A Car A Torch A Death Chords & Tabs
A Car A Torch A Death Chords
One of my favorite songs ever by probably my favorite band. I figured it out on piano
then transcribed it to guitar but I might need a little correcting or i could at least use
some ideas of how to make it better so comment please!
Capo on 3rd
Not sure of either of these D chords, whether they should be a little "special" or both
just a regular D chord
D-alt D*

G D-alt
The air begins to feel a little thin
D* A
As I start the car and then I begin
G D-alt
To add the miles piled up behind me
D* A
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
G D-alt
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
D* A
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
G D-alt
But then I remember when you packed my car
D* A
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart

G D-alt D* A
For me to drive away with
G D-alt D*
I began to understand
A G
Why God died
G D-alt D* A
[2x]
G D-alt
The demons sat there waiting on her porch
D* A
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
G D-alt
And when my car was far out of sight
D* A
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
G
And then I felt chills in my bones
D-alt
The breath I saw was not my own
D*
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
A
Wasn't made to play this game
G
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
D-alt
He laid it out, what he had planned
D*
And then I said, I'll take the grave
A
Please, just send them all my way
[2x]
G D-alt D* A
G D-alt D*
I began to understand
A
Why God died
G D-alt D* A
[2x]
G D-alt
The air begins to feel a little thin
D* A
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
G D-alt
But for now you told me to hold this jar
D*
And when I looked inside, I saw
A
It held your heart
G D-alt D* A
For me to walk away with
G D-alt D*
I began to understand
A
Why God died
G D
