B|-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|
D|-----------------------------|
A|-----------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|
 The second guitar plays D5 / Bb5 under this.
 Am I still alive?
  I think I've got it right...
 I'm made of light..
 Before I leave and go  away,
  There's some things I  must say,
  Before  - before I'm gone...
 On "gone", turn on distortion and play A5 / C5 twice.
 This same progression repeats for the next verse.
There's  so many possibilities  -
And  I'm just starting to see...
 Now go directly to the Chorus:
It's  like the  poets always said
  When  life is hanging  from a thread
  You  can hear that voice  in your head....
 And now return to the D5 / Bb5 sequence from the intro.
 The interlude is just a three-note riff on the E string:
e|----2-3-2-3-2-2-0---|
B|--------------------|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|
 For the rest of the song, use the pre-chorus and chorus chords.
 The coda is D5 / Bb5. End on D.
 Don't be afraid,
