Off of his new album, "Wake Up And Say Goodbye",
which was released Tuesday, Sept. 23rd, 2008.
Very lovely song, not too fast.
Chords used: Am (002210), F (133211), C (032010), and G (320033)
Standard Tuning.
Intro and verse: there is a definite strum pattern here; eighth note strums, it goes:
(d down, u up)
/ are beats (4 per measure.)
Right then, let's get this started.
INTRO:
[Am] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [F] [/] [/] [/] [C] [/] [/] [/] [G] [/] [/][/][/][/][/][/]
VERSE 1:
[(G)]Give me a [Am]sign
Give me a [F]reason to hold [C]on
I?m holding [G]on
What is a [Am]life
A series of [F]moments all in a l[C]ine
Just passing [G]by
CHORUS: (straight down strums, four per measure)
[(G)]And so I [F]lay here awake
As all the [C]clouds fall away
Then fast a[G]sleep in your arms
Wake up [Am]wonder where we are
Try to [F]freeze frame the day
Then the l[C]ight starts to fade
I will [G]scream at the sky
?Til we [Am]drink the oceans dry
And so we [F]run
C / / / G / / / (let ring)
VERSE 2:
[(G)]Over the [Am]bridge
Back to the [F]place where we were [C]young
What we could have [G]done
What did you [Am]find
Here we are n[F]aked under [C]God
Lucky God is b[G]lind
CHORUS:
[(G)]And so I [F]lay here awake
As all the [C]clouds fall away
Then fast a[G]sleep in your arms
Wake up [Am]wonder where we are
Try to [F]freeze frame the day
Then the l[C]ight starts to fade
I will [G]scream at the sky
?Til we [Am]drink the oceans dry
And so we [F]run
And so we [C]run
And so we [G]run...[Am]
And so we [F]run
And so we [C]run
G (let ring:)
And so we run...
BRIDGE: (eighth note strum pattern)
[(G)]Give me a si[Am]gn
Give me a r[F]eason to hold [C]on
G (ring)
I'm holding on
CHORUS:
[(G)]And so I [F]lay here awake
As all the [C]clouds fall away
Then fast a[G]sleep in your arms
Wake up [Am]wonder where we are
Try to [F]freeze frame the day
Then the l[C]ight starts to fade
I will [G]scream at the sky
?Til we [Am]drink the oceans dry
And so we [F]run
And so we [C]run
And so we [G]run...[Am]
And so we [F]run
And so we [C]run
G (let ring:)
And so we run...
Right, it's easy! Enjoy.
