WARNING: This is the first song I ever tried to tab out.

I know this isn't done, however I noticed there were no tabs for this song, so this is

I got, there sounds like there is much more going on here, hopefully someone with more

INTRO:

INTRO RIFF

and then...

Major Riff 1

{lead guitar:...Major Riff 1 continues, start chord progression...}

{lead guitar:...Riff 1 ends, chords continue...}

Verse 1:

Bsus4 F#(barred) Asus

The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents

And i watch as your face is framed in its slow currents

F#(barred)

Drifting curls a trailing path

A long drag becomes a dress of blue and ash

1st CHORUS:

{lead guitar:...Major Riff 1 starts again...}

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if its gotta end then let it end in flames

Let it burn all the way down.

{lead guitar:...and then the quick 2nd riff...}

{...after riff Gtr 2 continues...}

Verse 2:

The air is visible around us, turning in it's simple steps on slow currents

And i watch as it pirouettes and spins in sloooooow mo-tion

A long drag becomes a slow dance

in a halo...of ember.

2nd CHORUS:

{lead guitar:...Major Riff 1 starts again...}

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if its gotta end then let it end in flames

Let it burn all the way down.

{...At the word "down" from that last line major riff 1 ends and major riff 2 starts up

and continues...}

Bridge:

All the way down

And if this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began

So hot with love, we burned our hands

If this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began

C#m E F#m7add11 <-This part is missing something

So hot with love, it burns our hands

{lead guitar:... keeps playing major riff 2 until "so hot with love" so that "it burns

hands" lyric stands out"}

3rd CHORUS:

{lead guitar:... major riff 1 starts again...guitar 3 or keys play major riff 2}

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

Burn as brightly as we can

And if its gotta end then let it end in flames

Let it burn--

Let it burn (if it's gotta end)

Let it burn (if it's gotta end)

(Let it burn) Ends where it began so hot with love it burns our hands.

{at "hands" all instruments except the guitar playing riff 2 ends, riff 2 continues 2

lead guitar starts playing intro riff also...}

Ending riff

D|---------------------------------| both riffs play together.
