this song is remotely simple , but im not going to claim that this is the best way of
it . ive been dying to play an acoustic version of this for a while , so its just a simple
diagram with some fills for emphasis .
also , apologies for the masses of writing under the chords , theyre basically just
you how i choose to play it ignore them if you wish! and sorry if you cant understand my
of writing this chord structure . . it does make sense , dont worry . enjoy : )

( im sure when you listen to the song youll be able to figure out where it changes with
two chords )
( 0 : 26 ) Em F# ( pm )
( 0 : 37 ) F# ( pm )
( i choose to palm mute this bit to emphasise the lead riff , so you dont have to if you
want to , and if you think that using minor chords works better , i really dont mind ,
is just a base for the notes used! )

( it works best if you keep up a rhythm with these chords , and any which ive put in
you dont necessarily need to play for it to sound good , theyre just for addEd effect . and
the verse , you can just use the normal chord shape , because the barred chords will start
hurt your hands after a while . . but its much easier to use them for the chorus! )
F# E
you can hide your eyes , you can dim the lights , but they are watching
F#
this is a new time , with a different kind , they are the future
B A
the only one
F# E
this is the final call for the setting sun when they get closer
F#
now with a fall from grace , they will be done , the show is over
B F#
its a new dawn
G F#
just leave this place behind
G F#
ill clear your bloodshot mind
B A B
they only wanted your life on demand
( C ) B ( A ) F#
this is a better way
F# E
they are standing by , no time to hide , no meeting half way
F#
you were sucking life through the needles eye , this is a new day
B A
and they have won
F# E
we will surrender now , or be outdone , left in the open
F#
its the cooling of the risen , they are the future
B A B F#
the future
F#
with all your fears combined , the manifest was refined
F#
i know you really tried to understand
F#
this is a new way
( for the above bit , i just keep repeating the F# since youd need power chords to get
song perfect )
outro
( from 3 : 28 ) F#
( 3 : 50 ) F# B E F#
( 3 : 56 ) A F# A F#
( 4 : 01 ) B A G# F#

apologies if the outro is wrong , but then you only really need that bit if youre doing
duet with the lead as well . thank you , and enjoy! x
