VERSE 1: (plucked)
Em G Bm Em C9 G C9 B
There’s a song that’s inside of my soul,
Em G Bm Em C9 G C9 B
It’s the one that I’ve tried to write over and over again.
Em G Bm Em C9 G C9 B
I’m awake in the infinite cold,
Em G Bm Em C9 G C9 B
But you sing to me over and over and over again.
CHORUS: (strummed)
E B A
So I lay my head back down,
E B
And I lift my hands and
A C#m7
Pray to be only yours,
A C#m7
I pray to be only yours,
C9 B
I know now you’re my only hope.

Em G Bm Em C9 G C9 B
Sing to me the songs of the stars,

Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.

When it feels like my dreams are so far,
Em G Bm Em C9 G C9 B
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

I’ll give you my apathy,

I’m giving you all of me.

I want your symphony,

Singing in all that I am.
A B
At the top of my lungs,
A B
I’m giving it back.___
REPEAT CHORUS
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SWITCHFOOT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
