The Devil Wears Prada - Salt (Acoustic)

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
Am C F G6 (x2)

[Verse]
Am C
I can never process
G6
What I’m feeling in my bones
Am C
Like a sickness
G6
That I can’t diagnose

[Pre-chorus]
F G6
Some days I think I’m afraid of my shadow
Am Bsus
I show up to fight at all the wrong battles
F G6
And I don’t think my mind will be right ’til I

[Chorus]
Am C
Pour the salt into the wound
F
Let the rain wash over you
G6 Am C
If everything I said was true
F
Then why am I paralyzed?

Am C F G6

Am C F

[Verse]
Am C G6
Watch the grass blow in the wind for the hell of it
Am C G6
And sometimes I get so caught up that I forget (how could I forget?)

[Pre-chorus]
F G6
That all of our words only mean what’s behind them
Am Bsus
You can’t throw gasoline on a fire
F G6
And say you tried to put it out

[Chorus]
Am
Pour the salt into the wound
C F G6
Let the rain wash over you
Am C
If everything I said was true
G6
Then why am I
Am C
Hiding from the blinding lights?
F G6
I never had an alibi
Am C
If everything I said was true
G6
Then why am I, why am I still paralyzed?

Am C

[Bridge]
G6 Am
Why am I still paralyzed?
F
Step back as the ashes rise
C
Embers up toward the sky
G6
With all the things that I can’t find

[Chorus]
Am C
Pour the salt into the wound
F
Let the rain wash over you
Am C
If everything I said was true
G6
Then why am I
Am C
Hiding from the blinding lights?
F G6
I never had an alibi
Am C
If everything I said was true
G6
Then why am I, why am I still paralyzed?

Am C F G6

Am C
Still paralyzed

F G
