INFORMATION


Beautiful song. Some simple power chords with synthesizers and guitar
riffs that I couldn't pick up. Knock yourself out try and figure them
if you're feeling adventurous.

If you want to play acoustic version, the chord progression is
C -> G -> Am -> F in Eb tuning.

DISTORTION TUNING: Standard or drop D
CLEAN/ACOUSTIC Gt.: Eb (every string down 1 half step)

EFFECTS: Light distortion, with medium sustain
This is what I have on my Metal Zone:

Level: 9 o'clock
Low: Max
High: 10
Mid freq: Max
Middle: 12
Dist: 11


BEGIN: Synthesizers (play chords B->F#->G#->E)
and riffs for 4 measures


[C]so much more about you that you [G]never let them see
You turn a[Am]way
But not to [F]me

[C]I know how they tried to take you
[G]Held you up and meant to break you [Am]down
But you can't [F]be

[C]For so long I tried to reach you
I [G]know I'm almost there
I'm close [Am]enough for you to [F]see


Clean/Acoustic guitar can keep playing this progression.
Basically: B5 C, F#5 G, G#5 Am, E5 F.
This is where distorted power chords come in.


B5 -> A#5 -> G#5

[B5]You've been hiding in the [F#5]shadows
Have you forgo[G#5]tten how we used to [E5]dream
[B5]Let me remind you
The [F#5]light doesn't blind you at [G#5]all
It just helps you [E5]see
Can you [F#5]see

[B5]Yeah you have be[F#5]come
Yeah you have be[B5]come beauti[E5]ful

[B5]And I can't be the stranger
That's been [F#5]sleeping in your bed just
Turn a[G#5]round and come to [E5]me
[B5]I feel all the pain inside
And ever[F#5]ything you been denied you [G#5]feel
It's all you [E5]feel


B5 -> A#5 -> G#5


[B5]You've been hiding in the [F#5]shadows
Have you forgo[G#5]tten how we used to [E5]dream
[B5]Let me remind you
The [F#5]light doesn't blind you at [G#5]all
It just helps you [E5]see
Can you [F#5]see


[B5]Yeah you have be[F#5]come
Yeah you have be[B5]come beauti[E5]ful
[B5]Yeah you have be[F#5]come
Yeah you have be[B5]come beauti[E5]ful


[B5]Brush back your hair and look around you
[F#5]Feeling like the truth has found you [G#5]here
You're here with [E5]me
[B5]Let love become the mir[F#5]ror
With no [F#5]fear where you're [E#]from


[B5]You have [F#5]become
Yeah you have [G#5]become[F#5] beauti[E5]ful


MISCELLANEOUS


Most of the percussion is played in this pattern:

x x x x x x x x
[s] [s]
[B] [B] [B]
x 8th note cymbal
s snare
b bass drum

You can accompany with an acoustic guitar and a clean guitar.
Clean gt. plays chords down, down, down, down strumming pattern (8th notes).
The real song uses a clean guitar. I think it sounds better with acoustic.
