[Intro]
 Bm   Asus4   A| 2x (strum Asus4 once and move to A)
 G   Bm   Asus4   A| 2x
Bm Asus4 A
Individual notes that McCready plays through intro are part of the chord.
[Verse 1] (listen to the timing)
        BmBorn of the water
      Asus4    ABorn of the flame
        BmThis life is a monster
      Asus4    ADon't you know it's name
        BmThe house it is wooden
      Asus4    AThe house it is stone
        BmThe proud broken hearted
      Asus4    AAnd close to the bone
        GOnce you had a nightmare
        BmAnd then it came to pass
      Asus4    ACrazy sky in the morning
        GGreen as the grass сovering a Bmgrave
Bsus2(hammeBmr-on the second string)
[Chorus]
 D(Dsus4  D   Dsus2   DDsus2)
      Asus4    AJust a slip away
 D(Dsus4  D   Dsus2   DDsus2)
      Asus4    AJust a slip away
 D(Dsus4  D   Dsus2   DDsus2)
        Mmhmm mmm
      Asus4    AJust a slip away
G
[Verse 2]
Down to the water
Drawn to the flame
This life will leave you crippled
Don't you know the game
Once you woke up choking
But then you held it down
Dry as the sand in the desert
Black as the clouds covering the sun
(Durin the awesome solo, play the same chords as in intro. Listen to the song for correct timing.)
