Can't really explain the rhythm, so just try and play along with the recording,
it's not difficult.
In the Intro you play a plain G or this variation:
e|--x----|
B|--x----|
G|--4----|
D|--0----|
A|--2----|
E|--3----|
Verse:
G Am
what were you thinking writing on the roof top
C
waiting for something or maybe someone
G Am
and you were laughing circling the road block
C Em
you put in front of, to keep your heart locked
C Am
don't try and hide it, it's all your left with
Em
you will need more than gaining affection
C Am
don't try and fight it, what you've been offering
Em
doesn't even match up with what you're born with
Intro again
Verse:
G Am
if this is the last of your kind, well don't be blind
C
and leave it to others
if this is the last of your kind, well don't be blind
and leave it to others
C Am
go memorize all of your locations
Em
you are nowhere, you are nothing vacant
C Am
don't give your eyes to other's vocations
Em
they are there to keep you in your station
Refrain with tacets:
G Am
don't try and hide it, don't try and fight it
Em
don't try and hide it, don't try to hide it fight it
Verse:
and what the hell were you putting your faith in?
something you could not, someone you look too
and now you watch it, always floating over
what you would long for, what you were born to
don't memorize all of your locations
you are nowhere, you are nothing vacant
don't give your eyes to other's vocations
they will only keep you in your station
Refrain:
don't try and hide it, don't try and fight it
don't try and hide it, don't try to hide it fight it
