[Intro - Solo 1 - BPM 126]

[Verse] 
[E] I sing myself to sleep [A] A song from the [B] darkest hour
[E] Secrets I can't keep [A] Inside of the [B] day
[E] I swing from high to deep [A] Extremes of [B] sweet and sour
[E] Hope that God exists [A] I hope, I [B] pray
[E] Drawn by the undertow [A] My life is out of [B] control
[E] I believe this wave will bear my [A] weight so let it [B] flow 
(triplet fill like Higher Ground - play B increasing in volume)

[Chorus] 
[E] Oh sit down, Oh sit down, Oh sit down 
[A] Sit down next to [B] me
[E] Sit down down down down down [A] in sympa [B] thy 

[Solo 2]

[Verse] 
[E] Now I'm relieved to hear that you've [A] been to some [B] far out places
It's [E] hard to carry on when you [A] feel all [B] alone
[E] Now I've swung back down again It's [A] worse than it was be [B] fore
If I [E] hadn't seen such riches I could [A] live with being [B] poor

[A] down [###########Scroll#########] in sympa [B] thy 

[Bridge - Quiet bit] 
(Drums x 4 triplet figure - no chords
One hand - bounce off strings - and bass drum on 2 and 4
Then play chords as barres so can mute
effectively x7999x 577655 799877 - pattern
123 123 123 1xx) - can also use Higher Ground rhythm if works better

[E] Those who feel the breath of sadness [A] Sit down next to [B] me
[E] Those who find they're touched by madness [A] Sit down next to [B] me
[E] Those who find themselves ridiculous [A] Sit down next to [B] me
(Drums - pickup sS)
[E] In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
[A] In love, in fear, [B] in hate, in tears
[E] In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
[A] In love, in fear, [B] in hate

[Less chords bit]
(Play E loud once and sustain then just drums until A and B)
[E] "Doooooooooooooooooown" [A] [B]
[E] "Doooooooooooooooooown" [A] [B]

[A] Sit down next to [B] me
[E] Sit down down down down dow [A] n in sympa [B] thy

[Notes]
[Intro - Solo 1]
Riff and solo - same approach as Dire Straits - Walk of life

* - think as being like a min7 chord but do not fret the root of it - use tip of finger to mute A string
can slide up then from E and stops any wrong notes from ringing out

And disillusioned leaders
     F7
So full of empty promises
 
But rarely Do they feed us
             Abmaj7
Put our backs against the wall
     G7+5
Or don't we count at all?
                Cm7
Can you decide
 
Are you mesmerised?
 
Do you know which side you're standing?
              F7
Cause when it falls
 
Gon' take us all
 
Gotta know what we're demanding
 Abmaj7
I never lie
 
Can't you hear the cry
             G7+5
Coming from on high:
 
We're too young to die!
