Song: A Rush of Blood to the Head

This is a very simplified transcription of this new song which I hope to improve on soon,
but for now it works pretty well.  To tell you the truth Chris' piano songs aren't usually
too complicated... a lot of the music you hear after the chorus sound like he's just playing with
the individual notes from the chords.  Anyway I'll work that out later. These are some of the chord 
fingerings I use but really you can just flip and invert them wherever and it sounds fine.  Except 
on the later verses you're supposed to take them up a few octaves.  By the way the rhythm guitar 
just seems to echo these chords mainly, so feel free to rock out with and electric starting with 
the first chorus.

verse chords voicings:
Am:  EAC
C:   EGC
G:   GBD

Chorus chords:
F:   FAC
D:   ADF#
Dm:  FAD

verse chords take two:
Am:  CEA (one octave above middle C)
C:   CEG (likewise)
G:   BDG (you know the drill)

     Am                                      C
i said i'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
     G                                   Am
yeah i'm gonna put it six feet underground
  Am                                   C
i'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
   G                                          Am
and do back all the things it did to you in return


i said i'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
yeah i'm gonna forfeit all of your heart's desire
i said i'm gonna buy this place and if you stick around
yeah i'm gonna buy this place and burn it down



[enter electric guitar!]
        F                                        D
cause honey, all the movements are starting to make
                                F
saw me crumble and fall on my face
                                    D
and i know the mistakes that i've made
          Dm                        F
so they all disappear without a trace
                                D
and the colors, they beckon me on [??]
F                Am(start up verse again)
??????????? (something about a musical war?? no clue)


[there's more going on here that i'll get around to someday]

so i'm gonna buy this place and watch it burn
oh stand here beside me baby, watch the orange glow
oh i'm gonna buy this place and sit around
sit here and watch this ???? crumble down

[here is where the higher verse chords come in]

oh i'm gonna buy, gonna start a war [?]
oh if you could tell me something worth fighting for
oh i'm gonna buy this place and if you stick around
yeah i'm gonna buy this place and burn it down

cause honey, all the movements are starting to make
saw me crumble and fall on my face
and i know the mistakes that i've made
soon they all disappear without a trace
and the colors, they beckon me on [??]
???????????

[back to original verse chords, along with what seems to be an organ]

so won't you meet me by the bridge
or meet me by the lake
where am i going to see 
your pretty face again
oh meet me on the road, 
meet me on the ground
cause i'm gonna buy this place,
and i'm gonna burn it down

That's it!
As you can see I need some help with the lyrics, so let me know if you figure them out. :-)
