Did my best with the lyrics and chords...sorry if they're slightly off!
 G   Em   F#mAmaj11 > (which is  F#mon the 5th fret)
Also pull off and hammer your  F#mbar 
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Founded a faith, 
built it on modern fables
The stories were true, 
They just didn't make much sense
The reminders have been forgotten
In the hope that we need not know
We disolved in the wrong solution
All the promises me made long ago
Founded a faith, 
you could call it a false religion
I said you were right, 
it's got nothing to do with God
Its the novel that won't be written
Its the letter that no-one sends
Its the jurer's wrong decision
And we've already reached the end
( C   G   Emx2 then  C   Em  D)
Because, this machine can barely function
Under the weight of rocks and bones
We can continue making progress
If we never know
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
I founded a faith,
you said it was raw and foolish
But left all alone
you gave an enjoyed throne
you embraced our sweet dilusion
Let a constant reminder go
The results a far-gone conclusion
And you're counting its tell and songs
( G   Emx2 then  C   Em  D)
Now, listen, this machine can barely function
from running around the neighbours bend
There's nothing to stop us making progress
If we just pretend
Come on lets pretend
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

Founded a faith,

built it on modern fables

The stories were true,

They just didn't make much sense

The reminders have been forgotten

In the hope that we need not know

We disolved in the wrong solution

All the promises me made long ago

Founded a faith,

you could call it a false religion

I said you were right,

it's got nothing to do with God

Its the novel that won't be written

Its the letter that no-one sends

Its the jurer's wrong decision

And we've already reached the end

Because, this machine can barely function

Under the weight of rocks and bones

Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

I founded a faith,

you said it was raw and foolish

But left all alone

you gave an enjoyed throne

you embraced our sweet dilusion

Let a constant reminder go

The results a far-gone conclusion

And you're counting its tell and songs

( x2 then )

Now, listen, this machine can barely function

from running around the neighbours bend

There's nothing to stop us making progress

If we just pretend

Come on lets pretend

Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
