This is exactly the pitch Adam Young sings at and it can be played with the track :) .
NO CAPO for the original but you can apply one to suit your vocal range :). You need
to tune the guitar half step down BUT alternately you can leave it
and Transpose the chords by selecting HALFSTEPDOWN on the TRANSPOSE drop down menu above ^^^^^^
and this should give you the riff of A# F Gm D# etc...

B              F#           Abm        E
  I'm tired of waking up in tears
B               F#               Abm        E
 'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
B                F#           Abm        E
 I'm new to this grief I can't explain
B            F#             Abm             E
 But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain

F#        Abm        B               E      
 The fire I began is burning me alive
F#          Abm            E                F#
 But I know better than to leave and let it die

CHORUS

      B       F#        Abm              E
I'm a silhouette asking every now and then
      B       F#        Abm              E
"Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?"
      B       F#        Abm                E
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
        C#m           F#           B      Abm      E
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
     C#m              F#               B
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

VERSE 2

I'm sick of the past I can't erase
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace
The mountain of things I still regret
Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget (no matter where I go)

The fire I began is burning me alive
But I know better than to leave and let it die

I'm a silhouette asking every now and then (now and then)
"Is it over yet? Will I ever smile again?"
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
     C#m              F#                (do not play E here)
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

Abm  B   E  F#
                Abm     B
'Cause I walk alone
   E              F#
No matter where I go
                Abm     B
'Cause I walk alone
   E              F#
No matter where I go
                Abm     B
'Cause I walk alone
   E              F#
No matter where I go

Then B   F#  Abm   E to the end 

I'm a silhouette asking every now and then (now and then)
"Is it over yet? Will I ever love again?"
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

I watch the summer stars to lead me home.

Hope you like it :) Great song :D
