Burn Out Bright Tabs

(ver. 1)
Switchfoot
Intro: guitar 1 (I don’t exactly know how he plays this, because it sounds
                 like he uses a pick, but here are the right notes)(if you
                 want to, divide the two parts between two different
                 guitars, it might sound better)

Does it have to start with a broken heart/Broken dreams and bleeding parts/
We were young and world was clear/but young ambition disappears/I swore it
would never come to this/The average, the obvious/I’m still discontented
down here/I’m still discontented

A spark ignites/in time and space/Limping through this human race/You bite
and claw your way back home/but you’re running the wrong way/The future is
a question mark/of kerosene and electric sparks/There’s still fire in you
yet/Yeah there’s still fire in you!
