---REPEAT CHORUS 3x--- Song ends on an Am chord
Jesus,
jesus help me
i'm alone in this world
and a fucked world it is too
Tell me
Tell me the story
the one about enternity
and the way it's all gonna be...
-chorus-
Wake up
wake up dead man (x2)
Jesus
i'm waiting here boss
I know your looking out for us
but maybe your hands aren't free
your father
he made the world in seven
he's in charge of heaven
will you put a word in for me
(chorus x2)
Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do
listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
listen to the reed in the saxaphone
listen over the hum of the radio
listen over the sounds of blades on rotation
listen through the traffic and circulation
listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
listen over marching bands playing out their time
(chorus x2)
jesus
were you just around the corner
did you think and try to warn her
or are you working on something new
if there's an order
in all of this disorder
is it like a tape recorder
can we rewind it just once more
(chorus x2)

the keyboard stuff is pretty straight forward....i didn't take the time to figure it
out, seeming i don't have keyboard handy. Also, you can call me lazy, but the bendy
fills the edge does in the 3rd and 4th choruses are no brainers...it was done with
multi-tracking...so...you'd need another guitar to do it...and if you had two guitars
playing the song...the 2nd guitarist would be pretty damn bored...but, if you are a
creative soul, and have actually incorperated a 2nd guitar part here they are:
1st(e)|------12b14-12b14---|------10b12-10b12-----|
also theres a fill during the "listen" part it's a little sometin' like dis:
3rd(G)|--2/4--4/5--5/7--5/2------|
