Lost- Owen
Tuning: DADF#AD Capo 11
This is my rough tab/chord chart for the new Owen song.
I'm fairly sure the bass notes and tuning are correct, but the notes on the fourth and fifth strings
were difficult to hear.
I also like to play it in D#A#D#GA#D# with capo 10 to make it easier to reach the notes.
There are probably a few mistakes, but i think this is a good start.

Stay poor, and die trying

Take the drugs I didn't take

Lay the whores I didn't lay

Bury your burdens underneath

Your lover's skin

Pack a bag and pick a fight
D#
Lead with your left

And leave while your lies still breathe
C#
Wherever you arrive
D#
Pick another fight
F C#(2)
And leave the fucking bad behind

You may be wondering

You're lost, but at least

And if so, how do you know?

C# D#
'Cause I do when I see you
F C#(2)
But you can't see me

You may be wandering

A ghost without a house to haunt

That you want what I am
C#
No one believes you
