Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 4 half steps down [ -4 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 4 to stay in the same key

Basically the same four chords throughout the song (G#m E B F#). Play the riff when needed.

Verse:
Abm                     E 
Come to decide that the things that I tried
     B                Gb
Were in my life just to get high on

Abm              E
When I sit alone come get a little known
B                     Gb
But I need more than myself this time

Abm                       E
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
      B              Gb
And I do believe it we rely on

Abm
When I lay it on
E
Come get to play it on
B              Gb
All my life to sacrifice

Chorus:
Abm E  B       Gb   Abm  E B Gb   
Hey oh, Listen what I say, oh

Abm E  B       Gb         Abm  E B Gb   
hey oh, Now listen what I say, oh

Verse - same as first -:
When will I know that I really can´t go
To the well once more time to decide on
When it's killing me
When will I really see
All that I need to look inside
Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me
What do I really need
All that I need to look inside

Chorus:
Abm E  B       Gb   Abm  E B Gb   
Hey oh, Listen what I say, oh

The more I see

The less I know

The more I like to let it go
Abm       E
Hey oh…

B                         Gb
People need the cover of another perfect wonder
Dbm
Where it's so white as snow

B                      Gb
Privately divided by a work so undecided
              Dbm  
And there's nowhere to go

B                         Gb
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Dbm
Where it's so white as snow

B                                     Gb
Running through a field where all my tracks will be concealed
             Dbm
and there is nowhere to go

Oh!

Verse - same as first -:
When to descend to amend for a friend
all the channels that are broken down
Now you bring it up
I'm gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Chorus:
Abm E  B       Gb   Abm  E B Gb   
Hey oh, Listen what I say, oh

I got your
Abm E  B       Gb         Abm  E B Gb   
hey oh, Now listen what I say, oh

Bridge:
E
The more I see

The less I know

The more I like to let it go
Abm       E
Hey oh…

B                         Gb
People need the cover of another perfect wonder
Dbm
Where it's so white as snow

Privately divided by a work so undecided
              Dbm  
And there's nowhere to go

B                         Gb
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Dbm
Where it's so white as snow

B                                     Gb
Running through a field where all my tracks will be concealed
