this looks difficult but it really is not . since the song has not been
officially released yet , i had to look at chris’ fingers when they played the
song for the first time live at the “rock Am ring 2011” . this is pretty much
the way he plays the song , i’m just not 100% sure with the lyrics! for an
easier version without capo and in standard tuning look below . enjoy! : )

xverse
A Asus4 A Asus4
oh morning come bursting the clouds move in
E Esus4 E Esus4
lift off this blindfold let me see again
D
and bring back the water that your ships will rid
A E
in my heart she left a whole .

A Asus4 A Asus4
the tightrope that i’m walking just sways and ties
E Esus4 E Esus4
the devil as he’s talking with those angel’s eyes
D
and i just wanna be there when the lightning strikes
A E
and the saints go marching in .

chorus
A Asus4 A Asus4 E Esus4
E Esus4
and sing sloooo – ooooo – ooooo – oooow it down
D
through chaos as it swirls
A E
it’s just us against the world .

verse
A Asus4 A Asus4
like a river to a raindrop i lost a friend
E Esus4 E Esus4
my drunken as a dagger in a lion’s den
D
and tonight i know it all has to begin again
A E
so whatever you do don’t let go .

bridge
A Asus4
and if we could float away
A Asus4 E Esus4
fly up to the surface we’ll just start again
E Esus4
and lift off with no trouble
D
just erodes us in the rain

just erodes us in the rain
A E
just erodes us just erodes us in the rain .
