Handwritten (Album) Chords

Updated first post, if I linked to another site despite chords being figured out here, it was just because they included lyrics. No offense to anyone!

Anybody have Desire?

I'll get on Desire in a few minutes. Just gotta finish listening to a really good song.

Alright, so, Desire.

It's in standard Gaslight Anthem tuning (one whole step down) so when you see A-minor it's actually a G-minor in theory, but you play as if it were an A-minor. You get the point.

Intro and verse
Am - C - G - F

Chorus
C - G - Am - F - G

Bridge
E - Am - F
F - G - Am
F - G - Am
G

The first little guitar doodle you hear, right before everything kicks in, is just A# and F, so that's the first fret on the B string and the third fret on the E string.

Alright, thanks! I'll add that to the post.

Any chance we can get Teenage Rebellion, guys who are really great at doing chords?

I'm going to type everything out as if it's in Am, but it's actually tuned down one whole step so it's in Gm but it's easier this way.

Intro + Verse
Am - F - Am - F
Am - F - C - G

Pre-chorus (uh-huh part)
Am - G - F - G


chorus
C - F
C - F
G

If you're gonna break my heart-part
F - G - C

outro
C - G - F

Awright, much appreciated.

Does anyone know that mini riff that is played in handwritten? I've watched a couple of Brian's acoustic performances where he plays it but it doesn't show his hands. I know of the handwritten tabs online has it, but it doesn't sound right to me.

Thanks

During what part?

He plays it in the intro
At the end of what's your favorite song?
at the end of i've been crying to it since i was young
during the bridge...

it doesn't look complicated at all, it looks likes it just 0h2 on the d and a strings (tuned down) that he plays twice but maybe i'm wrong.

The notes are
C-D-F-G-F-D-C

Seeing as the guitar is tuned one step down, they're played as follows:
C - Loose D string
D - Second fret of the D string
F - Loose G string
G - Second fret of the G string
