(verse 1 - riff 1) 
I want to sing one for all the dreamers 
I'm singing this one for the sparks 
Here's one for the friction makers 
We are the bleeding hearts 
Don't care whoever you are 

(Refrão) 
(guitar 1 & 2 – riff 2) 
We rise and fall together 
Our hearts still beat below

Are you ready to go? 
Are you ready to go? 

(verse 2) 
(guitar 1 - Drew - Same as Intro: Part 1) 

I wanna turn up the radiation 
I wanna glow in the dark 
Love is the one true innovation 
Love is the only art 
Don't let 'em blow it apart

(verse 3) 
this is a bit complicated, but Guitar 2 (Drew) and the keyboard 
player (Romey) are switching off notes. I won't tab the keyboard 
player's stuff, but he plays his notes on the count (1 2 3 4) For Guitar 
2(Drew), the individual notes are played on the upbeats (the +, or 'and' of the count). 

(guitar 2 - riff) 

  Measure 1:       Measure 2:        Measure 3: 
  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
