Caraphernelia Pierce the Veil
This is my own interpretation of the song. I have changed the key slightly, mainly
because I enjoy how it sounds more in this key, but if you want to play it in the same
key of
the original song, change the F# and C# chords into C and F, and you should be good to
go. Also, listen to the song to get the strumming right, but you can be original and think
of your own strumming pattern if you think you like another way better. Remember, you
don't have to 100% cover a song, it can be personalized. I sadly could not find another,
more comfortable, way for you to play the outro. It's fairly easy, I just wish there was
a different way to play it. I also made it into standard tuning for those of you, like me,
who don't wish to change the tuning of their acoustic every time you play a new song. No
capo needed.

Intro:

Verse:
[Am]Sunshine;
There ain't a thing that you can [G#]do that's gonna ruin my night
But there's just something about
[Am]This dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy
[G#]Licking your fingers like you're [D#]done and
[D#]You've decided there [C#]is so much more than [Am]me.
Em G# Am, C#
And baby honestly it's harder breathing next to you, I shake
I brought a gun and as the [Bm]preacher tried to stop me,
Hold my heart it's [Am]beating for you anyway
Chorus:
[Am]What if I can't forget you?
[D#]I'll burn your n[C#]ame into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
[Am]What's so good about picking up the pieces?
[D#]None of the [C#]colors ever light up anymore in this [Am]hole
Oh..

Verse 2:
Nobody prays for th[Am]e heartless, no!
Nobody gives another [F#]penny for the selfish
You're learning how to [Bm]taste what you kill [Bm]now
Don't mind me, I'm just [Am]reaching for your necklace
[F#]Talking to my m[Bm]om about this lit[Bm]tle girl from Texas

Chorus:
[Am]What if I can't forget you?
[D#]I'll burn your [C#]name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
[Am]What's so good about picking up the pieces?
[D#]None of the [C#]colors ever light up anymore in this [Am]hole
[Am]Just give her back to me
[D#]You know I [C#]can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need
[Am]So baby what if I can't forget you?
Collide invisi[C#]ble lips like a [Am]shadow on the wall and just throw, oh [Em]no
You can't just throw me away!

[D#]None of the [C#]colors ever light up anymore in this [Am]hole
[Am]Just give her back to me
[D#]You know I [C#]can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need
[Am]So baby what if I can't forget you?
[D#]I'd better learn [C#]to live alone
[Am]What's so good abou[A]t picking up t[B]he pieces?
