This song is remotely simple, but I�m not going to claim that this is the best way of
it. I�ve been dying to play an acoustic version of this for a while, so it�s just a simple
diagram with some fills for emphasis.
Also, apologies for the masses of writing under the chords, they�re basically just
you how I choose to play it � ignore them if you wish! And sorry if you can�t understand my
of writing this chord structure.. it does make sense, don�t worry. Enjoy :) x

Intro

Em F#

(I�m sure when you listen to the song you�ll 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 don�t have to if you
want to, and if you think that using minor chords works better, I really don�t mind,
is just a base for the notes used!)

(this bit is a little bit hazy because it�s played reasonably fast, so I�m not entirely
if it�s correct - here is the rhythm that I use)

(It works best if you keep up a rhythm with these chords, and any which I�ve put in
you don�t necessarily need to play for it to sound good, they�re just for added effect. And
the verse, you can just use the normal chord shape, because the barr�d chords will start 
hurt your hands after a while.. but it�s 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#
It�s a new dawn


       G                F#
Just leave this place behind
       G                   F#
I�ll 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 needle�s 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#
It�s 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 you�d 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   Ab   F#

            B         F#
It�s a new dawn


Apologies if the outro is wrong, but then you only really need that bit if you�re doing
duet with the lead as well. Thank you, and enjoy! x
