*note* the intro/verse chord progression is sort of irregularly arpeggiated
and played free hand. the parenthesis are indicative of the high E MajorE string
being picked at some point during the arpeggiation of each chord in question.

intro: [Amaj7Amaj7  G#m(aug)] x2  F#m(7)  G#m(aug)  Amaj7Amaj7  G#m(aug)

Amaj7Amaj7             G#m(aug) Amaj7Amaj7            G#m(aug)
   i accidentally touched my head     and noticed i had been bleeding

F#m(7)           G#m(aug)  Amaj7Amaj7  G#m(aug)
   for how long i didn't know

F# minorF#m     F#dimF#dim         C# minorC#m     C#m/Bb
  what was this, i thought, that struck me??

F# minorF#m       F#dimF#dim       C# minorC#m C#m/Bb F# minorF#m      F#dimF#dim    C# minorC#m C#m/Bb
  what kind of weapons have they got??      the softest bullet ever shot

and then some orchestration with no intelligible guitar (and not much in the way
of basic chords either...)

and then a bridge of sorts:

C# minorC#m  A, basic chords, played under this riff (approximately):
e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--------2-4-4b5-4-2---------------------------------------------------|
A--(2h4)-------------4--2h4--4-2p0-------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

then what i'm calling the chorus:

E MajorE             Aadd9Aadd9 (x07600) Amaj7add9 (x06600) A6add9 (x04600)
 i stood up and i said, "yeah!!"

E MajorE             Aadd9Aadd9 Amaj7add9 A6add9
 i stood up and i said, "yeah!!"

E MajorE             Aadd9Aadd9 Amaj7add9 A6add9  BB
 i stood up and i said, "hey!! yeah!!   yeah!!"

then another bridge of sorts (this is pretty sketchy; VERY basic chords...):

C# minorC#m

         C# minorC#m        F#m(7)
from this moment on, blaring like a trumpet

      Amaj7Amaj7         G#m(aug)
comin' from above us and somewhere below

  F#m(7)    C# minorC#m
the confidence of knowing

       F#m(7)            Amaj7Amaj7    E MajorE
descending to relieve us of the struggle to believe it's so

chorus:


E MajorE             Aadd9Aadd9 Amaj7add9 A6add9
 i stood up and i said, "yeah!!"

E MajorE             Aadd9Aadd9 Amaj7add9 A6add9
 i spoke up and i said, "hey!!"

E MajorE             Aadd9Aadd9 Amaj7add9 A6add9  BB
 i stood up and i said, "hey!! yeah!!   yeah!!"


then another bridge-esque thing (notes in parenthesis indicate notes that
SHOULD be played, but are hard/impossible to get at):

 Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE CaugCaug Cmajb5 C#sus4C#sus4 C# minorC#m  G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7 Bsus4Bsus4 B minorBm  D5D5 D5maj7 D MajorD
e--2----0----4----2-----------------3----2----0-------------------2-------|
B--0----0----1----1------7-----5----0----0----x----3----3----2----3-------|
G--1----1----x----x------6-----6----0----0----4----4----2----2----2-------|

A--2----2---(3)--(3)-----4-----4----2----2----2----2----------------------|
E--0----0---------------------------3----3--------------------------------|

then this trippy little thing (just the rough notes; sort of improv'ed):
  D MajorD   E MajorE    A augmentedA
e------5------7-------------7---------9--------------------------------|
B----7------9-------10---10---10---10----------------------------------|
G--7------9-------9----9---------9-------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|
and it seemed to cause a chain reaction
it had momentum; it was gainin' traction
it was all the rage; it was all the fashion
the outreached hands had resigned themselves
to holdin' on to something that they...

  E MajorE     A augmentedA
e------7------------7---9----------7---9-------------------------------|
B----9---------10-------------10---------------------------------------|
G--9--------/9----9---9----/9----9---9---------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|
...never had, and that's too bad

     F# minorF#m       E MajorE
cos in reality there was no reaction


[Amaj7Amaj7  G#m(aug)] x2  F#m(7)  G#m(aug)  Amaj7Amaj7  G#m(aug)

Amaj7Amaj7             G#m(aug) Amaj7Amaj7            G#m(aug)
   i accidentally touched my head     and noticed i had been bleeding

F#m(7)           G#m(aug)  Amaj7Amaj7  G#m(aug)
