This is an old revision of the document!
G: 320003
C: x32010
Cmaj7: x32000
Em: 022000
D: xx0232
Dsus2: xx0230
Fmaj7: x33210
The Em can be replaced with an Em7 (022030) if you prefer; both chords sound lovely.
Intro is the verse progression

Lie down in the dirt

Cling to my convictions

Even when I get hurt

The losing side

Without any reservations
You found my breaking point

Torch the bridge
I don’t want to die in here
I don’t want to die in here
