The reason I have included so many mutes is that you can just keep you fingers in the
position and mute and release the necessary strings!

This song is very simple so I won't insult your intelligence by putting the chords all
way through as you will get the idea very quickly! The rhythm is obviously just straight
all the way!

VERSE 1

G5 C/G5
All this feels strange and untrue

E/G5 £/G5
And I won't waste a minute without you

G5 C/G5
My bones ache, my skin feels cold

E/G5 C/G5
And I'm getting so tired and so old

The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
Cos I need you to look into mine

ELECTRIC RIFF (From 1st Chorus)

CHORUS

G5 C/G5
Tell me that you'll open your eyes

E/G5 C/G5
Tell me that you'll open your eyes

G5 C/G5
Tell me that you'll open your eyes

E/G5 C/G5
Tell me that you'll open your eyes


Get up, get out, get away from these liars
Cos they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time


Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
Cos I need you to look into mine


CHORUS

Tell me that you'll open your eyes (x8)
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes

e/ -----------------------------/
b/ -----------------------------/
g/ ----------5-----------5------/
d/ ----5-----5-x16-2-----5-x16--/
a/ ----5-x16-3-----2-x16-3------/
E/ ----3-----------0------------/

Do this for the most of the song untill the instrumental solo which is;

e/ --------------------------------------------/
b/ --------------------------------------------/
g/ ----12-12-12-10-10-10-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-7--7----/
d/ -----x--x--x--x--x--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--x----/ x2
a/ ----10-10-10--8--8--8-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5--5----/
E/ --------------------------------------------/

then

e/ --------------------------------------------/
b/ --------------------------------------------/
g/ ----14-14-14-12-12-12-10-10-10-9-9-9-9-9--9-/
d/ -----x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x-x-x-x-x-x--x-/
a/ ----12-12-12-10-10-10--8--8--8-7-7-7-7-7--7-/
E/ --------------------------------------------/

then this again but just the once


e/ --------------------------------------------/
b/ --------------------------------------------/
g/ ----12-12-12-10-10-10-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-7--7----/
d/ -----x--x--x--x--x--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--x----/
a/ ----10-10-10--8--8--8-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5--5----/
E/ --------------------------------------------/

And finally end with this again but just once.

e/ -----------------------------/
b/ -----------------------------/
g/ ----------5-----------5------/
d/ ----5-----5-x16-2-----5-x16--/
a/ ----5-x16-3-----2-x16-3------/
