I'm submitting this because the other two versions seem to be off to varying degrees.
This is based on the powertab for the song that I found here. It was rated highly, so
assuming it's correct. I wanted the chords, so I typed out the lyrics and aligned the
from the powertab to them. The cd version uses power chords, but I've changed them for
who like full chords.
I wrote the timing for the intro according to the powertab, though the cd version is
different. Underscores indicate held notes, while spaces are rests (no sound). Whether you
how to read that or not, you'll probably have to listen to the song to get the intro timing.
I did not attempt to chord the instrumental interlude.

(I want to burn out bright)
Does it have to start with a broken heart / Broken dreams and bleeding parts
We were young and the 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
If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
(Intro)
Then before I die, I want to burn out bright
(None)/~
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!
(Chorus)
Bass: (x2)
[Instrumental Interlude]

I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
--
I won't run away / I can't sleep in the bed I've made
I can't sleep in the bed I've made
()
If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Then before I die, I want to burn out
Before I die I want to burn out
Before I die I want to burn out
Before I die I want to burn out bright
If time was never on our side
(Outro)
Before I die I want to burn out bright
