G chordG D chordD
The air begins to feel a little thin
Bm chordBm A chordA
As I start the car and then I begin
G chordG D chordD
To add the miles piled up behind me
Bm chordBm A chordA
I barely feel a smile deep inside me

G chordG D chordD
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
Bm chordBm A chordA
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
G chordG D chordD
But then I remember when you packed my car
Bm chordBm A chordA
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart

G chordG D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA
For me to drive away with
G chordG D chordD Bm chordBm
I began to understand
A chordA G chordG
Why God died

G chordG D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA
[2x]

G chordG D chordD
The demon sat there waiting on her porch
Bm chordBm A chordA
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
G chordG D chordD
And when my car was far out of sight
Bm chordBm A chordA
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night

G chordG
And then I felt chills in my bones
D chordD
The breath I saw was not my own
Bm chordBm
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
A chordA
Wasn't made to play this game
G chordG
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
D chordD
He laid it out, what he had planned
Bm chordBm
And then I said, I'll take the grave
A chordA
Please, just send them all my way
[2x]

G chordG D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA

G chordG D chordD Bm chordBm
I began to understand
A chordA
Why God died

G chordG D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA
[2x]

G chordG D chordD
The air begins to feel a little thin
Bm chordBm A chordA
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
G chordG D chordD
But for now you told me to hold this jar
Bm chordBm
And when I looked inside, I saw
A chordA
It held your heart

G chordG D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA
For me to walk away with
G chordG D chordD Bm chordBm
I began to understand
A chordA
Why God died

G chordG D chordD

dude if you're that bothered by my suggestion to use a capo (which would literally be $7 or less out of pocket, not to mention the fact that you can make one out of a pencil and a rubber band) keep it to yourself lmao this was just my interpretation of the song

There's literally no reason this song should be capo'd. Do we honestly seem like a group of people who have money for that? In any case, for those who are also frustrated over this, the chord progression is as follows:

Bb,F,Dm,C throughout.

Again, easy open chords. The capo is needlessly complicated.
