tried looking for the chords of this song but couldn't find any.
so i thought i'd make one.
oh, by the way, i think Matthew Perryman Jones is awesome...
intro: E A E A

Sad like a melody sung by a symphony
A Am
striking a chord.

Standing here looking blind,
A Am
stumble around to find my way through your door.
D+6add9 E
Do you wanna know why?
D+6add9 E
Do you wanna know why?
Bridge: A E A
E
Hungry as starving fire killing to feed desire.
A Am
What do you do?
E
We’re born into vanity, bones feeling everything.
A Am
Are we alone?
D+6add9 E
Do you wanna know why?
D+6add9 E
Cuz I wanna know why

Say it’s true,

that life’s worth all the dying we do.

A Am E

A beautiful melody sung by a symphony,

END
things to remember:
1) when playing the verse parts, all A notes should be played as so:
E| x
B| x
G| 2
D| 2
A| x
E| -
while the rest of the A notes should be played like:
E| x
B| 2
G| 2
D| 2
A| x
E| -
2) for the D+6add9:
E| x
B| x
G| 3
D| 4
A| 5
E| -
3) before "Oh, Amelia" i found that it sounds better to stop strumming after A and
on E. let it hanging on for a bit.
4) i just learned guitar a few months ago so comments and improvements are welcome.
