Intro
E B A C#m (sounds best palm muted for effect)
E B
I, I am feeling like a veteran
A C#m
Uncompensated for the blood I've left to pool on foreign grounds.
E B
And I, sometimes reach to rub at aching legs
A
But they've been dust for over a decade.
C#m
And you're the limb that I've lost but somehow I still feel you.
Chorus:
E B
Until I awake, We just hope that you made it.
A C#m
We just hope that you're celebrating with people you miss.
E
And burning like a beacon.
B
Guiding this ship over this hellish heel.
A C#m
I'm happy to admit that maybe I am a little depressed.
E
'Cause I'm missing you to death.
(back to palm muting)
E B
But now, it's only records of my memory."
A A
Some thing you gave posthumously - the details all dragged out.

Between the chorus and the alternate chorus it sounds like he is playing around with:
A: |-------| Am: |-------| ?: |-------|
|---2---| |---1---| |---0---|
|---2---| |---2---| |---2---|
|---2---| |---2---| |---2---|
|-------| |-------| |-------|
|-------| |-------| |-------|
Before going into the alternate chorus, he rings out A.
