I have no idea what the riff is for this, I'll update it once I'm done screwing around with it.

Listen to the recording a bit, it will make this whole thing easier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OWdZPNpa2Y

Intro: E (muted strums) x4

E (Muted Strums)        A (Muted Strums)                        E (Muted Strums) x2
  those may be the most beautiful shades of red i've ever seen.
E (Muted Strums)                                                E (Muted Strums)
  those may be the most beautiful shades of red i've ever seen.
E (Muted Strums)      E (Muted Strums)
  but don't be fooled.
          A (Muted Strums)               A
  if the sun goes down us here tonight,
(Muted Strums)
  it's not gonna be alright anymore.

  none of this has anything really to do with us, that's my belief.
E (Muted Strums)                                            E (Muted Strums) x2
  as the desert sky throws the glowing neon into bold relief.
A (Muted Strums)             A (Muted Strums)
  your mouth is open and your eyes are wide.
A (Muted Strums)                        
  hold on because it's dark outside now.

  the smell of roses comes thickly through the open window now.
E (Muted Strums)                                              E (Muted Strums) E (Riff)
  the smell of roses comes thickly through the open window now.
E (Muted Strums)            A (Muted Strums)
  as the darkness closes in, our bodies draw the roses in.
E (Muted Strums)            A (Muted Strums)                       
  and those may be the most beautiful shades of red i've ever seen.
