This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

INTRO

VERSE

Born from silence, silence full of it

(Am) (Dm) (G) (Cadd11) (C)

A perfect concert my best friend

Am Dm Cadd11 G

So much to live for, so much to die for

Am Dm G Cadd11 C

If only my heart had a home

A# Gm7 Dm

Sing what you can`t say

Am Dm

Forget what you can`t play

G Cadd11 C

Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes

Am Dm Cadd11 G

Walk within my poetry, this dying music

Am Dm G Cadd11 c

My loveletter to nobody

A# Gm7 Dm

I play the verses like this :
