     This is my very first tab ever! So bare with me. Thanks. I love
you guys.
More too come.


     The whole song is in power chords but if you want, at the chorus
you can
go into full chords.

     Intro.:   (On the C, Strum-Bend-Then unbend without strumming
again.)
A     C (bend)
A     C (bend)  
(Whole thing x4)
(On the third Repeat Bass and Drums come in.)

     Verse 1:
A
I don't believe another song could ever change the world
A
I don't believe that little boys grow up to be little girls
D
I don't believe that wishing really ever made it so
A
I don't believe you love me you don't tell me anymore.
C                                                 D                    
   A
I don't believe that suicide could ever open up any doors

     Verse 2:
(Same Chords as Verse 1)
Can't count on my lucky star, I don't know where it's at
Can't count on my fingers, I've got more sense than that
Can't count on my money, it all goes to pay the rent
Can't count on philosophy if I don't know what it meant
There's a time for counting one by one and for counting what's been
spent

     Chorus:
A                                 E                     D              A
Some people live there lives like there on number 9
      A                   E                 D              A   (Let A
die out
till silent)
But I'm gonna be around for a long, long time

     Verse 3:
   A (Mute with palm, getting louder and louder)
I see a stately temple, standing in a trance
I see the saints of God braking in dance
  D (un-mute on D, play the rest of the verse the same as Verse 1)
I see a band of angels running up and down the stairs
I see a thousand sparrows floating in the air.
I see a love sick savior and I can see the scares that he wares
          C                                     D
A
Oh I see a love sick savior and I can see the scars that he wears


Chorus 1

     Chorus 2:
   (Play just like Chorus 1, just different words.)
I don't wanna live my life in an endless nursery rhyme
I'm gonna be around for a long, long time

Chorus 1
Intro.

 

     That should about do it. I think it's more acurate than the one
you've 
  already got so here you go. If mine gets in there please tell me.
