Momento Mori

This is my favourite track from Antimasque's self-title debut album. Song's harmonic 
structure is quite
straightforward, but Omar plays chord variations is the song to make it sound dynamic, 
which I haven't yet
mastered. I thought I'd share the basic chords. Hope you find it helpful.

Verse
Cm                      Bb                          Ab
She was tied up to the tracks in the middle of the road
                  Cm                        Bb                         Ab               G
Clutching to the thorns of a rose that she fought but she couldn't let go, couldn't let go
Cm                Bb                             Ab
Pirched upon his lungs, she was tapping at his chest
         Cm                           Bb                 Ab         G
I'll be hiding in the dreams of your last will and testament, testament

Pre-chorus
Bb                                                              G
And if the only way out was just a straight ahead admission of guilt
         Bb                                                     G
Then he wouldn't be sitting in the darkness, sharpening every excuse

Chorus
             Cm  Bb          Ab                                  Cm  Bb
You hit the bottle, but you can't drink the yellow out of your spine
        Ab
If you would, if you would, if you would
             Cm  Bb          Ab                                  Cm  Bb
You hit the bottle, but you can't drink the yellow out of your spine
        Ab
If you would, if you would, if you would

Verse
Cm                Bb                          Ab
Smothered by the time that he could never forget
         Cm                            Bb                         Ab               G
Disassociation in the comfort of his dreams that she wouldn't let go, wouldn't let go
Cm                Bb                      Ab
And everytime he woke up in the coldest sweat
                 Cm                           Bb                           Ab            
   G
Scrawled to the bone with her nails was the promise that she wouldn't let go, wouldn't 
let go

Pre-chorus
Bb                                                              G
And if the only way out was just a straight ahead admission of guilt
         Bb                                                     G
Then he wouldn't be sitting in the darkness, sharpening every excuse

Chorus
             Cm  Bb          Ab                                  Cm  Bb
You hit the bottle, but you can't drink the yellow out of your spine
        Ab
If you would, if you would, if you would
             Cm  Bb          Ab                                  Cm  Bb
You hit the bottle, but you can't drink the yellow out of your spine
        Ab
If you would, if you would, if you would

Bridge
Eb                  Bb           Cm
She will swing the hammer every night
G                Bb               Cm
Sleeping in the ditch beyond the pines
Eb                    Bb          Cm
She must breathe the water every night
G              Bb                  Cm
Taking every breath that you've denied

Eb                  Bb           Cm
She will swing the hammer every night
G                Bb
Sleeping in the ditch
G                Bb
Sleeping in the ditch
G                Bb               Cm
Sleeping in the ditch beyond the pines

Chorus
             Cm  Bb          Ab                                  Cm  Bb
You hit the bottle, but you can't drink the yellow out of your spine
        Ab
If you would, if you would, if you would
             Cm  Bb          Ab                                  Cm  Bb
You hit the bottle, but you can't drink the yellow out of your spine
        Ab
If you would, if you would, if you would
