Intro: D5

D5                    G5
Drive the road to your surrender
D5                              G5
Time comes around... out of my hands
D5                                       G5
Small boats on the beach at the dead of night
D5                        G5
Come and go before first light
D5                       G5
Leave me running in the wheel
D5           G5
King of the world
           A5
How do you feel?
        Ab5      E5
What is there to feel?

                 A5
So how do we now come to be
          F#5
Afraid of sunlight?
             A5
Tell me girl why you and me
          F#5
Scared of sunlight?

D5                   G5
Been in pain for so long
D5                           G5
I can't even say what hurts anymore
D5                G5
I will leave you alone
D5      G5
I will deny
A5            F#5
I will leave you to bleed
A5                     Ab5  E5
I will leave you with your life

                 A5
So how do we now come to be
          F#5
Afraid of sunlight?
             A5
Tell me girl why you and me
          F#5
Scared of sunlight?

A5
All your spirit rack abuses
F#5
Come to haunt you back by day
A5
All your Byzantine excuses
F#5
Given time, given you away

A5
Don't be surprised when daylight comes
F#5
To find that memory prick your thumbs
A5
You'll tell them where we run to hide
F#5
I'm already dead
                 E5
It's a matter of time

Instrumental part: A5 , F#5

                 A5
So how do we now come to be
          F#5
Afraid of sunlight
              A5
How do we now come to be
          F#5
Afraid of sunlight

For the part where the chorus goes on with the solo underneath it, just follow the same 
chord progression at the moments you hear the chords change. The rhythm is still the 
same, so you can play the same chords at the same moment as before.

              A5
Day-Glo Jesus on the dash
               F#5
Chalk marks on the road ahead
              A5
Friendly fire in hostile waters
         F#5
Keep the faith
                A5
Don't lose your head
A5                        E5
So how do we now come to be?
