Hey all! These are the chords I tried figuring out for the RHYTHM guitar only. I didn't include the lead guitar
riffs as I am not Igor Presnyakov and cant play three things at once. Anyway... enjoy!
Intro: (Tricky to catch without context of timing, but I believe in you!)
C#m, A G#m F#m, E, F#m G#m A, C#m, D#5 D#5 E5 D#5, A, B, x2
A,, B
C#m A F#m B G#m C#m
The day I learn to fly, I'm never coming down
(C#m) A F#m B G#m C#m
On perfect wings I'll rise through the layers of the clouds
(C#m) A B
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
A B
And six million people that keep their fires lit
C#m C#m E F#m
I threw a party in my name
C#m C#m E F#m
But the hours crawled by and no one came
C#m C#m
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
E F#m A B
To take me from this place... from you
C#m A F#m B G#m C#m
I see myself inside you, you dream the dreams that I do,
(C#m) A F#m B G#m C#m
You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist
(C#m) A B
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
A B
And six million people that keep their fires lit
C#m C#m E F#m
I threw a party in my name
C#m C#m E F#m
But the hours crawled by and no one came
C#m C#m
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
E F#m A B
To take me from this place... from you
Bridge: (If you're singing with heart, it's nice to have a rest here. I just palm mute these chords.)
C#m C#m(Slide)B B(Slide)C#m x4
A E B
I close my eyes as the curtains draw,
A E B
I thought I heard your voice but I thought wrong,
A E B
'cause you're not there anymore,
A E B
No you're not there anymore
A E B
And so I lift my chin and the show goes on,
A E B
The sky is listening, the stars all sing along,
A E B
But you're not there anymore,
A E B
And I just can't care anymore
