STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 3 (Scroll down for no-capo version)
INTRO: | C- C/B| G| Dm- F| Am- G|
VERSE:
I Amshake through the wreckage for Gsigns of life
Scrolling through the pDmaragraphsF  
Clicking through the AmphotographsG  
I Amwish I could make sense of Gwhat we do
Burning down the DmcapitalsF  
The wisest of the AmanimalsG  
PRECHORUS:
FWho are you?
What are you Gliving foFr?
FTooth for tooth
Maybe we'll Ggo one Fmore
CHORUS:
This Clife C/B  
is lived in perfect Gsymmetry
What I DmdoF  
That will be Amdone to meG  
VERSE:
Read Ampage after page of Ganalysis
Looking for the Dmfinal scoreF  
We're no closer than we Amwere beforeG  
PRE-CHORUS:

And over Gso soon
There is no Fgolden gate
