Awakening Switchfoot
[E] [A] [(E] [F#m] [B]
[F#m/G#mF#m)]
[E] [B] [C#m]
Facedown w[A]ith the LA curbside ending with the ones and zeros
[E] [B] [C#m]
Downt[A]own was a perfect place to hide
[E] [B]
First sta[A]r that I saw last night was the headlight of a manmade sky But
[E] [B]
Man made [A]never made our dreams collide collide
[E]Here we are now with the [E/D#]fallen sky and the rain Were a[A]wakening
[E]Here we are now with the [E/D#]desperate youth and pain Were a[A]wakening
[E] [B] [C#m]
Maybe it's c[C#m]alled ambition You've been talking in your sleep about a dream
We're [B]awakening
[ Tab from: bttp://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/switcbfoot/awakening_crd_ver_2.btml ]
[E] last week spent [B]living it up in [C#m]dealines and the [A]dead beats now but
[E] this town doesn't [B]look the same to[C#m]night[A]
[E] these dreams start [B]sing to me out of [C#m]no where and [A]all my live I
[E] don't know that I've [B]ever felt so a[C#m]live a[A]live
Chorus
We're awakeni[B]ng[D] [A]
[C#m] I wanna wake up [B]kicking and screaming
[A] I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
[C#m] I wanna heart that I [B]know is beating,
[A] is beating, i'm bleading
[C#m] I wanna wake up [B]kicking and screaming
[A] I wanna live like I know what I'm leaving
[C#m] I wanna heart that I [B]know is beating
[A] It's beating, It's beating, It's beating I'm bleeding
Chorus
B(silent} C# A
We're Awakening a Dream We're Awakening
Jon, they guy who wrote the song, plays it on an acoustic and drops D. during the chorus
the song he plays an Esus [?79900] E/D# [X69900] A [7X9900]. During the verse he either
all the strings and lets the rest of the band play the melody cause he stays in the Esus
Could possibly be playing [XX9900] and just lets the Tim (bass player) play
bass notes. But I play the chords without a bass player; I won't tell if you don't.
The intro/riff at the top has a chord progression in parentheses. Drew Shirley, the Lead
plays these as octaves E [x7x9xx] F#[x9x11xx] and so up the neck.
I chorded the song off of a cell phone recording so the lyrics are only as good as the
When the cd comes out with the lyrics actually audible don't hold it against me.
Also, I'm a music major who plays guitar and bass, so the root chord structure is right.
you don't know music yet learn your major and minor scales; they help a ton.
Enjoy!
