Rise Against – Audience Of One chords

Audience of One chords
Artist: Rise Against
Tabbed by: Preston Turner
email: presto4132@comcast.net
Tuning: 1/2 step down

I tabbed this while watching him play an acoustic version Live. This is as close as I 
could possibly get it.

If you chose to use full chords for D, A, and Bm, it sounds best if they are only used 
in the final chorus. The chords below sound best for the rest of the song, in my opinion.


      D    A    Bm    G or Ge|-------------------------3------|B|----3----2----3----------3------|G|----2----2----4-----4----0------|D|----0----2----4-----5----0------|A|----0----0----2-----5----2------|E|--------------------3----3------|

The second G should really only be used in the chorus, if that.


Intro (1)eb|--5-----5-----5-----5-----5---5---|Bb|----3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3---3---3-|Gb|----------------------------------|Db|----------------------------------| x2Ab|----------------------------------|Eb|----------------------------------|

(there is some sliding and stuff going on here but I didn't tab it in)

D              A I can still remember
                        BmThe words and what they meant
                           GAs we etched them with our fingers
                       DIn years of wet cement
                           AThe days blurred into each other
                         BmThough everything seemed clear
                    GWe cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

Bm  A         G              D                A We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Bm   A     G                  A But even then we should have stayed

              Bm  GBut we ran away
    D              ANow all my friends gone
Bm             G             D                   AMaybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
     Bm  GRun away
         D              ABut what are we running from ?
  Bm                 G             D           AA show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Bm   A    GWhere have they gone ?

D              A Identities assume us
                     BmAs nine and five add up
              GSynchronizing watches
                            DTo the seconds that we lost
                AI looked up and saw you
                    BmI know that you saw me
                   GWe froze but for a moment
In empathy

Bm         A        G               D               A I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
Bm   A       G           A You gave my emptiness a name

               Bm  GBut you ran away
    D              ANow all my friends gone
Bm             G             D                   AMaybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
     Bm  GRun away
         D              ABut what are we running from ?
  Bm                 G             D           AA show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Bm   A    GWhere have they gone ?

Bm     G   D               Bm  G     A We’re all okay, until the day we’re not
Bm   G       D                 Bm G    A The surface shines, while the in-side rots
Bm  G         D             Bm G    A We raced the sunset and we al-most won
Bm  G           D               Bm     G    
A   G We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

          Bm  GWe ran away
    D              ANow all my friends gone
Bm             G             D                   AMaybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
     Bm  GRun away
         D              ABut what are we running from ?
  Bm                 G             D           AA show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Bm   A    GWhere have they gone ?
