Intro Riff [x4]
d duuududud*strum pattern is something like that, the first d is emphasized
Verse 1
D
First we’d climb a tree
D
and maybe then we’d talk
D
or sit silently
D
and listen to our thoughts
Cadd9
with illusions of someday
D
casting a golden light
C
no dress rehearsal,
D
this is our life
Intro Riff [x2]
Pre-Chorus
D Cadd9
that’s where the hornet stung me
D
and I had a feverish dream
Cadd9
with revenge and doubt
D
tonight, we smoke them out
Chorus
A G/B A
You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century, you are ahead
G/B
by a century
Intro Riff [x4]
Verse 2
D
Stare in the morning shroud
D
and then the day began
D
I tilted your cloud
D
you tilted my hand
Cadd9(drums enter same time)
rain falls in real time
D
and rain fell through the night
C D
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)

That’s when the hornet stung me
D
and I had a serious dream
Cadd9
with revenge and doubt

tonight, we smoked them out
