Chords

These are the chords phrasings that sound best to me in the Verse / Interlude: G 3200xx Bm x2443x Asus4 x0223x In the Chorus, go for the Standard chord shapes, A/C# being x47650 (or, maybe easier, x42220, or a regular A for easier playability) I think in the vocal melody Andrew often walks down from the D to C#, being the fourth and third of the A-chord respectively. If you want to mimic this, you can change from Asus4 to A on "learning", "burning", "past", "blast" and such. [Verse]
          G                Bm              Asus4
There's a lot that I don't know, there's a lot that I'm still learning

       G                 Bm            Asus4
When I think I'm letting go, I find my body, it's still burning

                G     Bm                Asus4
And you hold me down,    and you got me living in the past

                    G    Bm                    Asus4
Come on and pick me up,     somebody clear the wreckage from the blast
[Chorus]
G            D        Bm              A/C#
  Yeah I'm alive, but I don't need a witness 

             G        D             Bm              A/C#
to know that I've survived, I'm not looking for forgiveness

        G         D             Bm               A/C#                     (G)
Yeah, I just need life. I'll be lying in the dark as I search for the resolution
[Interlude] | G Bm | Asus4 | (x2) [Verse]
        G                Bm               Asus4
And the bars are finally closed, so I try living in the moment

        G                Bm             Asus4
For the moment it just froze and I felt sick and so alone

                  G    Bm                     Asus4
I could hear the sound    of your voice still ringing in my ear

                 G    Bm                     Asus4
I'm going underground,    but you'll find me anywhere I fear  
[Chorus]
G            D        Bm              A/C#

             G        D             Bm              A/C#
to know that I've survived, I'm not looking for forgiveness

        G         D             Bm               A/C#                     (G)

G Bm Asus4 [Chorus]
