Don't be so hard with criticism please, was just my second submitted chord ;)

The similar accoustic version "Live at the Apple Store" on "If we could only see
us now" is played with Capo on the 1st fret - but you also can play it without.


[Verse]
            
Late night, br

              
akes lock, hea

            
r the tires sq

ueal
              
Red light, can

              
't stop so I s

        
pin the wheel
              
My world goes 

              
black before I

  
 feel an angel

 lift me up
            
And I open blo

         
odshot eyes in

to fluorescent

 white
             
They flip the 

              
siren, hit the

             
 lights, close

              
 the doors and

         
 I am gone


[Bridge:]
 ->  -> 

            
Now I lay here

              
 owing my life

       
 to a stranger
              
And I realize 

      
that empty wor

ds are not eno

ugh
      
I'm left here 

with the quest

ion of just
            
What have I to

              
 show except t

    
he promises I 

never kept?
             
I lie here sha

              
king on this b

     
ed, under the 

weight of my r

egrets


[Chorus]
             
I hope that I 

              
will never let

         
 you down
             
I know that th

              
is can be more

            
 than just fla

             
shing lights a

    
nd sound

[Verse]
Em (just one strike)                         C
Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
G (just one strike)                         D
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that 
            
there's A diff

              
erence between

              
 sleight of ha

         
nd, and giving

 everything yo

u have
             
There's a line

              
 drawn in the 

           
sand, I'm work

ing up the wil

l to cross it 

and


[Chorus]
             
I hope that I 

              
will never let

         
 you down
             
I know that th

              
is can be more

            
 than just fla

             
shing lights a

    
nd sound


[Verse]
 
Rhetoric can't

 raise the dea

d
              
I'm sick of al

      
ways talking w

hen there's no

 change

Rhetoric can't

 raise the dea

d
              
I'm sick of em

             
pty words, let

             
's lead and no

   
t follow


            
Late night, br

My world goes

 steal me from

 the
            
Greedy jaws of

              
 death and cha

          
nce, and pull 

me in with ste

ady hands
             
They've given 

              
me a second ch

           
ance, the arti

[Chorus]
             
I hope that I

Can we pick yo
