I'll only plot the first verse, the one interlude, and the chorus. The rest of the song
the same progressions.
Verse:
He said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
Em Riff1 (Am)
I'm gonna put it six feet underground
He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
Em Riff1 (Am)
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls
repeat until
Interlude:
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah...
Chorus:
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
Bb Am C/G Em Riff1
They said start as you mean to go on
Am C/G Em Riff1 Am C/G Em
Start as you mean to go on
