I couldn't find any lyrics, let alone chords for this online,
so I figured I'd do it all here.
Standard tuning, no capo. Not sure about the C#sus2 chord though -
please comment with a suggestion if you find it weird too.
Other than that I'm fairly certain this is
spot-on perfect. This is my first tab/chord thing,
so let me off for little innacurracies!
I did a guitar tutorial for this song on youtube,

Intro
E-A5
Verse
E* E*/B E*/A
Crushing dreams and crooked fault,
E E/B E/A
Trap me in a crowded parking lot,
E E/D# D A
I feel the tide is turning,
C#sus2 E
The ending chapter starts to fade,
Dadd9 Gadd9
Do I really belong here anymore, anyway?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_academy_is/chicago_crd.html ]
E B/F#
I can’t sleep on nights like these,
C#sus2
stuck in Chicago staring at the ceiling,
A/E
I’m looking for something to believe in.
E
Walk these city streets,
B/F#
do you remember me, remember when,
C#sus2
when I was all that you needed,
A/E
Chicago I’m leaving.
E* E*/B E*/A
I count my memories of you,
E* E*/B E*/A
empty bottle midnight rendezvous,
E* E*/D# D A
outside, insides burning.
C#sus2 E Dadd9 Gadd9
Do I really belong here anymore, anyway?
E B/F#
I can’t sleep on nights like these,
C#sus2
stuck in Chicago staring at the ceiling,
A/E
I’m looking for something to believe in.
E
Walk these city streets,
B/F#
do you remember me, remember when,
C#sus2
when I was all that you needed,
A/E C# B
Chicago I’m leaving.
B E
I'm leaving
Interlude:
E - A5 - C#sus2 - E - B (Crescendo on the B)
E B/F#
I can’t sleep on nights like these,
C#sus2
stuck in Chicago staring at the ceiling,
A/E
I’m looking for something to believe in.
E
Walk these city streets,
B/F#
do you remember me, remember when,
C#sus2
when I was all that you needed,
A/E
Chicago I’m leaving.
Repeat last chorus until you're dead from the awesome, then play:
E - A5
Good luck!
