Note: G/F# is a special one, (I kind of made it up ) and is difficult to swap out of this
song, but you can at the end of the intro.
Note #2: There's an odd delay in D/F#, not a mistake. The chords change where they
change on the words, finally!
(PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU THINK A CHORD IS WRONG AND I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
Someone had suggested Cmadd9 but I'm having trouble deciding.
I may just change Cadd9 to C)
[Intro]
G D/F# Em Cadd9
G D/F# Em Cadd9 G/F# G
[Verse 1]
D/F# Em
I'm tired of waking up in tears,
D/F# G D/F# Em Cadd9
'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
G D/F# Em
I'm new to this grief I can't explain;
D/F# G D/F# Em Cadd9
But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em G Cadd9
The fire I began, is burning me alive
D Em Cadd9 D/F#
But I know better than to leave and let it die
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em Cadd9
I'm a Silhouette, asking every now and then,
G D/F# Em Cadd9
"Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?"
G D/F# Em Cadd9
I'm a Silhouette, chasing rainbows on my own
[Post-Chorus]
Am7 D G D Em D
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
Cadd9 Cmadd9 G
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
[Intrumental]
D/F# Em Cadd9
G D/F# Em Cadd9 G/F# G
[Verse 2]
D/F# Em
I'm sick of the past I can't erase,
D/F# G D/F# Em Cadd9
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace,
G D/F# Em
The mountains of things that I still regret,
D/F# G D/F# Em
Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget
Cadd9 D
(No matter where I go)
[Pre-Chrous]
Em G Cadd9
The fire I began, is burning me alive
D Em Cadd9 D/F#
But I know better than to leave and let it die
[Chrous]
G D/F# Em Cadd9
I'm a Silhouette, asking every now and then,
G D/F# Em Cadd9
"Is it over yet? Will I ever smile again?"
G D/F# Em Cadd9
I'm a Silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
[Post-Chorus]
Am7 D G D Em D
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
Cadd9 Cmadd9 G
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
[Bridge]
D/F# Em D/F# G D/F# Em D/F#
'Cause I walk alone, no matter where I go
G D/F# Em D/F#
'Cause I walk alone, no matter where I go
G D/F# Em D/F#
'Cause I walk alone, no matter where I go
[Chrous]
G D/F# Em Cadd9
I'm a Silhouette asking every now and then
G D/F# Em Cadd9
Is it over yet? Will I ever love again?
G D/F# Em Cadd9
I'm a Silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
[Post-Chorus]
Am7 D G D Em D
But the more I try to move on the more I feel alone
Cadd9 Cmadd9 G
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
D/F# Em Am7 Cadd9 Cmadd9 G
I watch the summer stars to lead me home

Hi there! I've been using this chord version (printed; it's in my binder of songs) for many months now and I've got to say I've really enjoyed it.
However, I did change the chords (which is why I'm here) to the pre-chorus, so see if you like it better than what you have:
Pre-Chrous
[tab]
(D) Em G Cadd9
The fire I began, is burning me alive
D/F# Em Cadd9 D/F#
But I know better than to leave and let it die

Wow okay that was such a minor change, but you said post corrections xD. Also, great tab!! Like I said, I play this a lot and I really appreciate it, so, thanks for making it!
+4

In the intro, the major fourth is actually minor on the repeat.

Updated the song today, I removed a lot of redundant (G) and removed plenty of ramblings at the beginning. Please let me know if you think that something should be different.
