0---0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|-----------------------|
This strum is not complete, it's just so you can get a notion. Try to listen this part of the song to get the
rhythm. Nothing too complex.

Forgot my woman, lost my friends
D

Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold
