This is my first time tabbing, so here goes... Listen to recording for rhthym. [Intro] Em G A [Verse 1]
Em                  G            A         Em    G   A             
How come there's so many people willing to suffer

Em                 G       A    Em    G   A
So they get up and suffer every day

Em                            G           A           Em                       G    A
They think they were put on this Earth to suffer and, by God, they're going to suffer

Em                     G   A    Em    G   A
Until they suffer their lives  away

Am                   C      D   Am   C     D  
How come so many are willing to say, There is 

Am        C     D     Am          C   D
No sense, there is no plan

Em                G    A      Em         G    A
Yet they will not believe the ancient mysteries

Em                G    A         Em         G    A
Passed down from time into their hands
[Pre-Chorus]
   Cadd9
If my choice is despair or wonder

       Asus2
On the line between truth and belief

     Cadd9
Do I just let the tide take me under

        B7
Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me
[Chorus]
N.C.        Em      D    Cadd9
Open your,     mind

                     Em         D   Cadd9
'Cause you have been     blind

 D                     Em                        Cadd9
Imagine the answers or questions will be all you find
N.C. Open your mind [Turnaround] Em G A [Verse 2]
Em                G   A          Em     G    A
The grooves in my life were unforgiving

Em                G   A         Em     G    A
Over the years I laid them down night after night

Em             G        A     Em             G        A
Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep 

Em              G       A      Em            G    A
Work-eat-sleep, Work-eat-sleep, Suffocating my delight

      Am               G/B             Cadd9       D   
I was dragged into the light, into the stillness

         Am        G/B                 Cadd9    D   
Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears

Em                     G   A     Em                G    A
And when I came crashing through,   humbled and true

Em                    G   A    Em     G    A
I was better than I've been in years
[Pre-Chorus]
   Cadd9
If my choice is end or beginning

         Asus2
In my perception between death and life

          Cadd9
I'll keep on with this message I'm sending

        B7
We may not know how or when, but don't you wanna know why
[Chorus]
(B7)       Em      D    Cadd9
Open your,     mind

                     Em         D   Cadd9
'Cause you have been     blind

 D                     Em                        Cadd9
Imagine the answers or questions will be all you find, open your mind
[Solo] Em G A x8 Am C D x4 Em G A x4
Cadd9     B7
          Oh    Oh   Oh
[Chorus]
N.C.       Em      D    Cadd9
Open your,     mind

                     Em         D   Cadd9 
'Cause you have been     blind
[Outro]
Em         D          Cadd9
  Oh oh oh   oh oh oh      oh oh oh oh

Em         D          Cadd9
  Oh oh oh   oh oh oh      oh oh oh oh

Em         D          Cadd9 
  Oh oh oh   oh oh oh      oh oh oh oh

Em         D          Cadd9 
  Oh oh oh   oh oh oh      oh oh oh oh

Em         D          Cadd9                 N.C.
  Oh oh oh   oh oh oh       oh oh oh oh     Open your mind
Em G A x4
