(Play 4 times and lead into Verse)

Verse:

(* = After chord is played, 3 muted harmonics are played quickly between

To do this, move your pointer finger from the 2nd to 3rd fret;

lightly touching the E string and strum away. You'll hear the same

sound as on the recording).

* *

I wanna feel, I wanna try

F#5* F#5 E5II F#5 E5II

I wanna rock in the city tonight

* *

I wanna deal, don't wanna die

F#5* F#5 E5II F#5 E5II F#5

I wanna bring my Captain Hook into the light

Pre-chorus:

(Bass only)

People I've seen my day, ranting and raving this beauty away

We are by and large the same, but words are too feeble, they cannot contain

Chorus 1:

He was a rock 'n roll Messiah

She was known for her childcare

Truth is gonna give up the World

If you can give up the stage

The stage, the stage..... Come on!

(Repeat Verse)

(Repeat Pre-chorus)

Chorus 2:

He was a rock and roll Messiah

She was known for her childcare

Truth is gonna give up the World

If you can give up the stage

If I can give up the stage

If we can give up the stage

Bridge:

Come to this, I can't come to you

Don't do this, wake me up tonight

Come to this, I can't come to you

Don't do this, wake me up to...

night. Tonight, tonight...

(strum F#5 once and hold into solo)

Solo:

Note: This was difficult to make out on the recording,

so it is more than likely not 100%. Just fool around with

it and you will come close. Or you can always improvise

if you're good. :)

(Guitar 2 plays Intro Part as rhythm backing)
