Biography:
The Amity Affliction is a alternative metal/melodic metalcore band originally from Gympie, Queensland. They have become one of the most well known hardcore bands in Australia through a strong touring ethic, a stunningly original sound and a commitment to creating a fun and exciting atmosphere within the scene.
It seemingly took The Amity Affliction years to get their music together, releasing a demo in 2003 and a self-titled EP in 2004, but from the moment they released their High Hopes EP in 2007, the touring rampage began.

Standard tuning
I would use a capo if you're playing regular chords, but obviously it's not needed if you're using
the barre chords, which I prefer
Chords (low e to high e)
I mute the low e on all the chords but it's optional
Also, you can play the regular chords but it sounds better with these:
Am 5 7 7 5 5 5
C 8 10 10 9 8 8
Em x 7 9 9 8 7
G 10 12 12 11 10 10
Bm 7 9 9 7 7 7
Intro:
Am C Em G x2
(no guitar)
Just take it all
G Bm
My heart, my mind, my every word from out of my lungs
C
My every breath and every thought
Em
And every word I've ever sung
G
And though I'm glad to help you out
Bm
And get your feet back on the ground
C
Please understand I'm just a man
You understand?
Em
I'm just a man
G
And I feel helpless when I stumble
Bm C (Em)
And my anxiety escapes
G
I lose all hope
Bm
And I'm afraid that once again
C
I've lost my place
Am C
I give it all
Em
and when I fall
G
I get up and give some more
Am C Em
Until there's nothing left of me
G
just some bones stacked on the floor
G
But every song's a two way street
Bm
I give to you, you give to me
C
And as long as that remains
Em
I will still haul my heavy feet
G
Because you're all worth every word
Bm
And yeah you're all here in my heart
C
And I know we can sing together
Em
To avoid falling apart
Am C
I give it all
Em
and when I fall
G
I get up and give some more
Am C Em
Until there's nothing left of me
G
just some bones stacked on the floor x2
Am
At the end of everything
Am Bm C Am
This is for you, this is for me
Am
Your fight to overcome defeat
Am
Has set the skies alight for me
(no guitar)
I give it all

and when I fall
