Intro Riff [x4] d duuududud*strum pattern is something like that, the first d is emphasized Verse 1

First we'd climb a tree

D
and maybe then we'd talk

or sit silently

D
and listen to our thoughts

Cadd9
with illusions of someday

D
casting a golden light

C
no dress rehearsal, 

D
this is our life
Intro Riff [x2] Pre-Chorus
D                                Cadd9
that's where the hornet stung me

                         D
and I had a feverish dream

with revenge and doubt

                       D
tonight, we smoke them out

by a century
Intro Riff [x4] Verse 2
D
Stare in the morning shroud

D
and then the day began

D
I tilted your cloud

you tilted my hand

rain falls in real time 

D
and rain fell through the night

C                  D
no dress rehearsal, this is our life

tonight, we smoked them out
