Salt (Acoustic)

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
Am C F G6 (x2)
 
[Verse]
              Am      C
I can never process
          G6
What I'm feeling in my bones
        Am       C
Like a sickness
     G6
That I can't diagnose
 
[Pre-chorus]
F                     G6
Some days I think I'm afraid of my shadow
  Am                Bsus
I show up to fight at all the wrong battles
    F                                        G6
And I don't think my mind will be right 'til I
 
[Chorus]
                 Am          C
Pour the salt into the wound
                   F
Let the rain wash over you
G6               Am           C
If everything I said was true
             F
Then why am I paralyzed?
 
Am C F G6
 
Am C F
 
[Verse]
Am          C                            G6
Watch the grass blow in the wind for the hell of it
             Am               C               G6
And sometimes I get so caught up that I forget (how could I forget?)
 
[Pre-chorus]
F                           G6
That all of our words only mean what's behind them
Am                 Bsus
You can't throw gasoline on a fire
F                            G6
And say you tried to put it out
 
[Chorus]
Am
Pour the salt into the wound
C                        F     G6
Let the rain wash over you
                 Am        C
If everything I said was true
            G6
Then why am I
                  Am      C
Hiding from the blinding lights?
            F        G6
I never had an alibi
                  Am       C
If everything I said was true
            G6
Then why am I, why am I still paralyzed?
 
Am C
 
[Bridge]
               G6         Am
Why am I still paralyzed?
                 F
Step back as the ashes rise
       C
Embers up toward the sky
     G6
With all the things that I can't find
 
[Chorus]
                Am       C
Pour the salt into the wound
                  F
Let the rain wash over you
                Am        C
If everything I said was true
               G6
Then why am I
                  Am      C
Hiding from the blinding lights?
               F      G6
I never had an alibi
                 Am        C
If everything I said was true
            G6
Then why am I, why am I still paralyzed?
 
Am C F G6
 
             Am   C
Still paralyzed
 
F G
 
Am
