This song is pretty sweet and fairly easy to play.
The trick is the bass part.  I alternate between the two bottom strings with the rythm.  
comes out sounding okay.
standard- Capo First Fret
intro- E  
EI'm a living sunset Lightning in my bones
Push me to the edge But my will is stone
'Cause DI beliAeve in a better wayE  
EFools will be fools And wise will be wise
But i will look this world Straight in the eyes
DI beliAeve in a better wayE  
I believe in a better way
EWhat good is a man Who won't take a stand
What good is a cynic With no better plan
DI beliAeve in a better wayE  
I believe in a better way
EReality is sharp It cuts at me like a knife
Everyone i know Is in the fight of their life
DI beliAeve there's a better wayE  
ETake your face out of your hands And clear your eyes
You have a right to your dreams And don't be denied
DI belAieve in a better way         E(Repeat to fade)
