IÂ’m not 100% sure on this but it sounds close. The G# name isnÂ’t right itÂ’s something
so for ease IÂ’m just going to put it as G#. Also the chord might not be totally right. The
beginning is missing and how he ends the song is missing. The verses are all muted with
eighth note strumming or however you word that. The “A-X”s are the A chord
followed by the muted strumming. I donÂ’t know if he is doing this but it sorta sounds
it. The “\” in the last Chorus are to show the downstrokes he does. Just watch the video
youÂ’ll understand what IÂ’m talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMQGEyW5AV0

Verse 1:

IÂ’m stuck with these sins
IÂ’m hopinÂ’ maybe time can resolve them
IÂ’m a lying cheating fiend and coward

His death is my only device
Ya death is my only device

Verse 3:
X
Now if history is violence and sex
IÂ’d rather not pay my respects

IÂ’ve been given this a lot of thought
