Creed is a pretty good band I think. This is a great song
and it's real easy to play.

This later part of the intro is the picking pattern that's used
in the verses.
VERSE 1: [with picking pattern above]
--------
G D Bsus2 Csus2 G
Hurray for a child that makes it through
D Bsus2 Csus2 G
If there's any way because the answer lies in you
D Bsus2 Csus2 G
They're laid to rest before they've known just what to do
D B5 C5
Their souls are lost because they could never find
[on the last line of the verse, you play the G and D chords as
usual, then strum the B5 and C5 chords with distortion]
CHORUS: [with distortion, or fuzz or whatever]
-------
G5 D5 B5 C5
What's this life foooooooooor?
G5 D5 B5 C5
What's this life foooooooooor?
G5 D5 B5 C5
What's this life foooooooooor?
G5 D5 B5 C5 [strum C5 once and let ring]
What's this life foooooooooor?
[play verse picking pattern once, then start verse 2]
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
G D
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
Bsus2 Csus2 G
You see my heart, you look away
D
You see my wrist, I know your pain
Bsus2 Csus2 G
I know your purpose on your plane
D B5 C5
Don't say a last prayer because you could never find
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
OUTRO:
------
G
But they ain't here anymore
C Cmaj7 Am Asus2
Don't have to settle the score
D Dsus4
Cause we all live
D C Cmaj7 G
Under the reign of one king, one king, one king
|
Can't really hear what he says here,
corrections welcome.
Then you repeat the outro twice I think, with the same chords, but
another guitar plays distorted power chords. See below what power
chords go with what regular chords:
When Guitar 1 plays G Guitar 2 plays G5
When Guitar 1 plays C and Cmaj7 Guitar 2 plays C5
When Guitar 1 plays Am and Asus2 Guitar 2 plays A5
When Guitar 1 plays D and Dsus4 Guitar 2 plays D5
When you're playing the 'C Cmaj7' and 'Am Asus2' changes in the
outro, you should play them something like this:
C Cmaj7 Am Asus2
E|--0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0----0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0-----|
B|--1---1-1-1-0---0-0-0-1p0-0----1---1-1-1-0---0-0-0-1p0-0-----|
G|--0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0----2---2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2---2-----|
D|--2---2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2---2----2---2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2---2-----|
A|--3---3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3---3----0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0-----|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|
p = pull-off
That should give you the whole song, enjoy!
