STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 3 (Scroll down for no-capo version)

INTRO: | C - C/B | G | Dm - F | Am - G |

VERSE:
  Am                             G
I shake through the wreckage for signs of life
                       Dm          F
Scrolling through the paragraphs
                     Am           G
Clicking through the photographs
  Am                         G
I wish I could make sense of what we do
                 Dm        F
Burning down the capitals
                  Am        G
The wisest of the animals

PRECHORUS:
F
Who are you?
             G        F
What are you living for?
F
Tooth for tooth
            G      F
Maybe we'll go one more

CHORUS:
     C        C/B
This life 
                   G
is lived in perfect symmetry
       Dm       F
What I do
             Am          G
That will be done to me

VERSE:
     Am                 G
Read page after page of analysis
                Dm          F
Looking for the final score
                        Am            G
We're no closer than we were before

PRE-CHORUS:
F
Who are you?
             G        F
What are you fighting for?
F
Holy truth
            G          F
Brother I choose this mortal....


CHORUS:
    C       C/B 
...life, 
                G
lived in perfect symmetry
       Dm   F
What I do
             Am          G
That will be done to me
        C   C/B
As the needle 
               G
slips into the run-out groove
Dm    F
Love
              Am         G
Maybe you'll feel it too

BRIDGE:
                 F             C
And maybe you'll find life is unkind
         G
And over so soon
            F
There is no golden gate
        C                G
There's no heaven waiting for you

                   F 
Oh boy, you oughta leave this town
G
Get out while you can
             C                    Am
The meter's running down
                   Fm
The voices in the streets you love
 G                            C
Everything is better when you hear that shout
 Am       Dm
Woah!
 C      Am
Woah!
  G
Woah!

CHOIR:
C           C/B
Spineless dreamers
G
Hide in churches
Dm          F
Pieces of, pieces of
Am          G
Rush hour buses
C           C/B
I dream in e-mails
G
Worn-out phrases
Dm          F
Mile after mile of just
Am     G
Empty pages

               C C/B  G
Wrap yourself around me
              Dm  F  Am  G
Wrap yourself around me


        C   C/B
As the needle 
               G
slips into the run-out groove
        Dm            F
Maybe you'll feel it too
       Am            G
Maybe you'll feel it too


OUTRO (FADE WITH CHORUS CHORDS: C   C/B   G   Dm   F   Am   G)
Spineless dreamers (Maybe you'll feel it too)
Hide in churches (Maybe you'll feel it too)
Pieces of, pieces of
Rush hour buses
I dream in e-mails
Worn-out phrases
Mile after mile of just
Empty pages
