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. THESE CHORDS BELOW ARE RELATIVE TO THE CAPO A E F#m D C#m F#|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0--------| C#|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0--------| A |--2-----1-----2-----7-----6--------| E |--2-----2-----2-----7-----6--------| B |--0-----2-----x-----5-----4--------| F#|--------0-----2--------------------| Intro: A E F#m D C#m 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) F#|---0---| C#|---0---| A |---9---| E |---9---| < RELATIVE TO CAPO B |---7---| F#|---0---| - 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
