Intro: C major on piano

1st verse:

 major         major
Consider us the long lonely road.
 minor       major
Defenders of the brittlest of bones.
 major          major
The dressers of the prettiest of clothes.
 minor                 major
Our time is gonna come but we’ll have no where to go.

Chorus:
 major                       major
What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
 major                         major
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
 major                           major
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
 major                         major
How would you feel if we we’re lying?

Bridge:  C major  A major (2X) (same feel as the verse)

2nd verse:
 major      major
Remember us we we’re the last ones on your mind.
 minor        major
Escapers from the debased and denied
 major          major
The rest is up to you sinners we aligned.
  minor                 major
Our time is on the run and it’s left us to decide.

2nd Chorus:
 major                        major
What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
 major                          major
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
 major                            major
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
 major               major
How would you feel if we we’re lying?

2nd Bridge (1st part): C major A #major F major  C major (2x)
(this part has a little riff that can be played as follows:
E----------------------|
B----------------------|
G----------------------|
D-------10-10-10-12-10-|
A-10-12----------------|
E----------------------|

(that is the basic hammer on and off riff, but the riff does alternate a little onto the 
string- with a little practice you can figure the whole riff out)

2nd bridge (2nd part continued):
Added after the 2 times through is another 2 times through with the same
C major A #major F major  C major that goes like this:

           major         major     major
What do we see, What do we see, Ohhhhhhhh, ahh ohhhh,
           major         major                
major
What do we see, What do we see, What do we see, before we die,

Chorus:
 major                        major
What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
 major                          major
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
 major                            major
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
 major                           major
How would you feel if they we’re lying?
 major                           major
How would you feel if they we’re lying?
 major                           major
How would you feel if they we’re lying?
