INTRO: A5, E5, B5, C#5, A5, E5, B5, B5  --> Play 1X with just 1st guitar, then the drums 
everything come in and you play it another 1X

VERSE 1:

     A5          E5(ii)
Took 25 years of climbing these stairs

   B5     C#5         A5   E5(ii)
To realise    my destination

     B5                E5   (B5)
In a world that let me down

A5               E5(ii)
Funny how when a good thing's found

   B5           C#5             A5      E5(ii)
We let it slide     Take it for granted

        B5
Like we don't need it around

CHORUS:

       A5       E5(ii) B5
By the time you figure out

              C#5
If you should be here

  A5       E5(ii)  B5
I hope I'm still around

       A5       E5(ii) B5
By the time you get in line

         C#5
To buy a seat here

  A5        E5(ii) B5
I hope I'm still around

intro again

VERSE 2:

     A5          E5(ii)
Took 25 years of saying these prayers

   B5      C#5            A5    E5(ii)
To realize     that my salvation

      A5           E5
Would never let me down

A5               E5(ii)
Funny how when a good thing's found

   B5            C#5             A5     E5(ii)
We let it slide,     take it for granted

        B5
Like we don't need it around


REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE: C#5  B5  A5  A5  C#5  B5  A5  E5(ii)  C#5  B5  A5  A5              E5(ii)  F#5   
1X  this is the part where just guitar 1 is playing, everything else comes in on Brige 2

BRIDGE 2: C#5, B5, A5, A5, C#5, 
A5, E5(ii), C#5, B5, A5, A5, E5, B5

REPEAT CHORUS
