MOSTLY copied, incomplete, and I'm purposely leaving some stuff out for the synth
because I'm doing a Post-Hardcore cover for it, can't have you guys stealin' my work ;)

But yeah here you go for pretty much most of the song this is it.
There aren't enough Styx tabs on UG so hopefully people will follow my lead and get this 
band some decent tabs. :)

Intro fig 1:

e|---0-2-3-2-3-5-3-2-3-2-0--|---0-2-3-2-3-5-3-2-0------|B|-3------------------------|-3-------------------3-2--|G|--------------------------|--------------------------|D|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|A|--------------------------|--------------------------|E|--------------------------|--------------------------| With other acoustic guitar strumming D ALOT
Repeat, then fig 2:
|---5-3--------------------------||---5-3----5-5-3-----------------||---6-4----6-6-4----6-4----------||----------7-7-5----7-5---7-7-5--||-------------------7-5---7-7-5--||-------------------------5-5-3--|With G strumming on the quarter notes underneath.
Repeat figure 1, then figure 2 then figure 3:
|-2-3-5-7-5-3h5p3-2---0-|-2-3-5-7-5-3h5p3-2---0-||-------------------3---|-------------------3---||-----------------------|-----------------------||-----------------------|-----------------------||-----------------------|-----------------------||-----------------------|-----------------------|while the guitar 2 does:
|-2-3-5-7-5-3---2-----|-2-3-5-7-5-3---2-----||-3-3-5-8-5-3---3-3-5-|-3-3-5-8-5-3---3-3-5-||-2-4-6-7-6-4---2-4-6-|-2-4-6-7-6-4---2-4-6-||-----------------5-7-|-----------------5-7-||---------------------|---------------------||---------------------|---------------------|
The little synthesizer fill that follows each repetition of the above:
|----15---------------15-|-17-----------------------||-------15---------------|----20-19-17--------------||----------16----16------|-------------19-18-16-18--||-12----------17---------|--------------------------||------------------------|--------------------------||------------------------|--------------------------|
While the acoustic strums these chords:
|-0----------|-0--------||-3----------|-5--------||-4----------|-6--------||-5----------|-7--------||-5----------|-7--------||-3----------|-5--------|
Then figure 1 twice, figure 2 twice, slowing and ending with a G and hold...... Then begin the song: Play this (figure 4) three times:
|-2--2-2-0-3---|-0--0-0-2----0||-3--3-3-1-0---|-1--1-1-3----1||-2--2-2-0-0---|-0--0-0-2----0||-0--0-0-0-0---|-0--0-0-0----0||--------------|--------------||--------------|--------------|
Then this to end the figure:
|-2--2-2-0-3---|-7--0--2----||-3--3-3-1-0---|-8--1--3----||-2--2-2-0-0---|-7--0--2----||-0--0-0-0-0---|-0--0--0----||--------------|------------||--------------|------------|
JY plays this little harmonic thing over the fourth and sixth measures of figure 4 (above):
-------------------|---------(7)-------|------(5)---(7)----| (let ring)---------------(7)-|-------------------|-------------------|
Then, the rest of the song is basically just straight strumming of the chords. ---------------------------------------------- Verse 1: D C/Dbass You see the world through your cynical eyes D C/Dbass You're a troubled young man I can tell D C/Dbass You've got it all in the palm of your hand B- C/B-bass B- C/B-bass But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest D/Abass G/Abass You're foolin' yourself if you don't believe it D/Abass Em7/Abass You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it Verse 2: Why must you be such an angry young man When your future looks quite bright to me How can there be such a sinister plan That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man You're foolin' yourself if you don't believe it You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it Chorus: D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Get up, get back on your feet Dsus4 D Dsus4 D C You're the one they can't beat and you know it D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Come on, let's see what you've got Dsus4 D Dsus4 D C Just take your best shot and don't blow it G B- C Gm7 C Oh....
