The only recording of this song is from a live show, so no one (other than the band) is
100% sure about the lyrics. You may have to play down or up half a step based on how
your guitar is tuned. There's a couple parts where I'm leaving it up to the individual 
to improvise, like on the solo and that little quiet spot near the end.

D

D
Breaking in a sweat
D
Like a bomb threat
A
Use your silhouette, faded out

D
Nothing left to lose
D
Detonate the fuse
A
Another break and you fall out

D
Getting off a binge
D
Get a second wind
A
Another promise, just make a change

D
Got a broken wing
D
Hear the angels sing
A
With a signal that's out of range
A
make a change, make a change

D
Carpe diem, a battle cry
D
aren't we all too young to die
D
Ask for reason, and no reply
D
aren't we all too young to die
D
Making a living
D
Making a killing
D
What's worth forgiving
A
A life

D
And the other night
D
Barely scraping by
A
Dominated by passer-by's

(same chords as above)
Feeling out of luck
When the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling so left behind

(same chords)
Getting off a binge
Get a second wind
Another promise, just make a change

(same chords)
Got a broken wing
Hear the angels sing
With a signal that's out of range

A
any change any change

D
Carpe diem, a battle cry
D
aren't we all too young to die
D
Ask for reason, and no reply
D
aren't we all too young to die

D
Making a living
D
Making a killing
D
What's worth forgiving
A
A life

(same chords as above, but palm muted)
Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth forgiving
A life/alive

(same chords as other chorus)
Carpe diem, a battle cry
are/aren't we all too young to die
Ask for reason, and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die

Carpe diem, a battle cry
are/aren't we all too young to die
Ask for reason, and no reply
Are/aren't we all too young to die
