Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Intro- Bm (while guitarist 2 plays main intro riff)
to make things easier for you i thought i would tab the intro riff so your not just
playing a b chord on its own like a lemon.
Intro/Riff:

G|----4--------7-4-4-4---------7-4-----|

Verse
Bm Am F*m G Bm
It's not just the pain, the pain in my back
Am F*m G Bm
That laughs in my face, my face every night
Am F*m G
Or the poison that took my lungs
Bm Am F*m G
That keeps me from feeling warm.
Chorus
D Am G
But how could a rooftop view in London
D Am G
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
D Am G
Nothing has changed but now I fight with words
F*m Bm
And I can't see so good.
pre verse
(stay on bm and guitarist 2 play intro riff again)
verse
Bm Am F*M G Bm
And there's got to be more, much more than this.
Am F*m G Bm
I got pages of dreams, they're covered in piss
Am F*m G
And the poison that took my soul,
Bm Am F*m G
It keeps me from feeling anything.
Chorus
D Am G
And how could a rooftop view in London
D Am G
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
D Am G
Nothing has changed but now I fight with words
F*m Bm
And I can't see so good.
Bridge
Bm D G Am Bm D
And now I fight with the words,
G Am Bm D
And now I fight with the words,
G Am Bm D F*m G
Now I fight with the words.
Chorus
D Am G
And how could a rooftop view in London
D Am G
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
D Am G
Nothing has changed but now I fight with the words,
F*m Bm
And I can't see so good.
Outro
Keep playing intro riff throughout this except when you reach the slower end, it should fit
Bm D G Am Bm D
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good).
G Am Bm D
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good).
G Am Bm D
And I can't see so good.
