Chords with lyrics
This way of playing in the key of A augmentedA is a lot like the way most people play in the
key of E. I "invented" it, but I'm sure there've been countless people who've
already been playing it in this manner.

Verse:
E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
I listen to the sirens as they sing me back to sleep
E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
I pray that no one's seriously hurt
E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
It feels like everything is dying at the pivot point of me
E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
I listen to the sirens tell me things could still be worse
Pre-chorus:
D MajorD E MajorE
Cause if you close your eyes and listen close
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
You can hear the chapter close
D MajorD E MajorE
And its all rebound in better clothes
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
And you like the way this story goes
D MajorD E MajorE
Cause the sun still burns the shadows out
F# minorF#m C# minorC#m D MajorD
And there's nothing to complain about now
Chorus:
D MajorD E MajorE
Cause if this was our destiny I'd treasure the fact
F# minorF#m D MajorD
And I'd give you whats left of me if I'd held back
D MajorD E MajorE
But I don't need a soul
F# minorF#m D MajorD
No I don't need a soul to hold
D MajorD E MajorE
Without you I'm still whole
F# minorF#m D MajorD
You and life remain beautiful
Verse 2:
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Departing from the hospital
D MajorD
Ill news shows on your face too well
E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
You're trying not to cough at all it hurts
E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
All options are exhausted all your numbered days are numbered small
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I miss you now, I loved you
D MajorD
And I know things could still be worse
Side-notes/Clarifications:
- For the intro, the A, E, and F# minorF#m are constant. The D/C#m/C#m + D MajorD are endings that you use.
- After the chorus the first time through, when you sing "You and life remain beautiful"
put in the lyrics above), you can play a different E MajorE before going in the the standard E MajorE
to the song for it)

- Don't be hating because this is wrong. >_> This song was pretty hard to get the chords
not because the chords were anything non-standard, but it's really hard to hear
