Intro Riff x2:

You can move around and add some slides.
The end result is pretty cool.
But this is the closest to the original:

  G                        D                        A                        Bm

Hook:
   A                Bm
Uh-uh, have I been awake too long?
   A                   Bm
Ah-ah, I'm taking this way too far
   A                Bm
Uh-uh, have I been awake too long?

Verse 1:
G              F#                Bm                     E
   And then it hits me somewhere right between the eyes
         G                         F# (strum once and let it ring)
'Cause I know the cost of time and I've paid it all my life

Refrain, same as Intro Riff:
G                          D
Near or far, no matter how close you are
A                    Bm
Hopelessly united in entropy
G                            D
Could it be, the presence of memory
   A                              Bm
Is all we are, and all that we'll ever be?

Hook:
   A                Bm
Uh-uh, have I been awake too long?
   A                   Bm
Ah-ah, I'm taking this way too far
   A                Bm
Uh-uh, have I been awake too long?

Verse 2:
G             F#               Bm           E
   And then I tell myself it's just so far away
G                     F#        Bm             E
   Back to the old routine that fills my every day
G                 F#             Bm                 E
   Some pray the holy ghost will save them from the grave
G                                    F# (strum once and let it ring)
But I know the cost of time and I've paid it all my life

Solo:
G D A Bm
G D A Bm
G F# Bm E
G F# Bm (let it ring)

Solo 2:
