The main theme is basically: F F FFFG... (1 1 1113 ...) played on the lower E string, so the simplest chord
progression would be just E and F#m.

A quick and dirty interpretation of the song. I just tried to play this song for the first time so it's not
nearly perfect, but it should give you a basic idea and something to start with.


[Intro]
E F#m ...
E F#m


[Verse]
                 F#m               E
When I opened my eyes what did I see
                 F#m                 E
Falling from the skies in front of me
              Bm
Not quite but close
   F#m               Bm
As though I'd seen a ghost

            F#m                E
Was it too much, to feel the touch
           F#m                 E
Of someone that you couldn't love
              F#m              Bm
Cause someone that comes and goes
E
Ohh...


[Chorus]
   D               E
So how are you I'm doing well
             F#m                E
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell
    Bm            D                F#m
I'm not as strong as you thought I was

         D                E
When you fall down do you hear the sound
   F#m
Of broken dreams, hitting the ground
D                 E             F#m
Baby please we're casualties of war


[Verse]
             F#m     E                     F#m
You lost the fight I heard it was a good fight
                       E                    F#m
The kind that no one wins and no ones right
                  Bm
I could have walked away
  F#m                  Bm
I should have walked away

    F#m                   E
You always had a habit of keeping score
    F#m                           E            F#m
You might have won the battle but not the war
            E             F#m
What goes around comes around
    E
ten fold


[Chorus]
   D               E
So how are you I'm doing well
             F#m                E
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell
    Bm            D                F#m
I'm not as strong as you thought I was

         D                E
When you fall down do you hear the sound
   F#m
Of broken dreams, hitting the ground
D                 E             F#m
Baby please we're casualties of war


[Bridge]
E F#m ...
E F#m


[Chorus]
   D               E
So how are you I'm doing well
             F#m                E
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell
    Bm            D                F#m
I'm not as strong as you thought I was

         D                E
When you fall down do you hear the sound
   F#m
Of broken dreams, hitting the ground
D                 E             F#m
Baby please we're casualties of war

         D                E
When you fall down do you hear the sound
   F#m
Of broken dreams, hitting the ground
D                 E             F#m
Baby please we're casualties of war

F#m ... (ring out)
