NOTES:
Guitar Figure 1 is played in the INTRO and VERSEs.
The second chord I've called Emaj7. However, it has no 3rd, (i.e. G#) so,
strictly speaking ought to be named Emaj7(no 3rd) to reflect that.
For brevity, though, I'll call it Emaj7. Timing is 4/4.
If you listen to a recording you'll get how to strum it.

VERSE:
E5      Emaj7            Aadd9     Badd11  (Guitar Figure 1)
Feel it falling off like clothing
E5       Emaj7           Aadd9     Badd11  (Guitar Figure 1)
Taste it rolling on your tongue
E5      Emaj7            Aadd9     Badd11  (Guitar Figure 1)
See the lights above you glowing
       E5           Emaj7          Aadd9
Oh and breathe them deep into your lungs


PRE-CHORUS:
Chords:

Badd11                  Aadd9
  It was always simple,       not hidden hard
            Badd11
You've been pulling at the strings,
                                 Aadd9
Playing puppeteers for kings and you've had enough

A     x02220
C#m   446654

        E           B
But the search ends here
          A
Where the night is totally clear
         C#m      B
And your heart is fierce
            A                        B
And now you finally know that you control where you go
        E5   Emaj7   A   B
You can steer


VERSE:
So hold this feeling like a new-born
Of freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new dawn
So bring on the wind, fire and rain


PRE-CHORUS:
Chords:
Badd11   099800
Aadd9    x77600

Badd11                  Aadd9
  It was always simple,       not hidden hard
            Badd11
You've been played at a game called “remembering your name”
        Aadd9
And you stuffed it up

          A                      slide ->B
Where the night is totally clear
         C#m      B
And your heart is fierce
        A
Now you finally know that you control where you go
        E         B
You can steer, oh oh oh
           A
So now you finally know that you control where you go
    Bsus4  C#m7  Asus2
You can          steer.

 'Cos you've been listening for answers
        Bsus4            C#m7               Asus2
But the city screams and all your dreams go unheard
