Most of the song follows a simple chord structure, with guitar parts
throughout the song. Some parts have some of extra stuff going on
but I've just got the gist of it here. Good luck guys!

Spending the best years, of a childhood, horizontal on the floor

Verse 2 (3:00-3:50)
Bm A E
Someone retired, on a percentage, of the tithe, that paved these roads
Bm A E
They lead to nowhere, but they're still gridlocked, made of Solomon's pure gold
(w/ Main Riff at 3:26)
Bm A E
Beneath the door frame, waiting for earthquakes, after the rapture comes and goes
Bm A E
The saints went marching, the trumpets salving, the chosen ones are phoning a goal

Bm A E
And nothing, sounds, appealing, appealing
