[Intro]
 
D B A G
 
 
[Verse]
 
D                 Bm
Hope dangles on a string
                      A                              G
Like slow spinning redemption Winding in and winding out
                               D
The shine of it has caught my eye And roped me in
  Bm              A
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
      A
I am captivated...I am
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                 G                       Bm
 Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right
 
          A                          D
I swear I knew it all along And I am flawed
 
         G
But I am cleaning up so well
      Bm                               A
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
   D
So clear
                          Bm                        A
Like the diamond in your ring Cut to mirror your intentions
 
                    G                                       D
Oversized and overwhelmed The shine of which has caught my eye
 
                  Bm            A
And rendered me So isoloated, so motivated
 
      A
I am certain now that I am....
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                 G                       Bm
 Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right
 
          A                          D
I swear I knew it all along And I am flawed
 
         G
But I am cleaning up so well
      Bm                               A
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
 
 
[Bridge]
 
  G
So turn
                       Bm
Up the corners of your lips
                             A                          G
Part them and feel my finger tipsTrace the moment, fall forever
 
G                         Bm
Defense is paper thin Just,one touch and I'd be in
     A                       A
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
                 D                     Bm
(So let me slip away.. So let me slip away
               A
So let me slip Away
                 G
So let me slip against the current 2x)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                 G                       Bm
 Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right
 
          A                          D
I swear I knew it all along And I am flawed
 
         G
But I am cleaning up so well
      Bm                               A
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
 
 
[Outro]
 
        D
Slight hope
                Bm
It dangles on a string
                      A
Like slow spinning redemption...
 
Note: They play this a half step up than how i wrote it. I wrote it this way to make it
to read since these chords are basic chords. Example, instead of writing A# i just wrote
because im asuming you are playing in E standard tuning. If you want this to sound just 
the song. Just tune your guitar half a step higher and play the chords as if you
playing it on E standard. I would tune the guitar half step up instead of playing the
chords on E standard to make it easier on your hands but the choice is up to you. Any

You could just put a capo on the first fret and the use the chords that are given and the song sounds just fine if you don't want to tune up a half-step.
