Rise Against - Audience Of One Chords & Tabs

Audience of One chords
Artist: Rise Against
Tabbed by: Preston Turner
email: presto4132@comcast.net
Tuning: 1/2 step down

I tabbed this while watching him play an acoustic version Live. This is as close as I 
could possibly get it.

If you chose to use full chords for D, A, and Bm, it sounds best if they are only used 
in the final chorus. The chords below sound best for the rest of the song, in my opinion.


      D    A    Bm    G or G
e|-------------------------3------|
B|----3----2----3----------3------|
G|----2----2----4-----4----0------|
D|----0----2----4-----5----0------|
A|----0----0----2-----5----2------|
E|--------------------3----3------|

The second G should really only be used in the chorus, if that.

D              A
 I can still remember
                        Bm
The words and what they meant
                           G
As we etched them with our fingers
                       D
In years of wet cement
                           A
The days blurred into each other
                         Bm
Though everything seemed clear
                    G
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rise_against/audience_of_one_crd_ver_3.html ]
Bm  A         G              D                A
 We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Bm   A     G                  A
 But even then we should have stayed

              Bm  G
But we ran away
    D              A
Now all my friends gone
Bm             G             D                   A
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
     Bm  G
Run away
         D              A
But what are we running from ?
  Bm                 G             D           A
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Bm   A    G
Where have they gone ?

D              A
 Identities assume us
                     Bm
As nine and five add up
              G
Synchronizing watches
                            D
To the seconds that we lost
                A
I looked up and saw you
                    Bm
I know that you saw me
                   G
We froze but for a moment
In empathy

Bm         A        G               D               A
 I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
Bm   A       G           A
 You gave my emptiness a name

               Bm  G
But you ran away
    D              A
Now all my friends gone
Bm             G             D                   A
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
     Bm  G
Run away
         D              A
But what are we running from ?
  Bm                 G             D           A
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Bm   A    G
Where have they gone ?

Bm     G   D               Bm  G     A
 We’re all okay, until the day we’re not
Bm   G       D                 Bm G    A
 The surface shines, while the in-side rots
Bm  G         D             Bm G    A
 We raced the sunset and we al-most won
Bm  G           D               Bm     G    
A   G
 We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

          Bm  G
We ran away
    D              A
Now all my friends gone
Bm             G             D                   A
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
     Bm  G
Run away
         D              A
But what are we running from ?
  Bm                 G             D           A
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Bm   A    G
Where have they gone ?
