[Intro]
E   G E

[Verse 1]
    F#m
Oh, multiplied the questions
       E
in her mind
    F#m
Oh, trying to subtract
            E
the great divide
        F#m
Feeling drowned in her perceptions
         A
Reaching out in all directions
     B    E   G E
No escape

[Verse 2]
    F#m
Oh, second chances granted
         E
one more time
    F#m
And in the depths of darkness,
          E
found the light
        F#m
And the hope she thought abandoned
        A
Was not lost for her companion
         B
Kept it safe

Fallout Today by Eddie Vedder is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 8 chords in all: E, G, F#m, A, B, C#m, D and F#.

Most of the song cycles through C#m – B – A – E (vi – V – IV – I in E major). In solfa, that is lah – soh – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
