Notes: 1. Tab as well as the corresponding chords. Lyrics might be off a bit.

2. */* & *()* for alternate or optional notes/chords. Some of them are
pretty close but I gave both options. Personally, I feel like the Em
works best in the verses and Em7 in the chorus.

Tuning: Standard



Lead Guitar Intro: (Riff also plays during chorus)

Verse 1:

Em/Em7 Asus4 (Dsus4)

It's been a long time, so long; there's only one life I know

Em/Em7 Asus4 (Dsus4)

But I have my own mind, I'll say so if it seems right
oh, rush out

Em/Em7 Asus4 (Dsus4)

I see your warm face with the soft mouth, but it speaks something else

Em/Em7 Asus4 Dsus4

I'll take my chances with the cast down, we can feel the air



Chorus:

Em/Em7

Rush out, out from the center

D/Asus4 Dsus4 D

Not like one side is any better

Em/Em7

Stand up as they've been preaching

D/Asus4 Dsus4 D

My best theory is already in me



Em/Em7



Verse 2:

Asus Dsus4 Em/Em7

We can feel, we can feel the air
rush out

Em/Em7 Asus4 (Dsus4)

So many questions, and the answers come back unanswered

Em/Em7 Asus4 Dsus4

Let's hold the old script, it's a new twist, you can feel the air


(Chorus)


Bridge:

Em G

In a lonely, real place / Neither part nor mistake

C/Esus2(maj7) B (Dsus 4 D)

Not what you had with your time

Em G

My doubt sings faith / My true desire

C/Esus2(maj7) B

My threat, my appetite
