F#m C#m F#m C#m
This is the life of a woman with demons
F#m C#m F#m C#m
The first time we met I was sure she was steaming
Dm Dm
This is my life, this is my life
F#m C#m F#m C#m
What a life
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Life isn’t precious and life isn’t sacred
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Sometimes release only comes when you meet death
Dm Dm
A night of reprieve we were wrecked
F#m C#m F#m C#m
when we slept in the park
Dm Dm
When we woke in the morning you cried
Am Em F G
could I squeeze out the dark
Am Em F G
Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Am Em F G
Get them out of my head
Am Em F G
Bring on the screaming and I’ll take your demons
Am Em F Em
now that I’m already dead
[same as verse above]
Days of release when she almost felt better
Gradually faded and words couldn’t get her
Where is the light, where is the light, get the light
Fearless and clear all her doubts had been cast off
Last night alive is a nightmare I’m part of
Dreams are a lie, dreams are a lie
So am I
If that’s all there is then I might as well get in the fire
[same as chorus]
Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Get them out of my head
Bring on the screaming and I’ll take your demons now that I’m already dead
Oh how the rights of the righteous kept coming
Shining before like the day
I stand before them and cried that you’re dying your way
F#m C#m F#m C#m F#m C#m F#m
I’m still not sure if the right and the wrong side is one

This seems pretty accurate to me. One thing though. During the chorus lyrics, you have the chord changes at certain intervals. Now, right before the lyrics, you have one set of those chords. If you play that one set with the changes at the same intervals as the lyrical part, there would be TWO sets of Am, Em, F and G before the singin' starts. I'm basing this on the album version, and you mentioned using the live as a reference, so maybe that's why. I just thought I'd let you know. :) Five stars all the same of course!
Wheres the key change in the final chorus??
