I wrote out the lyrics so that you will know when to play the note because I made it so the music and lyrics are in sync with each other. At the end of the song is the order that everything is played. Verse G------------------------------------------------------- D------------------------------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------- E-5- Starry nights, and city of lights coming down over me. get me nots, and second thoughts live in isolation. G-------------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------------- A-------------------------------------------- E-5- Skyscrapers, and star gazers in my head. Heads or tails, and fairy tales in my mind. G---------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- E-5- Are we, we are, are we, we are the waiting unknown? Are we, we are, are we, we are the waiting unknown? G--------------------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------------------------- A-----------------------------------------5--------------- E------2-------------- This dirty town, was burning down in my dreams. The rage and love, the story of my life. G-------------------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------------------- A----------------------------------5--------------- E-2---------------0-------------------------------- Lost and found, city bound in my dreams. And screaming… Jesus of Suburbia is a lie. And screaming… Chorus G--------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------------- A--------------------------------------------- E-5- “Are we, we are, are we, we are the waiting?” And screaming… Order: Verse, Chorus (X2), Verse, Chorus (X4)Brought to you by the BassMasta http://www.bassmasta.net/g/green_day/146793.html
