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 G
e|-------------------------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.

DA
I can still remember
Bm
The words and what they meant
G
As we etched them with our fingers
D
In years of wet cement
A
The days blurred into each other
Bm
Though everything seemed clear
G
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears
BmAGDA
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
BmAGA
But even then we should have stayed
BG
But we ran away
DA
Now all my friends gone
BmGDA
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
BmG
Run away
DA
But what are we running from ?
BmGDA
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
BmAG
Where have they gone ?
DA
Identities assume us
Bm
As nine and five add up
G
Synchronizing watches
D
To the seconds that we lost
A
I looked up and saw you
Bm
I know that you saw me
G
We froze but for a moment
In empathy
BmAGDA
I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
BmAGA
You gave my emptiness a name
BG
But you ran away
DA
Now all my friends gone
BmGDA
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
BmG
Run away
DA
But what are we running from ?
BmGDA
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
BmAG
Where have they gone ?
BmGDBmGA
We?re all okay, until the day we?re not
BmGDBmGA
The surface shines, while the in-side rots
BmGDBmGA
We raced the sunset and we al-most won
BGDBGAG
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on
BG
We ran away
DA
Now all my friends gone
BmGDA
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
BmG
Run away
DA
But what are we running from ?
BmGDA
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
BmAG
Where have they gone ?
Outro: Play Intro (1) except while holding a full G chord on the other 4 strings.
