Coffins Chords

(ver. 1)
Misterwives
Intro, Pluck:
F   Dm   A#   C  x2

Verse1:
F      Dm      A#          
I gave my hand for you to hold
F      Dm      A#                 
I gave my love that you went and sold
F         Dm       A#              
Exchanged our song for another
F           Dm                  A#             
Can't blame this sad flame that once glowed like no other

Chorus:
Gm         C
How do you soften
F              A#
The thought of carrying coffins?
Gm          C
We were so alive
F       A#
Only to see us wither and die

Same as intro, Pluck:
F   Dm   A#   C

Verse:
F       Dm          A#
You say you'd stand even if this would all fall
F                Dm      A#
You're yearning, yielded when you hit the wall
F      Dm         A#             
I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call
F            Dm         A#             
But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn

Chorus:
Gm         C
How do you soften
F              A#
The thought of carrying coffins?
Gm          C
We were so alive
F       A#                Gm  C
Only to see us wither and die
F  A#     Gm  C
Oh,       why         
F             A#
must soil run dry

Bridge pt1:
Dm                                      C
And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said
A#
Now I lay here in an unmade bed
Dm                     C
Empty stomach's unable to be fed
A#
Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled
Dm     C
So far away
A#
Could not find your way back
Dm          C
Walked down the path
A#
Where feet slipped through the cracks

Bridge pt2:
F                  Dm
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Am             A#
Could not find your way back
F                  Dm
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Am             A#
Could not find your way back

Chorus:
Gm         C
How do you soften
F              A#
The thought of carrying coffins?
Gm          C
We were so alive
F       A#                Gm  C
Only to see us wither and die
F  A#     Gm  C
Oh,       why         
F             A#
must soil run dry

Same as intro, Pluck:
F   Dm   A#   C  x2
