A Car A Torch A Death chords

A Car A Torch A Death

• D

One of my favorite songs ever by probably my favorite band. I figured it out on piano  
then transcribed it to guitar but I might need a little correcting or i could at least use  
some ideas of how to make it better so comment please!

Capo on 3rd 

Not sure of either of these D chords, whether they should be a little "special" or both  
just a regular D chord 

      D-alt     D*

    G                             D-alt 
The air begins to feel a little thin 
     D*                           A 
As I start the car and then I begin 
   G                         D-alt 
To add the miles piled up behind me 
  D*                           A 
I barely feel a smile deep inside me 

      G                                D-alt 
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south 
          D*                             A 
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out 
     G                              D-alt 
But then I remember when you packed my car 
    D*                                  A 
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart 

    G     D-alt D*   A 
For me to drive away with 
  G        D-alt    D* 
I began to understand 
   A         G 
Why God died 

G D-alt D* A 
2x 

    G                            D-alt 
The demons sat there waiting on her porch 
         D*                             A 
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch 
    G                          D-alt 
And when my car was far out of sight 
   D*                                         A 
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night 

           G 
And then I felt chills in my bones 
             D-alt 
The breath I saw was not my own 
          D* 
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame 
        A 
Wasn't made to play this game 
            G 
And then I saw Him, torch in hand 
            D-alt 
He laid it out, what he had planned 
           D* 
And then I said, I'll take the grave 
              A 
Please, just send them all my way 
2x 

G D-alt D* A 

  G        D-alt   D* 
I began to understand 
  A 
Why God died 

G D-alt D* A 
2x 

    G                            D-alt 
The air begins to feel a little thin 
         D*                          A 
As we're waiting for the morning to begin 
G                                D-alt 
But for now you told me to hold this jar 
           D* 
And when I looked inside, I saw 
         A 
It held your heart 

    G     D-alt   D* A 
For me to walk away with 
  G         D-alt  D* 
I began to understand 
  A 
Why God died 

G D
