Notes: 1. Tab as well as the corresponding chords. Lyrics might be off a bit.
2. */* & *()* for alternate or optional notes/chords. Some of them are
pretty close but I gave both options. Personally, I feel like the Em
works best in the verses and Em7 in the chorus.
Tuning: Standard
Lead Guitar Intro: (Riff also plays during chorus)

It's been a long time, so long; there's only one life I know

But I have my own mind, I'll say so if it seems right
oh, rush out
Em/Em7 Asus4 (Dsus4)
I see your warm face with the soft mouth, but it speaks something else
Em/Em7 Asus4 Dsus4
I'll take my chances with the cast down, we can feel the air
Chorus:
Em/Em7
Rush out, out from the center
D/Asus4 Dsus4 D
Not like one side is any better
Em/Em7
Stand up as they've been preaching
D/Asus4 Dsus4 D
My best theory is already in me
Em/Em7
Verse 2:
Asus Dsus4 Em/Em7
We can feel, we can feel the air
rush out
Em/Em7 Asus4 (Dsus4)
So many questions, and the answers come back unanswered
Em/Em7 Asus4 Dsus4
Let's hold the old script, it's a new twist, you can feel the air
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Em G
In a lonely, real place / Neither part nor mistake
C/Esus2(maj7) B (Dsus 4 D)
Not what you had with your time
Em G
My doubt sings faith / My true desire
C/Esus2(maj7) B
My threat, my appetite
Lead Guitar Solo:
