A--6---8---6---5---5---3---1---3--- the organ
E--6---6---4---3---0---3---1---1---
 (with the G*, just remove the barre)
 Intro... (play confidently and sharply)
  I know the night has reached that stage again,
 Where I never wanna see my home,
 I know that you'll  provide the brains,
 But who'll provide the brawn,
 And if it comes  down to me and him,
 You know I'd kiss you better,
I  kept the message  you sent  to me...
 (now this is trickier to get the timing, but on 'bare-with',
 do two hard strums of C... and on the rest of the chorus, use the G*
 and G by hammering on and off the barre at the right points. The song
 Will give the best timing for it- so just listen to it.)
*......*..  etc
 Bare with me,
 If youre scared,
 My beliefs make me bound
  I think its time we compiled a list,
 Of places where we shouldnt go,
 Now is not  the time to lose your voice,
 Everyone should have a choice,
 And if you  should ever fall,
 You know I'd kiss you better,
 I kept the letters  that you sent  to me
 (same strumming.. just different lyrics...)
 ...*.....*..  etc
 Close your eyes,
 If you're scared,
 My beliefs will make you drown
 (single strums of Bb and F for the first two lines,
  then go for strumming them faster on the other two)
You,  are you so scared  that your just gonna  let it happen
 You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
 You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
 You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
 etc...
 END
 I'm quite sure it's all spot on... you shouldn't have any trouble with it!
 Any queries, comments, kudos, etc message-
 Thanks! Enjoy!
