Here are the fingerings I used: G5 : 3500xx (or 3550xx) D: 55403x (first part of the song) / xx0232 (for the variation) C: x32013 Em: 0220xx Bm: x24431 G: 320033 [Intro] C Em D D C Em D D [1st Verse]
G5                             D
  Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath

G5                                  D
  That forecasts storms on the gallup poll

      C           Em             D
Woke up from the nightmare news

             C        Em                 D
And hoping to read a sign in the morning air

G5                                 D
  Nothing changes here and nothing improves

G5                               D
All say my friends who just want out

    C            Em       D
And leave these troubles behind

    C                   Em           D
Scatter like paper in the eye of the storm

      C           Em     D
Documented with a silent snow

             C     Em       D
That's only heard from far away
G5 D C Em D D [2nd Verse]
G5                            D
More cards in play, follow in suit

G5                                D
Everywhere you look, you only see red

C              Em           D
Wonder when to call off the race

           C      Em                   D
Watching a horse running down its last legs

                 C     Em                D
Just when you think it couldn't get much worse

          C             Em          D
Watch the numbers rise on the death toll

          C             Em          D
And the chimes of freedom flash and fade

     C          Em       D
Only heard from far, far away
[variation] Bm D G G Bm D G G
Bm  D  G                         G           Bm D
          I hear you can't trust in your own

G                      G                Bm D
Now the grey is broken in the early morn

G                      G                   Bm   D
And the words forming barely have a voice

               G             G                       Bm     D    G    G
It's just your heart that's breaking without choice
Bm D G G Bm D G G
Bm  D  G                         G                          Bm D
       Everything you've learned is distorted in your head

G                       G                     Bm  D
Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread

G                         G           Bm D
Staying up with the blue screen glow

            G          G                         Bm     D    G    G
Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago
Bm D G G Bm D G G
Bm  D  G                                      Bm  D
       When the dread is flowing down my veins

  G                                        Bm    D
I want to tear it all down and build it up again

G                                Bm     D  G
   Tear it all down, build it up again
G Bm D G G
Bm  D  G                        G                   Bm     D
        I hear your heart that's breaking without choice

   G                      G      Bm     D G
I want to hear those chimes ring again

G         Bm   D  G
   Ring again
G Bm D G G Bm D G G Bm [End on Bm]
