Em7          D/A 
Dear brother I have never asked this much of you 
C/G                           B7                               Em7 
Could you please just take my other and show them how much I care? 

For the section after the intro,  
just play Em7, Cadd9, B7, Em7, C/G, B7  
but hammer on and pull-off with some  
of the notes while you hold down the root note. 

Em7     D/A                  B7     C/G 
Hiding under the blanket behind the chair 
Em7                    D/A          C/G      B7 
There's something that screams this seems so unfair 
Em7                     D/A 
But were all gonna feel better tomorrow 
C/G                      B7 
And that's something you can only borrow 
Em7                 D/A 
Just take a deep breathe 
             C/G                 B7 
And take in the air of this lifelong nightmare 

(You can play the regular chord, or the alternative chord for the ones marked with ) 

Em7        D/A       C/G       Em7 
We'll just learn to forget about this 
D/A      Em7        C/G 
I'm not changing my mind with the seasons 
D/A              Em7                     C/G 
Cause winter has broken, and I'll be the first one, to lose my head 


Em7                D/A 
Tie me to a broken eyelid itched with razors 
C/G                            B7         D/A 
My dear brother is bound up in cages, and rages 
Em7                   D/A 
Nothing will ever get worse than this right now 
C/G                                   B7 
Because a deep breathe is out of reach somehow 

(James plays the next line differently in both videos. You can do either of the following) 

We'll just have to learn to forget about 
We'll just have to learn to forget about 

or 

Em7        D/A       C/G       Em7 
We'll just learn to forget about this 


D/A     Em7      C/G                   
I'm not changing my mind with the seasons 
D/A              Em7                      C/G 
Cause winter has broken, and I'll be the first one, to lose my head 
D/A     Em7          G 
I never had a single cigarette that I didn't enjoy 
D/A            Em7           C/G                             D/A 
And all the dreams leave such a, such a bitter taste on my tongue 
             Em7           C/G                      D/A 
Despite the smell of an old aged man, I'm young at heart 
             Em7                    C/G 
If I was to have just one more day, I'd make sure that I spent it without you
