Acoustic version of an awesome song.
I used the following video as my reference

D (x00323)
A (002220)
F#7 (x1435x)
Capo on 3rd fret
VERSE
[Bm]I dreamt about you the [G]other [D]night
[Bm]We were there and people [G]started to [D]die
[Bm]The seas rose to a [G]terrible [D]height
But [G]we sur[D]vived yes [G]we sur[F#7]vived (I don't know why)
VERSE
[Bm]We watched the grass pile [G]up in the [D]cracks
[Bm]The birds return, the [G]nights went [D]black
[Bm]Yeah we were lovers in the [G]great [D]collapse
The [G]seasons [D]came, the [G]seasons [F#7]passed
CHORUS
[G]So free what you [D]love 'cause it's [A]gonna die [Em]anyway
[G]Those golden [D]days will be [A]fossilized [Em]and you'll scream
[G]Oh back it [D]up, back it [Bm]up, but it's [A]not the same
[G]Though it's e[D]nough just to [A]say I knew you [Bm]well
x3 -> Bm, G, D
x1 -> G, D, G, F#7
VERSE
[Bm]Now I can't sleep and I [G]can't say [D]no
[Bm]Civilization ain't [G]got no [D]soul
[Bm]The tick tock ticks [G]out of con[D]trol
I'm [G]on a [D]roll, I'm [G]on a [F#7]roll (he's lost control)
VERSE
[Bm]Though when [G]my dream [D]ends
[Bm]It's true we're [G]hardly [D]friends
[Bm]I can't forget [G]those [D]seasons
The [G]world is [D]one, the [D]world is [F#7]one
CHORUS
[G]So free what you [D]love 'cause it's [A]gonna die [Em]anyway
[G]Those golden [D]days will be [A]fossilized [Em]and we'll scream
[G]Oh back it [D]up, back it [Bm]up, but it's [A]not the same
[G]Though it's e[D]nough just to [A]say I knew you [Bm]well
Or alternately continue the chorus by ending the last line with...
G, D, A, G
and then start the chorus again as done in the video
Hope you enjoy it!
