The song can be played in Drop D or standard, but Aaron plays it in Drop D,
and that's by far the easier way to play of the two. That being said, I'm
writing out the chords in Drop D. So if you want to play it in standard, you
can figure out how to do an F6sus2 yourself, because my hands can't contort
like that.

In the verses, when you see (C7M), you can either play that chord or
continue playing Am9. Either way sounds fine. Chords followed by an
asterisk* are fingerpicked.

A5 ( C5 )
12th and Hide on a Sunday
F6sus2 G64
Feeling like we're gold
A5 ( C5 ) F69 G64
And we're nothing short of invincible
A5 C5 F69 G64
Invincible
A5 C5 F69 G64
Invincible
A5
It starts again
( C5 )
Can you feel it?
F6sus2 G64
It takes your breath away
A5 ( C5 ) F69
Stop saying that we're invincible
G64
It's round and round
A5 F69 G64 E5
You're uninviting, unrewarding
A5 F69
And I'm misinforming you
G64 E5
Misinforming you
F69 A5
We all want to be
G64
We want to be somebody
F5 A5 G64
Right now we're just looking for the exit
C5 C5 C5 C5
A5 C5 F69 G64
This is the way I would have done things
A5 C5
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
F6sus2 G64
You've got me up against your wall
A5 C5 F69 G64
This is the way I would have done things
A5 C5
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
F6sus2 G64
You've got me up against your wall
A5 ( C5 )
It's you and me on a Monday
F6sus2 G64
The lies that we told
A5 ( C5 ) F69 G64
This is where we both go numb now
Am9 F6sus2 G64
You broke my heart again this time
E5 A5 F69
You're fading now, you crossed the line
G64 E5
You crossed the line
F69 A5
We all want to be,
G64
We want to be somebody
F5 A5 G64
Right now we're just looking for the exit
A5 C5 F69 G64
This is the way I would have done things
A5 C5
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
F6sus2 G64
You've got me up against your wall
A5 C5 F69 G64
This is the way I would have done things
A5 C5
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
F6sus2 G64
You've got me up against your wall
A5 A5 F69 G64
Reaching out for a hand that's not there
A5 A5 F69 G64
But you're not there and I'm not...
