Hi! This is my first tab, I hope I did it well and I'am Spanish too, so please forgive
my spelling mistakes.
 I saw a video on youtube of a concert os this song and I think the cords are wright, I
had a doubt with the tune, I think they are one tone down (2 half step down or whatever)
but I did it with the normal tone EADGBE. And also say that I didn't know how to explain 
the bridge, It's kind of mutting? (I'm sure it is not the word but probably you
understood me If you know the song)
Here it goes. This group is reeaally good.
Althought the chords are fifths, Brian, as I could see in the video play it like a
normal chord, I mean, Down Up Down ... strokes.

  A5
Goodbye circus wheel
        F5
May you rest along the sea
      C5
I have given you the fire of my youth
        G5
And the triumph o're my enemies
  A5                                    F5
Goodbye fair weather home, and your faithless factories
           C5
I have given you the blood and the truth
           G5
from the wounds they laid onto me
      A5                G5                    F5
And whatever they left, well, I kept it for my own heart

Chorus:
    C5
And the lonesome all understand
           G5
With the choirs in my head
               A5
And we were orphans before
                            F5
We were ever the sons of regret

My baby

    C5
And on and on and on
     G5
the alphabet boys carry on

      A5
We were orphans before

                    F5                     C5
We were ever the sons of these songs                  Hey!

Verse2:
             A5
And now my lights, they never go down
                F5
they waltz the moon and stars for me now
            C5
So you can find some local libertine
                 G5
to take your daughters out on the town
            A5
And I can feel it in my aging bones
              F5
How the sound of the rain mixes up
             C5                           G5
into the fountains where I drank my hero's blood
                                                                                    A5
         G5            F5
So I left you to find my very own hat full of rain

Chorus

Now I'm trying to keep it straight               |  BRIDGE
Learning all the streets and the alleyways       |I dont know how to explain
And learning where they lead                     |In the video you can see it
Now that I'm left alone here to drive            |well
But it's so hard to stand on your own            |Mute your strings
Against mirror of glass, hard and cold           |
But the clothes I wore                           |
Just don't fit my soul anymore                   |
         A5
No the clothes I wore
       G5                 F5
Just don't fit my soul anymore

Chorus


         C5
When we were young
                 G5
We were diamond Sinatras
        A5                 F5
Like something I saw in a dream
       C5
We kept our secrets in rooms
          G5
locked up tight like a tomb
    A5                F5              C5
Where the ballerinas lay
