Bah, I wanted a good chord 'tab', so here it is!

These can be mixed around (Gs with other Gs, etc), but the ones I put with the song, I
prefer. So if you're like me, and like to be lazy, try strumming, G*, G*, G*, D/F#, Em7,
Em7, Em7, D/F# (Repeat)
Note: G/F# is a special one, (I made it up :P) and is difficult to swap out of this
song, but you can at the end of the intro.
Instead of Cadd9 G/F# G, try Cadd9 D/F# G or Cadd9 Gsus2 G. It'll make the minor or
whatever nasty sound a little less apparent.
Note #2: There's an odd delay in D/F#, not a mistake. The chords change where they
change on the words, finally!

Verse 1
(G) D/F# Em
I'm tired of waking up in tears,
D/F# G D/F# Em Cadd9
'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
G D/F# Em
I'm new to this grief I can't explain;
D/F# G D/F# Em Cadd9
But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain.

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,
(Cadd9) G D/F# Em Cadd9
"Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?"
(Cadd9) G D/F# Em Cadd9
I'm a Silhouette, chasing rainbows on my own

But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
(D) Cadd9 D/F# G
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

(G) D/F# Em
I'm sick of the past I can't erase,
D/F# G D/F# Em Cadd9
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace,

The mountains of things that I still regret,
D/F# G D/F# Em
Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget
Cadd9 D
(No matter where I go)
