This is for a friend of mine
and the other 7 people who asked me for it.
Intro
E|———————————————————————————————————|
B|———————————————————————————————————|
G|—2—2—4b—4b—4b—rb~——2—2—4b—4b—rb—2~—|
D|———————————————————————————————————|
A|———————————————————————————————————|
E|———————————————————————————————————|x2

Now the F#m chord can be played as F#5 if you have a keyboard player play the F#m (like 
track), but, if you're jamming to the record by yourself you'll have to play it like this:
E|—2—|
B|—2—|
G|—2—|
D|—4—|
A|—4—|
E|—2—|
  F#m
The other chords are shuffled and are best played with the root and fifth, eg:
E|——————————|
B|——————————|
G|——————————|
D|———————7——|
A|—7——2——5——|
E|—5——0—————|
   A  E  D

This is the way THE VERSE goes...

D                  E
Living isn't easy, feeling bright and breezy
F#m
Everybody has to try
D                    E                     A
Seeing is believing, never show the reason why
D                    E                       F#m
Even when we grow up and our bodies slow up, no, no, no
   D               E                 A
We think again but do we understand?


This is the way THE CHORUS goes...

                  E                  A
That's the way it goes, oh everybody knows
                  E                     A
That you can't survive if you ain't got drive
             D                    A
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
             D                                  E
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
                   A
But you must carry on


This is the way THE BRIDGE goes...

F#m
I haven't told any secrets
  A
I swore not to tell any lies
F#m
Something inside me is saying
D                       E
That's the way it goes, that's the way it goes

For the bridge you will find this riff helpfull:
Use loads of overdrive and distortion...
E|———12—9—|
B|————————|
G|—9——————|
D|————————|
A|————————|
E|————————|

I like to call this the middle section
(even though it isn't)

             D                    A
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
             D                                  E
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
                   A
But you must carry on

Now the solo, I think, goes like this:
E|—12—12—1210—10—10—109——9——9————————————————————————————————————————————|
B|—14—14—1412—12—12—1210—10—10—10———10———10———————————————————————————10—|

This is 100% correct.
