First Verse:
Play all of that five times, singing comes in on the second.

Lyrics- Dark streets carry me home now
        I've stayed to long
        We're brave men to sip the stars dry
        And leave sleep alone

        Built this house out of a fate driven dream \_ 2x
        And these walls aren't what they seemed     /

Second Verse:
Play it four times.

Lyrics- Hurt stays when the work is over
        We've stayed too long
        I'll save what memory lends me
        When these days are gone

        Built this house out of a fate driven dream \_ 2x
        And these walls aren't what they seemed     /

First verse, play this the fourth and fifth times

Both times, it should be played when these lyrics are sung:
"Built this house out of a fate driven dream
 And these walls aren't what they seemed."

Play twice after the previous part, and sing.
For the second verse, only play once, and stop at
the first note in the second to last measure, and
let that note ring and fade.


Lyrics- Light breaks against
        And I can't follow you down

Play this four times, singing, yelling really.

|--0----------------|  The fourth time, strum this chord, instead

They throw in bass and drums on this part, too, it's the
unexpected loud, angsty ending.  It's really hard to hear
the acoustic guitar through everything, so those chords are
my best guess, play around with it and listen to the song.


Lyrics- Dark streets carry me home now
        I've stayed too long
        We're brave men to sip the stars dry
        And leave sleep alone

        Hurt stays when the work is over
        We've stayed too long
        We're brave men to sip the stars dry
        And leave ourselves alone
