Verse 1
Dmaj7 
A coma might feel better
A 
than this
Dmaj7 
attempting to discover
A 
where to begin
Dmaj7 
You're weighed down
you're full of something
A 
of sickness and desertion
Dmaj7 
You're weighed down
you're full of something
A 
you're underneath it all

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Add9 chords keep the major or minor triad and add a 9th on top, giving a brighter sound. A short course covers the shapes and where they fit. Learn add9 chords

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner

It is designed for guitarists ready to move past the basics and capture the true feel of City And Colour's performance.
