play these over and over and you got the song (minus the bridge)
I believe in clean breaks
I keep the old troubles away
But you're making sure
I was lying when I said
I can leave this behind
I need you to ruin me.
For this finally
'Cause it's bearing me
Now
I'm in these old knots
Each move keeps me locked away.
With each new embrace
I've tied myself up
More tightly
Into you.
Oh, but the more I fight
And the deeper I'm trapped
And I can't break free
Of this hold that you have
And I crave you more
Under the heat of your touch
And I need your skin
To ruin me
For this wicked town
Where your ghosts are bound
To me.
One last sacrifice
For this ritual
Stay (I believe)
This ritual
(In clean breaks)

version 2
Tuning: Half step down, tune g-string another step down (Eb,Ab,Db,E,Bb,Eb)
I know the tuning looks funny, but after listening to the way the strings ring out, this
is the only way I can figure he plays it. Try it out, it has a very cool sound. The
song is all in 5/4 except for the bridge which is standard 4/4. Also, on the bridge it
is really hard to hear what he is playing, so I just gave it my best shot.

He uses those chords but doesn't stay completely in that order. It sounds like he goes
Em,G,Am,G,Am,G and then repeats.
