You'll need to tune all the strings on your guitar down a step and a half to play this song.

This song switches strumming style back and forth between palm muted strums,rapid down strums and
big open strums. Listen to: https://youtu.be/IlqOREk35AE to get a better idea of the nuances of when each 
strumming pattern is used and how the palm muting in the verses sounds.

Your third finger stays on the third fret of the first string for the whole song.

During the chorus, instrumental and outro sections - the guitar is sometimes hitting second fret of the fifth
string when switching from A7sus2 to Cmaj7sus2 and vice versa.

  I am so blis

sfully unaware

Kids in Gaza are bombed, and I'm just out of it

    The tensio

[Verse 3]

The cities lie

 like tumours 

all across the

 world

A cancer eating mankind, hitting it on blindside

They say I'm a

Any decent rhyme or reason for the life of you and me
         
But I believe
