How to play "Yours To Keep"

In preparation for the next release (which will probably be Extras) ...and the fact that I even remembered it... here's how to play "Yours To Keep"

You can listen to the song here

"Yours To Keep" (demo)

VERSE 1:
(X02210) (X20210) (X32010) (X54030)
With no distractions here at hand

(X02210) (X20210) (X32010) (X33210)
I should be happy where I am

(X02210) (X20210) (X32010) (X54030)
And when I'm in this state of mind, I'm far

(X02210) (X20210) (X32010) (X33210)
away, I'm far... away

CHORUS:
(320022) (X33210)
I'll bite the knife and dive in time to save you (4x)

VERSE 2:
The words that fail me once again
Could offer something then it ends
And when I'm in this slow decline
They fall away, They fall away

CHORUS:
(320022) (X33210)
I'll bite the knife and dive in time to save you (4x)

BRIDGE:
Am Em G D

MAIN CHORDS:
(X02210) (X20210) (X32010) (X54030)
(X02210) (X20210) (X32010) (X33210)

CHORUS CHORDS:
G F
(out)

There it is, remembered most of the song... had the chords above the words but they wouldn't stay put. I'm not sure I even wrote the lyrics out for this one so I had to decipher my own mumblings from the recording (good times). The music was written in the winter of '09 and the words last year. Like most, I have no idea what it's about. Usually takes on different meanings over time. Enjoy.

Extras should be out sometime next year!
