verse 1 :

C#m G#m
time shakes , found you at the water

earthquakes shake the dust behind you

still not know , i seem blind

come a little closer than you seem

bridge :

in this section there isn’t much rhythm guitar so i tend to just play alongside
the bass roots with power chords ( the “5”chords ) when there isn’t any rhythm guitar .

F#5

F#5

and in the evening the sun sets ,
F#5 G#5 A5
tomorrow it will rise
