Without all the other instrumentation, playing a C5 sounds a little off.

Intro

C#m A C#m A

Verse 
C#m                                                   A    
Stumbling through the dark with a broken heart, all alone at it once again 
       C#m                             A                           
Seeping in like a feeling you haven't felt since way back when 
        C#m                                                    
In the dead of that night, like the Summer of Sam 
           A                                                   
I caught word of the commotion you cause via telegram 
        C#m                   A          B (rest)                       
And got all worked up, we got all worked up

Chorus
        C#m                                                          
I found a way,
          A                    E                                   
Over the fear and through the flames
          B                C#m                                                    
Im diving in, don't follow me
A                        E              C5                        
Stay right here I'll be back for you someday
           C#m                                               
I found a way,
         A               E                  
It'd be best if you just stayed
          B             C#m                             
It's not safe don't follow me
          A               B                                         
I found a way, I found a way

Closing in the lights of a locomotive
 A                                       
Tied to the tracks again
      C#m                                           A              
You said you haven't felt this comotosed since you can't remember when
     C#m                          A                       B (rest)        
Fly off the handle every time we sleep, straight off the deep

Chorus
        C#m                                                          
I found a way,
          A                    E                                   
Over the fear and through the flames
          B                C#m                                             
Im diving in, don't follow me
A                        E              C5                        
Stay right here I'll be back for you someday
           C#m                                               
I found a way,
         A               E                  
It'd be best if you just stayed
          B             C#m                             
It's not safe don't follow me
          A               B                                         
I found a way, I found a way

Sharp and damning, violently stabbing at secrecy
                      A                                
That look on your face, its more than I can take
      Abm         A            E (Strum Once)
It's scaring the living hell straight out of me. (straight out of me)
