Chords

I couldn't find any lyrics, let alone chords for this online, so I figured I'd do it all here. please comment with a suggestion if you find it weird too. Other than that I'm fairly certain this is spot-on perfect. This is my first tab/chord thing, so let me off for little innacurracies! I did a guitar tutorial for this song on youtube, here's the link: Chords: E A5 E* E*/B E*/A E*/D# C#sus2? D A Dadd9 Gadd9 B C# B/F# A/E

Intro E-A5 Verse

E*                 E*/B  E*/A
Crushing dreams and crooked fault, 

E                  E/B  E/A
Trap me in a crowded parking lot, 

E     E/D#         D    A   
I feel the tide is turning, 

C#sus2                       E
The ending chapter starts to fade, 

                          Dadd9  Gadd9
Do I really belong here anymore, anyway?

E                 B/F#   
I can’t sleep on nights like these, 

        C#sus2
stuck in Chicago staring at the ceiling, 

A/E
I’m looking for something to believe in. 

E          
Walk these city streets, 

        B/F#
do you remember me, remember when, 

C#sus2
when I was all that you needed, 

A/E
Chicago I’m leaving.

E*             E*/B   E*/A
I count my memories of you, 

E*             E*/B   E*/A
empty bottle midnight rendezvous, 

E*    E*/D#  D     A
outside, insides burning.

C#sus2         E          Dadd9   Gadd9
Do I really belong here anymore, anyway?

E                 B/F#   
I can’t sleep on nights like these, 

        C#sus2
stuck in Chicago staring at the ceiling, 

A/E
I’m looking for something to believe in. 

E          
Walk these city streets, 

        B/F#
do you remember me, remember when,

when I was all that you needed,

Chicago I’m leaving.
