Starts out:
E -----------------------|  *During these lyrics (listen...lies),  
B ------3-p-1-3---3---3--|  Lindsey starts out with the main lick on the  
G ----2------------------|  left but then just picks notes around that 
D --0-----------0---0----|  same formation.  It's not complicated to 
A -----------------------|  figure out when playing along with the song.  
E -----------------------|  He ends it with the lick shown at the bottom.
                            
Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love, Damn your lies

Ends with:

Dm
And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
                     Bb5
I can still hear you saying
           C5
You would never break the chain.  x2

Listen to the wind blow
Down comes the night
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light

And if
You don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying       x3
You would never break the chain.
