edit: some people have been saying the D isn't right. I guarantee you the chord is D, patrick is singing B
over it to harmonize.
[Intro]
Em Am Dsus2
[Chorus]
Em
Some legends are told
G
Some turn to dust or to gold

we’ll go down in history
Am D

Em G C
Am D
remember me for centuries

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 supposed to match, the darkness that you felt
Am D
I never meant for you to fix yourself
Em Am Dsus2
[Chorus]

I can't stop until the whole world knows my name
G
'cause I was only born inside my dreams
C
until you die for me, as long as theres a light

my shadows over you 'cause I-I am the opposite of amnesia
C
and you're a cherry blossom, you're about to bloom
Am D
you look so pretty but you're gone so soon
Em Am Dsus2
[Chorus]

Some legends are told

Some turn to dust or to gold

I could scream forever

we are the poisoned youth

I have a bachelor and master's degree in music composition and music theory.
It's a D.
The confusion, like the author of the tabs says, is because there's a B in the melody. Does it have the notes of a Bm7? Sure. But the overwhelming influence is from the guitars which are both playing NOTHING but D (providing bass and most of the harmony. The only B ANYWHERE is on the top of the harmony in the melody. Calling it a Bm7 is like having an ice cream sunday with 3 huge scoops of vanilla ice cream with a tiny chocolate chip on top and calling it a chocolate sunday.
If you still incorrectly think it's a Bm7 because you are trying to prove your theory skills, you forgot about the "E" the singer also sings on the first syllable of "centuries." (He even occasionally goes back down to A briefly after the B).
It's a D.
+15
clearly the best contribution to this song out there
+7
All of the d's at the end of each paragraph are actually supposed to be Bm
Otherwise, this is the best version out there.
Hope this helped!!!
