CAPO 2
This way of playing in the key of A is a lot like the way most people play in the
key of E. I "invented" it, but I'm sure there've been countless people who've
already been playing it in this manner.

C#m D
Verse:
E F#m D
I listen to the sirens as they sing me back to sleep
E F#m D
I pray that no one's seriously hurt
E F#m D
It feels like everything is dying at the pivot point of me
E F#m D
I listen to the sirens tell me things could still be worse
Pre-chorus:
D E
Cause if you close your eyes and listen close
F#m A
You can hear the chapter close
D E
And its all rebound in better clothes
F#m A
And you like the way this story goes
D E
Cause the sun still burns the shadows out
F#m C#m D
And there's nothing to complain about now
Chorus:
D E
Cause if this was our destiny I'd treasure the fact
F#m D
And I'd give you whats left of me if I'd held back
D E
But I don't need a soul
F#m D
No I don't need a soul to hold
D E
Without you I'm still whole
F#m D
You and life remain beautiful
Verse 2:
E F#m
Departing from the hospital
D
Ill news shows on your face too well
E F#m D
You're trying not to cough at all it hurts
E F#m D
All options are exhausted all your numbered days are numbered small
E F#m
I miss you now, I loved you
D
And I know things could still be worse
Side-notes/Clarifications:
- For the intro, the A, E, and F#m are constant. The D/C#m/C#m + D are endings that you use.
- After the chorus the first time through, when you sing "You and life remain beautiful"
put in the lyrics above), you can play a different E before going in the the standard E
to the song for it)

- Don't be hating because this is wrong. >_> This song was pretty hard to get the chords
not because the chords were anything non-standard, but it's really hard to hear
properly. :P
