Extra Information :
This song will take a bit to get the hang of because of the fast pace and chord progressions.
I suggest taking it one riff at a time and going slowly, and finally playing it along with
the actual song. This song is great and is one of my all time favorites. It is very easy to
play for me, and it only took me a few minutes, then again I pick up songs very very quickly.
The bridge is taking me a bit longer then I hoped it would, I have an idea but am trying to
get it 100% right. This tab includes all the guitar in the song except the rhythm guitar on
the verses. The verses are really weird and use some effects and chords, but my band just improvises. Too be totally honest just do some tremolo on the rhythm guitar during the verses, as well as string bending and it should sound just fine. This song is a lot of fun to play and I
know you'll make Switchfoot proud. Keep rockin guys, here's the lyrics.
Lyrics :
Intro -
OOOOOOOOOOOOO.......
OOOOOOOOOOOOO.......
OOOOOOOOOOOOO.......
OOOOOOOOOOOOO.......
Yeah!!!
Verse 1 -
Face down with the LA curbside endings
With the ones and zeros.
Downtown was the perfect place to hide.
The first star that I saw last night was a headlight
Of a man-made sky, but man- made never made our dreams collide,
Collide.
Chorus 1 -
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening
Verse 2 -
Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines,
With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And in all my life I don't know if I've ever felt so alive,
Alive
Chorus 2 -
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening
Bridge -
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to know that my heart's still beating,
It's beating,
I'm bleeding
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to live like I know what I'm leaving
I want to know that my heart's still beating,
It's beating... it's beating... it's beating...
I'm bleeding!!!
Chorus 3 -
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with our desperate youth and pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talk, talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening a dream, we're awakening
Yeah!!!
Outro -
OOOOOOOOOOOOO.......
OOOOOOOOOOOOO.......
OOOOOOOOOOOOO.......
OOOOOOOOOOOOO.......
