Tuning:1/2 down           chords used:
eb                                         C#m    (xx0231)
bb                                         E      (xx3211)
gb                                         F#m/C# (x5533x)
db                                         B5     (x3201x)
ab                                         B      (x32013)

                                           A      (x1333x)

also if for some reason you want to play it in standard or if its just easier to see the chord
shapes here are there names when in standard although the band does play this 
tuned to half step down a very clean guitar sound with maybe a little delay

Dm      (xx0231)
F       (xx3211)
Gm/D    (x5533x)
C       (x3201x)
C+      (x32013)
F     (x33211)
Bb      (x1333x)

verse
C#m                 F#m/C#
I remember the time so well
B5                     E/B
looking back you could never tell
A                        C#m   B5  A
what you meant when you said   to  me
A                 F#m/C#       B5  B (just hammer on that last chord then pull off back to b5)
this is how it was going       to be


C#m                   F#m/C#
in your apartment up in the back
B5                       E/B
i was peaking through a window crack
A                  C#m      B5  A
looking out at a straight fall back
A                  F#m/C#  B5    B 
you looked over at me      and said

chorus

E/B                            A
tonight im going to be like a shooting star
E/B                              A
you would not believe i would go this far
           C#m   B5   A 
but i know what  that means
       C#m  B5   A
i know what that means

*post chorus interlude
C#m for A measure

verse

C#m                   F#m/C#
out of anger or out of spite
B5                E/B
clinging on to me every night
A                       C#m  B5  A
with your face in your hands you were
A                 F#m/C#   B5   B
like a flame with nothing  to   burn


C#m                F#m/C#
every time i would turn away
B5                    E/B
every time i would go astray
A                     C#m   B5  A
every time try to get off.  the hook
 A                      F#m/C#  B5  B
you would give me that same     old look

chorus 
EE/B                           A
tonight im going to be like a shooting star
E/B                              A
you would not believe i would go this far
           C#m   B5   A 
but i know what  that means
       C#m  B5   A
i know what that means


*solo goes here ( isn't really much of one on the cd, but live he  goes crazy with the whammy
and super distorted fuzz* then clicks back to clean for the next verse. HAVE FUN WITH IT !!!
final verse
C#m                              F#m/C#
there are things now that i have lost
B5                  E/B
i have payed up for every cost
A               C#m   B5 A
i admit that i had   to  go
                 F#m/C#   B5  B
now its over you see      and so


*final chorus 
lyrics change slightly

E/B                           A
tonight im going to be like a shooting star
E/B                              A
you would not believe i would go this far
          C#m   B5   A 
you know what  that means
          C#m  B5   A
you know what that means
