Tabbed by: pianoman43092

Tuning: Standard eBGDAE
Amazing song by an amazing band. I'm sorry but I didn't feel like taking the time 
to tab out the solos. But what is here is 100% correct. Play it well:)
[Verse 1]
Em
Never feared for anything.
Em
Never shamed, but never free.
  G                   D               Bmadd11      C
A light that healed a broken heart with all that it could.
Em
Lived a life so endlessly.
Em
Saw beyond what others see.
  G                   D               Bmadd11     C
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could.
C              D
Will you stay, will you stay away foREVer?
[Chorus]
Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
    Am                            Em/G         D
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned.
Em                    G
Place and time always on my mind.
      Am                            C      D
I have so much to say but you're so far away.
[Verse 2]
Em
Plans of what our futures hold,
Em
foolish lies of growing old.
   G                 D           Bmadd11      C
It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold.
Em
A final song, a last request.
Em
A perfect chapter laid to rest.
G              D            Bmadd11       C
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
C                   D
where you can stay, you can stay away foREVer.
[Chorus]
Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
  Am                              Em/G          D
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned.
Em                    G
Place and time always on my mind.
      Am                            C      D
I have so much to say but you're so far away.
[Bridge]
E                   C
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid.
    Am                      Em  Em7
The ones that we love are here with me.
E          C
Lay away a place for me. 
          D                     Dsus4 Cadd9       D         Dsus4
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way to live eternally.
[Chorus]
Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
  Am                              Em/G           D
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned.
Em                    G
Place and time always on my mind.
             Am                            C          D
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
          Am                             C    D   Em
when I have so much to say and you're so far away.
[Interlude]
Em  D  Am  G  D/F#  Em  D/A  Cmaj7
[Outro]
Em          D                 Am
  I love you, you were ready.
            G          D/F#    Em  D  Cmaj7
The pain is strong and urges rise.
Em             D                Am
  But I see you when it lets me.
             G          D/F#      Em  D  Cmaj7
Your pain is gone, your hands untied.
Em D      Cmaj7
So far away.
Em      D             Cmaj7
  And I need you to know.
Em D      Cmaj7
So far away.
Em      D                        Cmaj7
  And I need you to, need you to know.
