Hi there!  I hope this song gets released sometime soon!
Maybe it's hidden on the new album... there's a thought ;)
(However, an article I read specifically said it wasn't on 
the album.) 
**UPDATE** The link I used to tab this has been removed :(  
Here is a terrible quality live version that still works to
get the rhythm down. Give it a listen, but beware it's crap
quality big time!

The F can be played as a Fmaj7/A [x03210]. Also,
I found the lyrics online and left the all caps
parts of the chorus in there like that.  I think 
it's actually kinda cool ;)

.....
           Am             F
You've got scars on your body & your soul
C                       Gsus
Bruises on your back now
       Am           F
Broken heart with nowhere to go
C                     Gsus
Living in a high-rise flat
      Am               F
Torn apart, so keep on keeping it together
C                       Gsus
Nothing is forever, you know
        Am     F               C         Gsus
You can start again like this, like this
                       Am
Now I see blood in the sky
            F
BLOOD IN MY EYESIGHT
                 C          Gsus
And everything's turning to red
                  Am             F
So we'll beat it away, color the nightlife
                 C           Gsus
and light me up, BURN ME TODAY
                        Am
I'm seeing blood in the skyline
             F
STUCK IN THE RIGHT MIND
        C
Afraid again to leave any dream
    Gsus                     Am     F
and replace it with anything better
   C                                Am
    -once                           
So get up... and take away YOUR SCARS
                      F
And you can never be alone 
          C
If you're bleeding with the skyline
Gsus                      Am
Waiting for the right time
                         F
When the night's already gone
          C                      Gsus
It's been traveling without your mind now
       Am
Let it let go and fuel you
     F
Like petrol you find so much
C                        Gsus
Beauty in what makes you mental
                 Am
Your friends know it's only
               F                       C
A state of mind, you're only getting by
                  Gsus
By always getting high, that's why
                       Am
Now I see blood in the sky
            F
BLOOD IN MY EYESIGHT
                 C          Gsus
And everything's turning to red
                  Am             F
So we'll beat it away, color the nightlife
                 C           Gsus
and light me up, BURN ME TODAY
                        Am
I'm seeing blood in the skyline
             F
STUCK IN THE RIGHT MIND
        C
Afraid again to leave any dream
    Gsus                     Am     F
and replace it with anything better
   C -once                           
So get up... and take away YOUR SCARS
        Am    F        C     Gsus
You can take away your scars
        Am    F
You can take away....fades out
**I'll update with the complete tab when the song
gets released**
Have fun!
