Tuning: Open (DADF#Ad) Essentially, this whole song is composed of the following progression: |d---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---| |A---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---| |F#--0-0---0-0-0-0-1-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-1-0---| |D---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---| |A---0-0---0-0-0-0-2-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-2-0---| |D---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---| And, well, that's it! The only other thing I could mention is that if you want to start the song off more quietly, you can play the following melody (I've seen YLT play this in some of their acoustic shows): |d------------------------------| |A------------------------------| |F#-----------------------------| |D------------------------------| |A---5-5--0-2-0---5-5---0-2-0---| |D------------------------------| Other than that, there's the solo, but, as usual, it's pretty hectic, so submit it if you think you might have it! Sometimes the bad guys come out on top, Sometimes the good guys lose We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds Sometimes the bad days retain their grip, Sometimes the good days fade Hurts the brain to think, hurts the head to drink But nothing ever stays the same, Nothing's explained The higher we go, the longer we fly 'Cause this is it for all we know, So say good night to me And lose no more time, no time Resisting the flow I heard you calling from far away, I thought I heard you cry Hadn't the voice to make it right, so I just cried I felt you slipping, slipping away, Before I could even see Try once more, lost my grip, you were gone But nothing ever stays the same, Nothing's explained The longer it takes, the looser the ties 'Cause this is it, for all we know, So say good night to me And lose no more time, no time Resisting the flow (solo) But nothing ever stays the same, Nothing's explained The stronger we wake, the faster we run 'Cause this is it, for all we know, So say good night to me And lose no more time, no time Resisting the flow
