G5        (3,5,5,x,x,x)

intro (acoustic guitar)

The easiest way to play this is to hold the E major shape under the A2. 
Almost like when you play Esus (0,2,2,2,0,0) then E (0,2,2,1,0,0) and 
all you do is lift up one finger. The same is useful here.

E                             A2 A9 E
There's a boy that I once knew
                           A2 A9 E
He lived his life in pain
                           A2 A9 E
Everyone thought he had it all
                           A2  
But no one knows the truth

A2 through the "truth"'s then E

A5 A* E

    A5 A*  E

()= sounds good but not necessary
E                             A5 A* E
Anger and hate so deep inside
                                    A5 A* E    
Waiting for their chance a boy with no control
                    
looking down at a cold steel chamber
               
Mercy at last.
A5   then into Chorus

Chorus 
G5  F5 x3

Darkness comes on so strong.
His world gets painted black.
F
The frail boy collapsed.
Bb
The towel's thrown in
    C      
The fight is done.

Bridge (Guitar 2)

A|--3--------------5-------------|
E|-------------------------------|
  
Just one thing left to do;
One technicality.
Face to face with death;
There's finally someone who cares

Those big nasty chords that interrupt are C5's and G5's. I would give 
timings but I'm too lazy and I have a cassette. Here's the order they 
go:
C5  C5  G5  G5  C5  G5  C

Chorus


There you go! This is as accurate as I can get since I'm typing at the 
library. If a chord is in the wrong place then mess around with the 
timing. It's probably the right chord wrong time. God Bless.
