My Backwards Walk Chords

(ver. 2)
Frightened Rabbit
This is the live, acoustic version of Frightened Rabbit's "My Backwards Walk", 9th 
track off their record The Midnight Organ Fight. Standard tuning, no capo! 

Intro: C  

Verse 1: 
               C
I'm working on my backwards walk
             F
walking with no shoes or socks
                         G
and the time rewinds to the end of may
                        F
I wish we'd never met then met today

Verse 2: 
                     C
I'm working on my faults and cracks, 
                    F
filling in the blanks and gaps
                                  G
and when I write them out they don't make sense
                     F
I need you to pencil in the rest

Verse 3
C
I'm working on drawing a straight line
                           F
and i'll draw until I get one right
          G
it's bold and dark girl, can't you see
                        F
I done drawn a line between you and me

Verse 4
                  C
I'm working on erasing you
                   F
just don't have the proper tools
                           G
I get hammered, forget that you exist
                 F
there's no way I'm forgetting this

Verse 5:
                 C
I'm working hard on walking out
                       F
shoes keep sticking to the ground
                                  G
my clothes won't let me close the door
                                F
these trousers seem to love your floor

Verse 6:  
                     C
I been working on my backwards walk
                         F
there's nowhere else for me to go
                        G
except back to you just one last time
                  F
say yes before I change my mind, say yes before I…


Outro: 
G
You're the sh*t and I'm knee-deep in it
                                          
You're the sh*t and I'm knee-deep in it
F
You're the sh*t and I'm knee-deep in it
                                             G
You're the sh*t and I'm knee-deep in it, you're...

Nota Bene: 
Throughout the song play the chords quite softly but emphasise the sounds towards 
the higher end, the B and high E mainly, this creates the hollow sound Scott uses 
in the song. 

When the tab denotes an F chord, play it as an F/E Major chord, so basically don't 
play the root notes on either of the E strings.
