Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
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,
here's the link:

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?
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.

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:

Good luck!
