[Intro]
E
 
[Verse 1]
  E                          C#m
Enter a scene that defies description
   E
They say to open your mind And take it all inside
               C#m
One click at a time
                  A
We move through fictions
                               B
And send our sisters to the sacrifice
             A
A cruel conviction
                           B
Sinister systems keep us satisfied
 
These are hard times
 
 
[Chorus]
  E
I'm breathing in the oxygen
  C#m                      A
I'm holding it through hard times
    E
I'm breathing out in the ultrasound
    C#m                    A
Things come around in hard times
 
 
[Verse 2]
  E                                 C#m
Ten thousand miles of the new prescriptions
                     E
So we open our mouths And take 'em all inside
              C#m
One pill at a time
 
The purist fictions
 A                             B
We send our sisters to the sacrifice
 
With cruel conviction
 A                            B
Sinister systems keep us satisfied
 
These are hard times
 
 
[Chorus]
  E
I'm breathing in the oxygen
 C#m           A
I'm holding it through hard times
 E
I'm breathing out in the ultrasound
  C#m              A
Things come around in hard times
 
 
[Interlude]
A    B    x2
 
 
[Bridge]
A
We send our sisters
 
We send our sisters
B
We send our sisters
C#m         A
A new religion
A                          B
We send our sisters to the sacrifice
B
And then the audience goes wild!
 
 
[Outro]
  E
I'm breathing in the oxygen
 C#m               A
I'm holding it through hard times
 
(These are hard times)
 E
I'm breathing out in the ultrasound
  C#m             A
Things come around in hard times
 
(These are hard times)
  E
I'm breathing in the oxygen
 
(Take it all inside, take it all inside)
 C#m                        A
Things come around in hard times

personally, i think they rocked dafuq out of the synth version and it was absolutely flawless, so we'll have to agree to disagree on which version is better, but either way, it's a great song and i'm grateful for the work you put into posting the tabs... bit late at the moment to play, but i can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning... have a great day, friend, thanks for sharing...
