   Hi there :)  The latest release from 'X' :) I bought 
the song from iTunes and tabbed it to that, so no link.
I'm sure it'll be on YouTube in no time, but go buy it! 
SUPPORT ED!!!!! :) http://smarturl.it/x-itunesdlx  

*UPDATE*
Ed posted the song on iTunes so here's the link :) Play this right along 
to get the timing :)  Also I left out quick *one strum chords that usually
mess people up, I'll add them in '( )' so if you want to play them you can-
just real quick half strums immediately strumming the next chord. Don't play
them if you don't want to.

Bm G Em A x2

..D                   (A*)      Bm
  Things were all good yesterday 
                            (D*)   G
And then the devil took your memory 
                       (D*)     G
And if you fell to your death today 
                                   D
I hope that heaven is your resting place 



                            (A*)      Bm  
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
                               (D*)     G 
But then that could've been the medicine
                           (D*)  A 
And now you're lying in the bed again
                                     G
Either way I'll cry with the rest of them




       D      Bm         A
And my father told me son
             Em               Bm            A
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
Em          Bm        G    A
  And you're  not the only one
            Em      D          A                     Bm
Although my grandma used to say, That he used to sing:




        G               D                Em       G
Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night
                A                               Bm
In your light inside of, a little while here ohh
        G              D              Em          G
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up 
                     A                      Bm
And we're wrapped in light, in life and love




         G            D            Em           G
Put your open lips on mine, slowly let them shut
               A                      Bm
For they're designed to be together ohh 
          G            D                    Em         G
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
               A                  Bm*
And we'll set alight, we're afire love



 G*       Em*  A*  D
Love.. love..



..D                   (A*)      Bm
  Things were all good yesterday
                             (D*)       G
And then the devil took your breath away
                       (D*)    G
And now we're left here in the pain 
                                         D
Black suit black tie standing in the rain



                    (A*)      Bm 
And now my family is one again 
                                   (D*)         G
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend
                                 (D*)       A
Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen 
                             G
Six years old I remember when 



       D      Bm         A
