Embrace
[Verse 1]
F#m B
Holding my head
G A
For the last of race
F#m B
Pushing my body
G A
To get that embrace
[Chorus]
A B
It won’t last
Em F#m
Hold on fast
A B
It won’t last
Em F#m
Hold on fast
[Verse 2]
F#m B
Breathing in time
G A
So hard to trace
F#m B
Crushing your skull
G A
With my warming embrace
[Chorus]
A B
It won’t last
Em F#m
Hold on fast
A B
It won’t last
Em F#m
Hold on fast
[Verse 3]
F#m B
I fell down the stairs
G A
I wished I were dead
F#m B
You ran toward the light
G A
He handed me your head
[Chorus]

It won’t last
Em F#m
Hold on fast
A B
It won’t last
Em F#m
Hold on fast

version 2
Tuning: D A D F# A D
Key: Bm
[Author's notes]
Alan Sparhawk said on Twitter that he played this song on a baritone guitar.
It seems to be tuned ADADF#A, which is incredibly low - on a standard electric guitar,
the strings will probably be too floppy to play. My acoustic is just barely
playable at that tuning.
So I have provided two versions of each chord: the right column is in the original tuning,
and the left column is a version in Open D which is more practical on a standard instrument
but sounds pretty close to the original.
