G#/C is played by barring the 3rd fret and playing an f chord from there.

About this song: Cancer

Representing an intriguing departure from the style presented on previous albums, this song is a vocal/piano duet up until half way through the song where the rest of the band kicks in. Gerard has said that this was to prevent the song from being too depressing.
