Notes:
Props to Dr. Leonard and all his great Dawes charts, but I felt
like his one on this song didn't quite get the feel right,
so I've gone through and made one myself.
 
If you're a beginner who can't quite barre yet, transpose down 4
semitones, slap a capo on the 5th fret, and you'll have a mostly
open version in the same key! For those who like some smooth barre
action, Capo 1 lets you play the bass part underneath if you're a
one-man band :)
 
Bsus4 B riff (rel. to capo) at end of verse:
e|----7-------7--|---------------|
B|--------5------|-4-------------|
G|------4-------4|---------------|
D|-4-------------|---------------|
A|---------------|---------------|
E|---------------|---------------|
I don't use this, but instead appoximate it with a B barre, using
an open high E string for the 4th, then the normal 3rd on the B
string.
 
Also, at the end of the Pre-Chorus, they play a full measure of B,
then there's a soft break on the 1 of the next measure with B. I've
never seen this notated on UG, so I just wrote: | B  N.C.|
 
For the little arpeggiated thing during the B in the bridge, I pick
a B with an added 4th and 6th:
e|-0
B|-4
G|-1
D|-4
A|-2
E|-x
 
Capo: 1st
 
[Intro]
|E |A | (x4)
 
[Verse 1]
E                        C#m
This ones going out to you
      Bm7               A
As the taxi pulls away
   E                A               Bsus4  B
A song to keep you company for the ride
 
                   E                  C#m
There's something wrong with a goodbye
        Bm7              A
In the middle of the day
       E                 A                 Bsus4  B
So pretend I am still sitting at your side
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   A                     | A      C#m |
And if you want to talk about all the differences
              B                  B
Between the shackle and the man
                   A           | A    C#m |   B  | B  N.C.|
or if you’ve got reasons no one ever let you say
 
[Chorus]
            E    A    E   A
Then fire away
       E    A    E   E
Fire away
 
[Verse 2]
           E               C#m
This ones going out to you
        Bm7                A
On the day they let you out
          E                A              Bsus4  B
For the thousand ways they ask if you're okay
 
                  E (huge drum break) C#m
Because whatever answer that you give
                 Bm7                A
It’s only gonna play into their doubts
              E               A                  Bsus4 B
And be just half of what’s behind each word you say
 
[Pre-Chorus}
               A                  | A     C#m |
So if you finally roped that heartbreak song
           B                 B
That the experts never could
                  A             | A      C#m |    B | B  N.C.|
Or if you just wanted someone to listen to you play
 
[Chorus]
            E    A    E    A
Then fire away
                (ayyy-yyyy)
            E    A    E    A
     Fire away
                (ayyy-ayyy)
            G#   |C#m  B | A | A |
     Fire away
 
[Verse 3]
           E               C#m
This ones going out to you
         Bm7              A
If you ever start to slip
          E               A                       Bsus4  B
And you learn to read between these lines you've drawn
 
               E (double-time drum) C#m
When what is wrong and what is right
                         Bm7              A
Seem more like just the ocean and the ship
            E                      A                 Bsus4  B
And the straight line that you've followed here is gone
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              A                      | A      C#m |
And if that same old fox comes and sweeps you up
       B                     B
Each time you spread your wings
                   A                    | A      C#m |       B |
I could at least love you through each stumble, shift and sway
 
|Bsus4 | B7 | B  N.C.|
 
 
[Chorus]
            E    A    E    A
Then fire away
                (ayyy-yyyy)
            E    A    E    A
     Fire away
                (ayyy-ayyy)
            G#   |C#m  B | A | A |
     Fire away
