Try it and see\r\nwhat I mean! I've also been experimenting with the G being\r\nE|--0--\r\nB|--1--\r\nG|--0--\r\nD|--0--\r\nA|--2--\r\nE|--3--\r\nas I think it sounds really nice during the verses. For the intro keep the original G, and for the\r\nlast lines of the verses. But yeah, those 4 chords over and over, but in case you want to follow\r\nthe lyrics too, (and I think I got the timings right) here goes:[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]         [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nHe draws out, the cigarette smoke trail spins[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nThoughts crowd the room, 'til it's only him[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]C[/ch]\r\nHe feels it, he lives for it[/tab]\r\n[tab]                  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nSpent half a life pushing it forward, what he wouldn't give for it[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nSaw naysayers put in their places[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nFeels like he's scaling the foothills of greatness[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nHolding all four aces, he braced[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]G[/ch]\r\nfor the next few years being some for the ages[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nNo time to heed, pride come before the fall[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nFor now he shines, all rose, no thorn[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nFull bloom, like his plan fool proof[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nHigh noon sun beaming, spoke too soon[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThe dark clouds scream towards his door[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]F[/ch]\r\nand a house of cards, it cant stand in the storm[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nWind picked up, sunshine stopped[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThe world came down with the very first drop[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                          [ch]F[/ch]\r\n  So light me up, like a cigarette[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]C[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                     [ch]F[/ch]\r\n  Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]C[/ch]                             [ch]G[/ch]\r\nSo when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nHe still gunning, beaten but refused to be broken[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nWhat some call delusional others call focus[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]C[/ch]\r\nMan he's focussed, came back for the re up[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nNows not the time to kick back with his feet up[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nStands in the rain with his face to the heavens[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd his arms outstretched from the pain that he let in[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nWorld keep kicking hard, aint gonna get him[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nHe's willing to fight and die for the path that he heads in[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd thats a bittersweet faith [/tab]\r\n[tab]                 [ch]F[/ch]\r\nKnowing high and lows will come boy but them's the breaks[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]C[/ch]                                                        [ch]G[/ch]\r\nIt's pride, it's madness, it's seeing what others can only imagine[/tab]\r\nAnd then reaching out to grab it\r\n[tab]   [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nSaying \"I can say that whatever comes happens[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]F[/ch]\r\nbut I followed my heart, goddamn it\"[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nExposing reality to magic[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                [ch]G[/ch]\r\nIt's hope, and thats all it is, he walked through fire and its all he came back with, saying[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                          [ch]F[/ch]\r\n  So light me up, like a cigarette[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]C[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                     [ch]F[/ch]\r\n  Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]C[/ch]                             [ch]G[/ch]\r\nSo when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nCome what may, some memories fade[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nBut some stay as vivid as the moment they were made[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nDreams of the days where he stood like a mountain[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\n  It's been a while since then but who's counting[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                                   [ch]F[/ch]                                              [ch]C[/ch]\r\nHe lies awake, lies in wait, for the light of the morning to bless him, and shine again[/tab]\r\nSummon the rise of the fallen\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nLaces tied, comeback trail still walking[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                                 [ch]F[/ch]\r\nLives for it, lifetime on the mish for it[/tab]\r\n\r\n  Man, there aint a thing he didn't give for it\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\n  Make a bet till his last sun sets[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\n  He'll be pushing for the light, mate he ain't done yet[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nHead held high slow danced through his hell[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nStill a point there he gotta prove to himself[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd, the beat drops, same songs on next[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nSo he sparks up a cigarette, takes a deep breath and says[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                          [ch]F[/ch]\r\n  So light me up, like a cigarette[/tab]\r\n[tab]
