Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Notes: This is a great, simple song. I've not taken the time to tab a lot of the quiet
(such as the intro) or other parts that take a secondary role to
the piano. I would enjoy some input on this and some assistance, but only if it's
because I'm not sure it's 100% correct. The basics are there though. Enjoy!
Amp settings (if desired): I find it's best to play this song with your drive set to
up a little bit when you strike the strings hard, but otherwise
pretty smooth on the quieter parts. Minimal distortion.

From the moment I'm awake
I think about the states
And whether I should just go back to sleep instead, yeah
A reasonless mind
And at that place and time
I started learning how it feels to be alone, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Over and over and over again, yeah again
[Chorus]
And these are the things that I want you to hear
Throw away thought and replace it with fear
The time is now
The place is here
And the song that we wanted was sung by the free
The newspaper headlines but no melody
The time is now, to sing it for me
