-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
 
Em
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
Some legends are told
G
Some turn to dust or to gold 
C
But you will remember me
Am               D
Remember me, for centuries
 
Em
And just one mistake 
G
Is all it will take,
C
We’ll go down in history
Am              D
Remember me for centuries
 
 
Em      G      C
Heeeya, heeey, heeeya
Am              D
Remember me for centuries
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em
Mummified my teenage dreams
G
No it’s nothing wrong with me
C
The kids are all wrong, the story's all off
Am                D
Heavy metal broke my heart
 
 
Em
Come on come on and let me in 
G
Bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
C
This is for to match, the darkness that you felt,
Am                       D
I never meant for you to fix yourself
 
 
Em
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
Some legends are told
G
Some turn to dust or to gold 
C
But you will remember me
Am               D
Remember me, for centuries
 
 
Em
And just one mistake 
G
Is all it will take,
C
We’ll go down in history
Am              D
Remember me for centuries
 
Em      G      C
Heeeya, aheeey, heeeya
Am              D
Remember me for centuries
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em
And I can't stop till the whole world knows my name
G
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
C
Until you die for me, as long as there’s a light 
Am
My shadows over you
D            Em
Cos I-I am the opposite of amnesia
 
Em
You’re a cherry blossom,
G
You’re about to bloom
C
You look so pretty 
Am              D
But you’re gone so soon
 
 
Em
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
Some legends are told
G
Some turn to dust or to gold 
C
But you will remember me
Am                D
Remember me, for centuries
 
Em
And just one mistake 
G
Is all it will take,
C
We’ll go down in history
Am              D
Remember me for centuries
 
Em      G      C
Heeeya, heeey, heeeya
Am              D
Remember me for centuries
 
 
[Bridge]
(palm mute each chord after one strum)
 
Em              G
We’ve been here forever
    C                 D
And here’s the frozen proof
Em             G
I could scream forever
   C                D
We are the poisoned youth
 
 
Em
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
Some legends are told
G
Some turn to dust or to gold 
C
But you will remember me
Am                       D
Remember me, for centuries
 
Em
And just one mistake 
G
Is all it will take,
C
We’ll go down in history
Am              D
Remember me for centuries
 
Em         G            C
Heeeya, aheeey, heeeya
Am              D
Remember me for centuries

I don't understand why people are being so rude I think this tab is great and accurate and stuff. The only thing I would say is if you're against barre chords, like me, you can sub the B in the chorus for G and it sounds pretty okay.

This is very accurate and nice. (I'm not sure why people are saying it's utterly wrong...) However, I do believe the chorus should go like so: Em Some legends are told G Some turn to dust or to gold C But you will remember me Am D Remember me, for centuries Em And just one mistake G Is all it will take, C We?ll go down in history Am D Remember me for centuries That's not a matter of inaccuracy, just changing chords at the right time. It sounds a bit off if you change too early. But still very nice!! (: (:
