VERSE 1
A                                                        D
Starry nights city lights coming down over me
    A                                                         D
Skyscrapers and stargazers in my head
A                                                            D
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown

This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
 F#m                      E                              D*
Lost and found city bound in my dreams

Forget me nots and second thoughts live in isolation
  A                                                            D      Dsus2  D**
Heads or tails and fairytales in my mind
A                                                            D
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
         F#m                            E                 D*
The rage and love, the story of my life
          F#m          E                    D*
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie

And screaming

A                                                           D
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting

And screaming
A                                                           D
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
A                                                           D
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting

And screaming
A                                                           D
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
A                                                           D
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
