tried looking for the chords of this song but couldn't find any.
so i thought i'd make one.
oh, by the way, i think Matthew Perryman Jones is awesome...

intro: E A E A

E
Sad like a melody sung by a symphony
A             Am
striking a chord.
E
Standing here looking blind,
                          A               Am
stumble around to find my way through your door.

D+6add9             E
Do you wanna know why?
D+6add9             E
Do you wanna know why?

Bridge: A E A

E
Hungry as starving fire killing to feed desire.
A           Am
What do you do?
E
We?re born into vanity, bones feeling everything.
A         Am
Are we alone?

D+6add9             E
Do you wanna know why?
D+6add9            E
Cuz I wanna know why

A   Am   E
Say it, Amelia
A   Am   E
Say it?s true,
D+6add9                   Am        A
that life?s worth all the dying we do.
     E
Oh, Amelia

Bridge: D+6add9 E x2

A   Am   E
Say it, Amelia
A   Am   E
Say it?s true,
D+6add9                   Am        A
that life?s worth all the dying we do.
     E
Oh, Amelia

Bridge: A E A

E
A beautiful melody sung by a symphony,
A                    Am
you?re striking a chord.

END

things to remember:

1) when playing the verse parts, all A notes should be played as so:

e| x
B| x
G| 2
D| 2
A| x
E| -

while the rest of the A notes should be played like:

e| x
B| 2
G| 2
D| 2
A| x
E| -

2) for the D+6add9:

e| x
B| x
G| 3
D| 4
A| 5
E| -

3) before "Oh, Amelia" i found that it sounds better to stop strumming after A and 
on E. let it hanging on for a bit.

4) i just learned guitar a few months ago so comments and improvements are welcome.
