I didn't get to figure out the B chord - it's similar to a B7, so I'll assume it's a
in any case, it's not minor. Also, the song is in 6/4 - I think that's the best fit, at
- but there are a few mixed meter things to watch out for.  Lastly, I see no reason not 
play this in standard tuning, even though I'm sure Thrice does it dropped. (And all the
fall over the word they happen on.)

 AmI (x02210@1)stand on the cliffs with my son next to me;
     DmThis (xx0231@1)island our prison, our home.
    AmAnd (x02210@1)everyday we look out at the sea;
     DmThis (xx0231@1)place is all he's ever known.

    AmBut (x02210@1)I've got a plan and some wax and some string;
     DmSome (xx0231@1)feathers I stole from the birds.
       Am (x02210@1)                                            DmAnd (xx0231@1)we leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing a song that's too perfect for words.

        [B]
They're coming undone; they're splitting at the seams.

[There's a little melodic riff here that repeats for a long time, but I don't do tabs
putting the notes would probably just confuse everyone, so moving along...]

   F (133211@1)               DmOh (xx0231@1)gods, why is this happening to me?
      Am (x02210@1)                          CAll (x32010@1)I wanted was a new life, for my son to grow up free.
            F (133211@1)                            DmAnd (xx0231@1)now you took the only thing that meant anything to me.
        Am (x02210@1)                   CI (x32010@1)will never fly again; I will hang up my wings

[Repeat]

   F (133211@1)     DmOh (xx0231@1)gods!

Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1)[Repeat and fade out]


This is an incredible song, and probably my favorite on the entire Alchemy Index.  If
figures out the B chord, send me an IM on AIM.  I'm curious.
