Tuning: Standard E
This is how I play it, you can add some variations to the chords but it sounds great like this.
Verse chords are based upon a Cadd9 (listen to the song to hear the rhythm):
I II III IV I II III IV
e|-3----3----3---------|-3----3----3----3--
B|-3----3----3---------|-3----3----3----3--
G|-0----0----0---------|-0----0----0----0--
D|-2----2----0---------|-2----2----2----2--
A|-3----3----2---------|-3----3----3----3--
E|---------------3--2--|-------------------
It's not the same without you up here
Can't find my wheels
Your absence is what breeds this fear
Warm breath and all it steals
C#sus2 E G#m F#
You can't know how it feels to be in here
C#sus2 E G#m F#
All the dark horse fields, befriendin' me
(Verse chords)
Playin' ain't the same without you here
We've come to hate the golden rule
Cannot seem to make the dots connect
The morning light don't show you near

C#sus2 E G#m F#
You can't know what it's like to bleed from here
C#sus2 E G#m F#
The blackened world grows white, it goes nowhere
(Verse chords during solo)

Oooooohhhh.... Oooooohhhh.... (x2)
(Verse chords)
Death ain't the same without you, dear
I make the others run and hide
New york streets seem to make it worse
All this noise inside the quiet
C#sus2 E G#m F#
I can't hold on, the weight you bear
C#sus2 E G#m F#
My body's broken fast, please lift me up
C#sus2 E G#m F#
You can't know what it's like to be inside
C#sus2 E G#m F#
The fading melodies can't beat my need
(Outro, play verse chords)
I'm not the same without you here
How can I quit to be there
Sit and stare...
Stare...
Begging for a prayer...
