On the Brink
------------ 

The point of me going through the 
trouble for this is that hopefully 
it
will help someone else out with the 
song.  I'm still learning, so
hopefully someone can help me out 
too!  Post your corrections and
suggestions!  I've worked out the 
basics of all the songs on
Without a Sound, so if anyone is 
interested I can pound out another
song.  And sorry about the bad job 
on the lyrical transcription!  He
just tends to mumble sometimes.

Capo on the third fret.  All the 
chords and tab are relative to the 
capo.

G D C D x 2

This is how I play the little G D C 
D progression, but I really don't
think that it's the same as J plays.

your mind you could use a break

     No wonder I hardly have the 
strength to fight

G       D              C      D

Some of these chords, I don't know

     Your above all your pride too
Em?          C           A?       D
     Gave it all I could think of
Em?            C              A?
