okay so i used the Youth and Revolt cover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7duKnpLD-g0) of this to figure
out some parts of the song but the rest is by ear. it is in standard tuning and is 100% accurate. and last
of all these are not the chords real names i'm just using them so you know what i mean.

Lost and thrown away,

We are the strays, woah oh oh,
B#m B A
We are the strays.
[Verse 2]

Train tracks to the stage

[Pre-Chorus]
A (mute)
Hell is so close to Heaven,

Hell is so close to Heaven.

My whole life they said I'd be nothing,
Well I'm something.
