The tab stays the same throughout the whole song. To figure out the picking pattern just listen to the cd. Verse 1:

           D
Ophelia drowned in the water

           D
Crushed by her own weight

               C
Hitler loved little blue-eyed boys

          C
And it drove him to hate

                    D
Birds always grow silent before the night descends

       D                                             G
?Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend

Verse 2:

           D
A hero's torso built of steel and Novocain

             D
His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame

                  C                              D
There was a hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill

            D
So he found himself a whore to love

                             G
While daises choked in the window sill

Chorus:

       D               C
We've made houses for hatred

       G
It's time we made a place

         D      C              G
Where people's souls may be seen and made safe

    D             C           G
Be careful with each other, these fragile flames

     D         C                      D       C     G
For innocence can't be lost, it just needs to be maintained

Verse 3: A small town in Ohio Two boys are filled with violence And darkness spreads its legs for hate and ignorance We are given to a god to put our faith therein But to be forgiven, we must first believe in sin Chorus Bridge: A G A G A G A G Verse 4: I want to live bravely and love without fear I want to always feel the wings of grace near We all will be Christed when we hear ourselves say We are that to which we pray Chorus 2x
