Verse 1
  There is very little guitar in the first verse, the chord names are
taken from keyboard and bass parts
 
 F#                 B
 You pretend you're high
 F#                 B
 You pretend you're bored
 F#                 B
 You pretend you're anything
 F#              B
 Just to be adored
              F#       B
 And what you need
             F#       B
 Is what you get

Pre-Chorus
                 (bass plays G#)
 D#               G#
 Don't believe in fear
 D#               G#
 Don't believe in faith
 D#               G#
 Don't believe in anything
 D#             G#
 That you can't break
