Bah, I wanted a good chord 'tab', so here it is!


   G G* Gsus2  D Dsus4 D/F# D/F#* G/F#  Cadd9 C6add9  Em Em7  Am  Am7 Am7*
E|-3-3--3------0-0-----2----2-----2-----0-----0-------0--0----0---0---0-|
A|-2-2--0------0-0-----0----0-----3-----3-----3-------2--2----0---0---0-|
D|-0-0--0------0-0-----0----0-----0-----2-----0-------2--2----2---2---2-|
G|-0-0--2------2-2-----2----2-----0-----0-----2-------0--0----2---0---0-|
B|-0-3--3------3-3-----3----0-----3-----3-----3-------0--3----1---1---1-|
e|-3-3--3------2-3-----3----0-----3-----3-----3-------0--3----0---0---3-|
These can be mixed around (Gs with other Gs, etc), but the ones I put with the song, I 
prefer. So if you're like me, and like to be lazy, try strumming, G*, G*, G*, D/F#, Em7, 
Em7, Em7, D/F# (Repeat)

Note: G/F# is a special one, (I made it up :P) and is difficult to swap out of this 
song, but you can at the end of the intro.
Instead of Cadd9 G/F# G, try Cadd9 D/F# G or Cadd9 Gsus2 G. It'll make the minor or 
whatever nasty sound a little less apparent.

Note #2: There's an odd delay in D/F#, not a mistake. The chords change where they 
change on the words, finally!

       (G)                      D/F#  Em
           I'm tired of waking up in  tears,
  D/F#  G                          D/F#    Em             Cadd9
           'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
        G                           D/F#  Em
           I'm new to this grief I can't  explain;
  D/F#  G                       D/F#  Em                  Cadd9
           But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain.

          But I know better than to leave and let it die
Chorus

    (D/F#)      G     D/F#         Em              Cadd9
          I'm a Silhouette, asking every now and then,
    (Cadd9)      G    D/F#         Em           Cadd9
          "Is it over yet?  Will I ever feel again?"
    (Cadd9)     G     D/F#          Em              Cadd9
          I'm a Silhouette, chasing rainbows on my own

Post-Chorus

    (Cadd9)       Am7           D            G      D    Em      D
          But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
    (D)        Cadd9               D/F#               G
          So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

           I'm sick of the past I can't erase,
  D/F#  G                             D/F#  Em                  Cadd9
           A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace,
        G                                   D/F#    Em
           The mountains of things that I still regret,
  D/F#  G                          D/F#     Em
           Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget
               Cadd9               D
           (No matter where I go)

    (Cadd9)     G     D/F#         Em              Cadd9
          I'm a Silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
