Anyway, the song is in 3/4 measures orsomething of the kind (6/8?), played pretty fast.The strumming is pretty simple: (d=downstroke, u=upstroke)| | |d dudud dudud... etc. during verse & first line of the chorus.^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^| | |dudududududud... etc. during the second line of the chorus.^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Emphasize the downstrokes. Beats are indicatedunderneath the lyrics.The end of the first line of the chorus is played like this:1)|Em |Em |Em7 |Em7 Em6 Em| | | 0---0---0----| |0 |0 |3 3---1---0--| | | | 0---0---0---| | | | 2---2---2---| | | | 2---2---2---| | | | 0---0---0---|d dudud dudud dudud d d^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^and the end of the 2nd & 4th lines of the verse like this:2)|Am |Am |Em Em6 |Em Em6| | 0---0-0-0---0---0-0-0-| |1 |1 0---0-0-1---0---0-0-1-| | | 0---0-0-0---0---0-0-0-| | | 2---2-2-2---2---2-2-2-| | | 2---2-2-2---2---2-2-2-| | | 0---0-0-0---0---0-0-0-|d dudud dudud d u d d d d^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^The Song:_________Chorus 1:I)|Am |% |C |% |Em |% |Em7|Em7 Em6 EmWhy should you be the one to go out on the edge|Am |% |C |% |Em |% |Em7|%Do you really want to be another dead hero?^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^^ ^Chorus 2:1)|Am |% |C |% |Em |% |Em7|Em7 Em6 EmWhy should you be the one to go out on the edge|Am |% |C |% |Em |% |E |%Do you really want to be another dead hero?^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^^ ^Verse:|Am |% |G |% |F |% |G |%People have expectations of a man in your position 2)|C |% |G |% |Am |% |Em(6)|Em(6)They want you to carry some torch into the public view|Am |% |G |% |F |% |G |%Voyeurs of this world, ignoring your beautiful words 2)|C |% |G |% |Am |% |Em(6)|Em(6)Say they want you to survive, but they demand this madness of youChorus 1:Why should you be the one ...Verse:I love your music and I love your songs, I love the wild things in your headI want you here with us, helping us to stick to this mad worldBut for so many years now this habit's been forming and so many others havefailedYou made friends with that devil, now he feels a little kinder to faceChorus 2:Why should you be the one ...Verse:I think of the young ones who make their way home through the night afterone of your showsTheir lives a little richer for having been touched by youThey day dance and they sweat and they call out your name, the exitementjust spills out and flowsYou've been singing your guts out, is that not enough to do?Chorus 1:Why should you be the one ...Why should you be the one ...Why should you be the one ...|Am |% |C |% |Em (ring... )Do you really want to be another dead hero?^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^-<>-
