Hey! This is just how I play the song on my acoustic guitar, I noticed there 
wasn't a tab up so I thought I'd do one... It's not the chords the band use but it 
sounds right if you're singing it yourself. Enjoy x
Em D Am C Am Em
EmThere's a man with a face like sorrow
Now he's Dgone for good
How could Amanyone hold you  C     Am  
Without feeling Emgood?
EmThere's a shop where the thoughts that I borrow
Swim around my head like Dsnow
How could Amanyone ignore you?C  Am  
EmSo play on, play on, play on
The skies are made verDmillion
We're singing in a Amconcrete star
OCh we're Amall just castles in the Emcards
EmThere's a hope in my blood when I see you
I hear Dcrashing drums
How could Amany other languageC  Am  
Hope to lead me Emon?
EmLittle sparks in the puddles shoot like darts
at all the things we might Dbe, you and me
and Amtime itself is frozenC  Am  
EmSo play on, play on, play on
The skies are made verDmillion
Killing all the Amsaints tonight
Oh play ConAm, you shadows of the Emnight
EmSo play on, play on, play on
The skies are made verDmillion
If all I was was Amall I felt
Then the Csun itAmself would start to Emmelt
Into CwaterAmfalls pouring down Emlike snow
Into CwaterAmfalls pouring down Emlike snow
Oh Amplay on
Em D Am C Am Em
EmSo play on, play on, play on
The skies are made verDmillion
Killing all the Amsaints tonight
OCh we're Amall just dancers in the Emnight

Em D Am C Am Em

There's a man with a face like sorrow

Now he's gone for good

Am C Am

How could anyone hold you

Without feeling good?

There's a shop where the thoughts that I borrow

Swim around my head like snow

Am C Am

How could anyone ignore you?

So play on, play on, play on

The skies are made vermillion

We're singing in a concrete star

C Am Em

Oh we're all just castles in the cards

There's a hope in my blood when I see you

I hear crashing drums

Am C Am

How could any other language

Hope to lead me on?

Little sparks in the puddles shoot like darts

at all the things we might be, you and me

Am C Am

and time itself is frozen

So play on, play on, play on

The skies are made vermillion

Killing all the saints tonight

C Am Em

Oh play on, you shadows of the night

So play on, play on, play on

The skies are made vermillion

If all I was was all I felt

C Am Em

Then the sun itself would start to melt

C Am Em

Into waterfalls pouring down like snow

C Am Em

Into waterfalls pouring down like snow

Oh play on

Em D Am C Am Em

So play on, play on, play on

The skies are made vermillion

Killing all the saints tonight

C Am Em

Oh we're all just dancers in the night
