    Act III: Life and Death

This is the way Casey plays it from what I heard (Capo on 5th):

C            Dm
Oh, you were born with the sun

    C            Dm
And oh, you will die with the moon

    C                                  Dm
And everything you thought you had you lost

    C                                   Dm
But now you'd never lose what you don't have


*Pre-Chorus*

F           G            C        E     F
Prayers from above, never answered quite enough

        Dm           Fm     C
Now the only one you have is you


*Chorus*

C         Gm
With this cruel and bitter heart

         F
You were cold and in love

          Eb
Left here naked in the sun

C                    Gm
Run scared from this cruel and bitter world

         F                Eb
This has only begun as the bombs are busting off


*Verse*

Fm            Cm
Smoke arose on azimuth glares

Fm                Cm           Bb
Bodies brewed and frigid winter air

      Fm                Cm     Bb            Ab
Where families son's are robbed beneath their feet

    Cm     Bb       Fm          Cm    Bb   
And hearts concede "Ab Ovo," the angel sings "Ad astra"

    Cm          Bb      Fm
Our eyes to the sea, we thought that we had

  Cm        Bb             Cm
A cause for suffering, and reason not to die alone

Bb
Oh but


*Repeat Chorus*

Cm                            Fm
With our feet beneath us, and our hands to the sky

   Ab                        F#        F#     F#/C
We extend our limbs begging "why, oh, why?"

           Fm    Cm    Fm   Cm  Bb
Don't turn away


Eb   Ab   Cm  Bb  Ab  Ab/G


*Repeat Pre-Chorus*

F           G           C        E     F
Prayers from above never answered quite enough

Dm      G         C       E       F
Looking up, never offered you too much

        Dm           Fm
Now the only one you have is...
