Intro... (play confidently and sharply)

D# (one fast strum)- A# (another fast strum)- G (all X four)

Verse-

D#           A#                     G#

  I know the night has reached that stage again,

                                D#
Where I never wanna see my home,

            A#                 G#
I know that you'll provide the brains,

                             D#
But who'll provide the brawn,

          A#                   G#
And if it comes down to me and him,


You know I'd kiss you better,

D#         A#          G#           
I kept the message you sent to me...




Chorus-   (now this is trickier to get the timing, but on 'bare-with',
do two hard strums of C... and on the rest of the chorus, use the G*
and G by hammering on and off the barre at the right points.  The song
Will give the best timing for it- so just listen to it.)

C    C   G   G*...G...G*.. etc

Bare with me,


If youre scared,


My beliefs make me bound



Verse 2- 
D#            A#                 G#

  I think its time we compiled a list,

                               D#
Of places where we shouldnt go,

       A#                        G#
Now is not the time to lose your voice,
                         
                           D#
Everyone should have a choice,

       A#              G#
And if you should ever fall,


You know I'd kiss you better,

D#           A#               G#    
  I kept the letters that you sent to me


Chorus- (same strumming.. just different lyrics...)

C     C    G ...G*...G..G*.. etc
Close your eyes,

If you're scared,

My beliefs will make you drown

Break- (single strums of Bb and F for the first two lines,
       then go for strumming them faster on the other two)

Bb              F                     G
You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen


etc...

outro- 

D#, A#, G#  (times four, again)
