This is the chord sheet for the rhythm guitar. I realize there's a massively
intricate tab necessary for the lead guitar, but for right now, this is all
I've got. They're pretty basic chords, so just strum them all fully and
listen to the song for the pattern. Comment for any questions or corrections!

G6 G (stop)
He's looking for a reason watching the sun going down
Chorus: (strum chords twice each, until "all you see...")
Can you hear when we [Am]call, there when we f[F]all?
Standing our [C]backs against the [G]wall
Top of our [Am]lungs, hallelu[F]jah
Where pain and [C]love bleed into [G]one
Baby when [Am]all you [C]see is dark[Am]ness

[C]She's turning sevente[G6]en in seven nights
[Am]Out on the fairgrounds, [F]walking in monotone
[C]She kicks a bottle that's [G6]empty as her soul
[Am]Out on the road alone, [F]in a house that's half a home
[C]They give her pills to [G6]kill when she feels [Am]alone
G6 G (stop)
She's looking for a reason watching the sun going down

[Em7]Take these broken [F#/Dsus]streets
Take these broken [Cadd9]dreams
