The Am and Am7 as well as Bb and Bbmaj7 chords can be swapped as they sound so alike. It sounds
perfect to me though.
[INTRO]
In the intro a guitar plays the notes while another could play the chords above the tab.
The notes in brackets are not played but could be played if you don't have a guitar playing
the chords above the tab.

[VERSE 1]
F             			Am               
The gap that grows between our lives.
              		   Dm
The gap out parents never had
                                  Bbmaj7

           Gm7              C#
i don't believe it in any more 
	C
pathetic acts for a worthless cause.
[CHORUS]
An acoustic plays the chords at the top and an electric with effects arpeggiates 
the bottom chords.

F                       Am
The world is full of refugees
		                   Dm
they're just like you and just like me
                             Bbmaj7
but as people we have the choice
           C#                   C
to end to void with all it's force
           Am7             Bbmaj7
so don't forget or don't pretend
	         C           Dm
it's all the same now in the end
         Gm7                 C#
it was said in a different life
		 C
That destroys my days and                    
that haunts and my nights
