The Voice 
Tom: D
Verse:
D           A
 Am I still alive?
                     Bm 
 I think I've got it right...
A
 I'm made of light..
D                   A 
 Before I leave and go away,
                     C
 There's some things I must say,
   Bm 
 Before - before I'm gone...
On "gone", turn on distortion and play A5 / C5 twice.
This same progression repeats for the next verse.
Pre-chorus:
A5   C5  A5                C5
         There's so many possibilities -
A5   C5  A5                       G5
         And I'm just starting to see...
Now go directly to the Chorus:
G5  A5   Bb5       A5                 G5
         It's like the poets always said
    A5   Bb5          A5                 G5
         When life is hanging from a thread
    A5   Bb5               C5            D5
         You can hear that voice in your head....
And now return to the D5 / Bb5 sequence from the intro.
The interlude is just a three-note riff on the E string:
e|----2-3-2-3-2-2-0---|
B|--------------------|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|
For the rest of the song, use the pre-chorus and chorus chords.
The coda is D5 / Bb5. End on D.
Don't be afraid,
G.
The Great Divide 
Tom: C#m
Verse 1:
(Strum C#maj7 once each time and let ring, until the "south", when you should
switch to a distorted tone and play F5 continuously.)
C#maj7
I'd reconciled my anger, got outside of danger,
C#maj7
I was waiting for some signal, a sign from angels.
C#maj7
When the tide turns against you
C#maj7
it's a strange sensation, a revelation of imagination.
C#maj7
I could change my course and face the flow, 
C#maj7                                                   F5 
reap the seeds that I had sewn or follow that old river south
                     F5     G5 
Here's what I found out...
Chorus:
Guitar 1 plays exactly the same riff as the intro.
Guitar 2 plays distorted chords as follows:
Am    C        F5              G5  Am      C       F5          G5    
I was standing on the Great Divide looking out across America.
Am        C              F5            G5  
Trying to find my truth, define it for myself.
Am                    C             F5
I died the day when I saw this place.
F5                     G5 F5 G5
I saw what I could lose.
Verse 2 is exactly the same as verse 1:
C#maj7
A very simple mechanism separates the fool from wisdom.
C#maj7
The lines between us are not real.
C#maj7
Conditioning is what makes us feel ignorant.
    F5 
And apathy will feed our hate.
So we can never give in.
Chorus and end:
Am      C            F5              G5    Am       C             F5      G5
There I was standing at the Great Divide, looking for the truth in America.
Am               C            F5              G5    
For all that time I searched, when I closed my eyes,
Am                        C            
I found the thing I was looking for.
F5                     G5    F5   G5   F5
I had it all the time.
and then repeat:
So are we standing at the Great Divide?
Is there hope for America?
Take the flag we wave, the freedoms that we sing.
Without respect for one another,
it doesn't mean a thing....
End by repeating the chorus riff - the song ends, quite 
appropriately, on an unresolved note both musically and lyrically.
That's about it! There are some fills in between that I couldn't quite
figure out: if anyone does, please let me know!
The Hands 
Tom: Dsus2
Intro: Dsus2 / Dm / Dsus4 / C / Csus4 / C

 

Dsus2          Dm
When I'm lost, I find a way
Dsus4          C / Csus4 / C 
I hear voices...
Dsus2                 Dm
Feelings surround me, closer to the edge,
Dsus4             C / Csus4 / C
I close my eyes...
F
And my luck keeps holding strong,
Eb                            
Even when the boot comes down,
F
I'm waiting for the revolution,
Eb                    Dsus2 
But there's no one around - except
    Dm
The hands out of nowhere
Am              C 
Saving me again (save me)
        Dm  
There's always something there watching out for me,
       Am                       C
If I'm suffocating, it gives me air -
   C        Play intro here (Dsus2 / Dm / Dsus4 / C / Csus4 / C)  
It gives me air...

 

Silent Lucidity 
Tom: G 
Intro: G G9 G G9 Em Em7/B Em Em7/B 
G        G9           G 
Hush now, don't you cry, 
G9          Em                    Em7/B  Em  Em7/B 
wipe away the teardrop from your eye. 
G           G9             G 
You're lying safe in bed, 
    G9                    Em             Em7/B  Em  Em7/B 
it was all a bad dream spinning in your head. 
C                C9                C 
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain, 
     C9             Am             Am9      Am  Am9 
Of someone close to you leaving the game (of life). 
C     C9            C         C9                    Am 
So here it is, another chance, wide awake you face the day. 
       Am9           Am           
The dream is over,     or has it just begun....? 
G G9 G G9 Em Em7/B Em Em7/B 
G        G9                G 
There's a place I like to hide, 
  G9                Em                 Em7/B  Em  Em7/B 
a doorway that I run through in the night. 
G         G9             G 
Relax child, you were there, 
G9            Em                         Em7/B  Em  Em7/B 
but only didn't realise that you were scared. 
C     C9                   C 
It's a place where you will learn 
    C9                  Am 
to face your fears, retrace the years, 
  Am9                      Am  Am9 
and ride the whims of your mind. 
C            C9         C 
Commanding in another world, 
C9       Am                   Am9           Am        Am9 
suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension.... 
D  C6 
I...       will be watching over you 
D  C6 
I...       am gonna help to see you through 
D  C6 
I...       will protect you in the night 
D  C6                                             G G9 G G9 
I...       am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity.... 
Solo 
(Voz durante o solo) 
Visualise your dream, 
Record it in the present tense, 
Put it into a permanent form, 
If you persist in all efforts, 
You can achieve a dream come true... 
...a dream come true... 
...a dream come true... 
G      G9                 G 
If you open your mind for me, 
  G9                Em           Em7/B  Em  Em7/B 
you won't rely on open eyes to see. 
G    G9               G 
The walls you built within 
  G9                         Em           Em7/B  Em  Em7/B 
come tumbling down and a new world will begin. 
C       C9                 C 
Living twice at once you learn, 
     C9                           Am 
you're safe from pain in the dream domain, 
 Am9              Am  Am9 
a soul set free to fly. 
C       C9                  C 
A round trip journey in your head, 
C9     Am                 Am9            Am 
master of illusion, can you realise your dream's alive 
         Am9 
You can be the guide, but 
D  C6 
I...       will be watching over you 
D  C6 
I...       am gonna help to see you through 
D  C6 
I...       will protect you in the night 
D  C6 
I...       am smiling next to you....
