Intro 
The intro is the same chord sequence as the chorus. I like to accent my strumming in a  
way that mimics the high notes of the piano part. On the second F in the sequence, try  
moving your pinky up to the fifth fret of the high D string (3x0005) and back down to  
the third fret (3x0003) in order to follow the piano. Throughout the song, I also alternate  
between Gm and Gm7 (which I've marked in parentheses) toward the end of phrases in order  
to get the higher F-note of the keys, even though it sounds like Josh plays it as a  
straight Gm 
  
E  Emaj7  E7  E  A  E/G# F#m Gdim7  F#m (Gm7) 
  
Verse 1 
E                   C#m   D           F#m (Gm7) 
Naturally the dying man wonders to himself: 
E                          C#m  D           F#m (Gm7) 
Has commentary been more lucid than anybody else? 
     G#m                                  E7 
And had he successively beaten back the rising tide 
                C#m                 Caug 
Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools 
                 Gdim7      F#m 
On his watch while he was alive 
E        Gdim7            C    C#m 
Lord, just a little more time 
  
Chorus 1 
    E Emaj7 E7     E 
Oh, in no time at all 
               A  E/G# F#m 
This'll be the distant past 
F#7   F#m (Gm7) 
Ooh 
  
Verse 2 
E                 C#m  D              F#m (Gm7) 
So says the dying man once I'm in the box 
E                           C#m  D            F#m (Gm7) 
Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok 
                 G#m                                  E7 
And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked 
                 C#m                Caug 
The homophobes, hipsters, and 1% 
                          Gdim7      F#m 
The false feminists he'd managed to detect 
E          Gdim7                     C    C#m 
Oh, who will critique them once he's left? 
  
Chorus 2 
    E Emaj7 E7     E 
Oh, in no time at all 
               A  E/G# B  
This'll be the distant past 
  
Bridge 
G                  B               E         A 
What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze 
F#m                    B           E        A 
The world made in his image as of yet to realize  
        C#m     F#m    B       
What a mess to leave behind 
  
Verse 3 
E                    C#m  D             F#m (Gm7) 
Eventually the dying man takes his final breath 
E                              C#m     D                F#m (Gm7) 
But first checks his news feed to see what he's 'bout to miss 
        G#m                       E7 
And it occurs to him a little late in the game 
             C#m                  Caug 
We leave as clueless as we came 
                            Gdim7         F#m 
From rented heavens to the shadows in the cave 
E        Gdim7         C    C#m 
We'll all be wrong someday 
  
Outro 
While Josh sings the "Oh oh oh" bit and the choir comes in, just repeat this sequence  
until the end of the song: 
  
A  E/G# F#m (Gm7)
