If you're playing the electric parts, I suggest you play power chords for the verse and 
just single

root notes for the second part of the verse, and strum the chorus. That sounds the best 
to me but feel

free to have fun and strum however you please :)

Intro:
E5 G5 D5 B5 (3x)
E5 G5 B5 E5

Verse 1.1
Bury me in silence
For I'll never hear the truth

E5 G5 D5 B5

My coffin will be empty
Cause you'll never steal my youth

E5 G5 D5 B5


VERSE 1.2

      E5             G5
I was born to live beside you
          A5               B5
But you tried to stop me grow
        E5            G5
Now I'm living on the run
               A5              B5
From all this hatred you now love
     E5          G5
Who said it only rains
         B5       E5
From the heavens above

"short" CHORUS
G5                            E5
  Speed of darkness lights our way
G5                           E5
  We set our course for America
D5                            E5
  No bitterness will bite my tongue
D5                            A5
 The speed of darkness has begun

    E5  G5  D5  B5
(Begun)

E5 G5 D5 B5

VERSE 2.1 and 2.2 same as before
It's something of a pity
But you'll never understand
How a boy can grow and
Still never be a man

I would trade the sun for nothing
And the glancing of a star
If you could just remember
Grains of dust is all we are
It only takes a second
For a beat to kill a heart

CHORUS 2
G5                            E5
 Speed of darkness lights our way
G5                          E5
 We set our course for America
D5                              E5
 No bitterness will bite this tongue
                                  G5
 I've reconciled with all that's gone
              D5              A5
 The speed of darkness has begun


INTERLUDE
F#5                    B5
   Only time and life will tell
F#5                                D5        A5
   But it's a long way home when you're in hell
F#5                             B5
   Where constant demons fracture souls
F#5                            D5         A5
   Once a nightmare, now just lifeless ghosts

SOLO
B5 D5 (2x)

BRIDGE
G5          B5                A5
 Speed of darkness lights our way

VERSE 3.1 and 3.2 same as before
You tore this land asunder
But my pride will bring it back

I would trade the sun for nothing
And the glancing of a star
If you could just remember
Grains of dust is all we are
It only takes a second
For beat to kill a heart

CHORUS 2

OUTRO
E5 G5 D5 B5 3x
E5 G5 B5 E5

That's it, this song is fun as hell to play. Enjoy
