playing them normally just sounds werid).
C5 Em G5
My song is love
C5 Em G5
Love to the loveless shown
C5 Em G
And it goes on
F5 C G5
You don't have to be alone
C5 Em G5
Your heavy heart
C5 Em G5 / F
Is made of stone
C5 Em G5
And it's so hard to see you clearly
F5 C G5
You don't have to be on your own
F5 C G5
You don't have to be on your own
F5 C G5
And I'm not gonna take it back
F5 C G5
And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that
F5 C G5
You're the target that I'm aiming at
F C G5
Can i get that message home?
(there is some crazy riff with some super reverb and reverse right here, its mostly
with this chord, and since i dont know the name of it, im just going to make a tab of it).
