Chords

NOTES: When playing the D in the intro and solo, I recommend using the barred version. It sounds nicer. [Intro] A E F#m D x2 [Verse 1]
A  E            F#m
  Another empty scene

A    E           F#m
  Is up on my TV screen

A           E                  F#m
  Sometimes some things aren't always what they seem

A     E                     F#m
  Sometimes we dont feel so serene
[Chorus 1]
             D
I'll write a thousand songs

              E
I hope you'll sing along

        C#m                     F#m
Keep it up, keep it up, hold it down

                D
And I know that life goes on

             C#m
Feels like I missed it all

          A                         F#m
Sometimes I don't care if I live or die

                 D            D
Yeah I know I'll struggle on, struggle on
[Verse 2]
F#m                   E
    The silence is so loud

                  D
Its beating on my chest

                 E
Much louder than all the rest

F#m                     E
    The grip is tighter now

                    D
And I wish I'd stop choking

            E
My heart is broken

A       E            F#m
      I saw you in a dream

A        E                     F#m
  Swear, Goddamn, we're on moonbeams

A           E                 F#m
  Sometimes things, yeah, are not what they seem

A           E               F#m
  Sometimes we dont feel so supreme
[Chorus 2]
            D
And if it's right or wrong

              E
I hope you'll sing along

        C#m                     F#m
Keep it up, keep it up, hold it down

            D
I know that life goes on

             E
Feels like I missed it all

          C#m                      F#m
Sometimes I dont care if I quit or try

               D         Dm
Till then I'll carry on, carry on
[Solo] A E F#m x2 A E F#m D x2 [Chorus 3]
            D
And when my love is gone

              E
I hope you'll sing along

        C#m                     F#m
Keep it up, keep it up, hold it down

                D
And I know that life goes on

             E
Feels like I missed it all

          C#m                      F#m
Sometimes I dont care if I live or die

        D            Dm
Still I struggle on, struggle on
