It's kindof hard to tell if he's doing fancier chords than what I'm hearing
because of the voices constantly over top of the guitar. But this is what I 
play when I'm singing it so hopefully it's at least a start.

1,2,3 and 

C         G        Am       X2
(Do do do do do do... etc)


C                 G                  Am
    I heard the wings beat on the wind tonight 
C              G                     Am
    As the heat stole power from the darkening light. 
F              G                   C                 F
    I saw the streets fill up with people that I knew, 
F              G    
    People who looked like you. 


Am                     F               Am
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
       Am             F             Am
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break


C                     G        Am
    Drift through the streets, walk between the cars
    C                G              Am
    Newborn sons and daughters spat forth from distant stars
F                     G              C                          F  
    The summer will reveal itself to those whose hearts are true
F                   G            
    And to the faithless few


Am                     F               Am
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
       Am             F             Am
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
                                       

F            G        Em       F                 
    Who will rise and who will sink?
F                                  G                   F   
    Who's going to stand his ground and who's going to blink?
          Am                         F    Am                           
    Surge forward from Van Cortlandt Park ... like frightened sheep
C                       G                    Am                      
    Spirit throngs that hoist us high, three thousand warriors deep
F                       G           C                         F          
    Spray our dreams on any surface where the paint will stick
F                          G                            
    Try to time the rhythm, listen for the click


Am                     F               Am
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
       Am             F             Am (N.C.)
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
