Memories Of A Broken Heart Chords

(ver. 2)
Crown The Empire
This is how Crown The Empire actually plays Memories of a Broken Heart on an 
acoustic guitar, shown when they played acoustic shows throughout 2013 while on 
tour. I know I already have a chord tab by the exact name, but that was actually 

If you want the timing, strum pattern, etc. a reference video is here:
the second verse ("But instead we wage a war that can't be won") is optional, but 
recommended for accuracy.

-----------------------------

Verse 1:

      Dm                             F
As I stare into these ruins made by man
     G                          Bb
I tremble as I realize it's the end
          Dm                               F
More and more I wonder what we could have done
       G                                Bb
But instead we wage a war that can't be won
        G                                Bb
Yeah instead we wage a war that can't be won

Chorus:

Dm                                 F
   I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved
                G
Memories of a broken heart
         Bb
Now I'm alone in the dark.

Dm                                    F
   I know there's a way out when all hope is gone
                   G
Find your light in a new dawn
               Bb                    Dm    Bb
But there's no way to do this on our own
F   C
Own

Verse 2:
               Dm
I search for solace in this waste that I once called home
          Bb                                        F
But my attempts of piecing life together leaves me alone
                                          C
I can't repair what's been done when the sky is as black as the ground that I walk on

Dm                         Bb
   But I can't give up on this

(But I can't give up on this)
F
   I have to wonder what we could have done
C
   I have to wonder

      Dm                                Bb
But instead we wage a war that can't be won
      F                                  C (play progressively louder as you 
transition into the chorus if you palm muted this part)
But instead we wage a war that can't be won

Chorus:

Dm                                 F
   I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved
                G
Memories of a broken heart
         Bb
Now I'm alone in the dark.

Dm                                    F
   I know there's a way out when all hope is gone
                   G
Find your light in a new dawn
               Bb                    Dm    Bb
But there's no way to do this on our own
F   C
Own

Strum Dm once to finish it!
