Easily possible without a capo on the second fret, 
it's just too fast for me to do it without one.
[Intro]
A      F#m
[Verse 1]
AMidnight stop on the street
ARed light feet on the ground
AAnd it feels right
F#mQuiet besides the engine I
F#mEscape into paradise
AIt goes green
AAnd I'm back at top speed
ANot another body in sight
F#mI am this perspective
F#mI'm the witness tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
BmI am alone
DBut I'm alive
[Chorus]
F#mEvery drop of Eholy water
AComes from the ocean
DFrom the ocean
F#mEvery atom Ein my body
AComes from exploding starsD  
Billions of Eyears agoA  
[Interlude]
A F#m
[Verse 2]
AOutside craning your neck
ABlue sky stretching your back with your arms wide
F#mTaking deep breaths to purify
F#mPretty sure that you could be certified
There Ais no God-damned thing in sight
AIt's all deemed good in his eyes
F#mYou are this perspective
F#mHere to witness the light
[Pre-Chorus]
BmYou are alone
DBut you're alive
[Chorus]
F#mEvery drop of Eholy water
AComes from the ocean
DFrom the ocean
F#mEvery atom Ein my body
AComes from exploding starsD  
Billions of Eyears agoA  
[Bridge]
F#mAll that rises must conC#mverge
It's only pain that makes us Dlearn
Exclusive, Aseparate Eturns infinite to infantF#m  
So I dive in and I get C#mburned
The depths are deep, and dark, and Dhurt
Baptize and AresurrectE  
Each death a new perspectiveD  
[Interlude 2]
D     A     E
**I usually hold the E, then slap, do a short rest, then start on the chorus**
[Chorus]
F#mEvery drop of Eholy water
AComes from the ocean
DFrom the ocean
F#mEvery atom Ein my body
AComes from exploding starsD  
Billions of Eyears agoA  
Ending
F#mEvery drop is Eholy water
AAll of us are Dsons and daughters
F#mEvery breath Einhaled is heaven sent
AMidnight stop on the street
ARed light feet on the ground
AAnd it feels right
F#mQuiet besides the engine I
F#mEscape into paradise
AIt goes green
AAnd I'm back at top speed
ANot another body in sight
F#mI am this perspective
F#mI'm the witness tonight
