*for when I show the tabs for the chords being strummed, I'm not gonna
tab out how many times it's strumed (that always comes out wrong);
besides, if you've heard the song, then you know how it goes.

Verse 2:
R1 R1
I lost myself to a wider plain
R1 R2
I opened up I'm not the same
R2 R2
I am electric made of wire
R2 F#/F#
I'll be the match you be the fire

Chorus:
G B
This is the land of the living
G B
This is the land of reprisal
G B
This is the land of the living, the living, the living
G B R2 R2 R2 R2
The living, the living

C D# E (i think they just "pluck"
C D# E these chords -w/o dist)

Bridge:
C D#
In myself I try for you
E
Walk a thousand miles to get us through
C D# E
Airwaves, Jetplanes, Safe landing, no branding

Chorus:
G B

G B
This is the land of the living, the living, the living
G B
The living, the living, the living, the living
G~~
The living, the living


*most of the last chorus is underlined by a guitar "solo",
it's not really a big part of the song, and it doesn't sound
like it repeats much (needless to say, I'm not gonna tab it)
