#d duuududud*strum pattern is something like that, the first d is emphasized

#Verse 1
First wed climb a tree
and maybe then wed talk
or sit silently
and listen to our thoughts
with illusions of someday
casting a golden light
no dress rehearsal,
this is our life
Intro Riff (x2)
thats where the hornet stung me
and I had a feverish dream
with revenge and doubt
tonight, we smoke them out
You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century, you are ahead
by a century
Intro Riff (x4)
Stare in the morning shroud
and then the day began
I tilted your cloud
you tilted my hand
Cadd9(drums enter same time)
rain falls in real time
and rain fell through the night
no dress rehearsal, this is our life
Intro Riff (x2) (really hold on the D chord for the length of two intro riffs and
have an electric w/distortion strum Dsus2, the Dsus2 Csus2 for the next prechorus)
Thats when the hornet stung me
and I had a serious dream
with revenge and doubt
tonight, we smoked them out
You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century, you are ahead
by a century, you are ahead by a century,
d d d u
you are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century
G Intro Riff (x6)
and disappointing yous getting me down end with D strum
