ok guys this is my first tab so yea . . . please let me have constructive criticism
if you think its necessary but this is a chord progression that i wrote for one of
my favourite rise against songs , and hope that you all can enjoy it as much as i do : )

to summarise , for those of you who know the words :

whole song played on capo 1

Am , G , Em , D – verses

C , D – pre – chorus

Em , G , C , D – chorus

and now for the more accurate tab :

intro : Am , G , C , D

Am G
fighting back the impulse turn my head and close my eyes
Em D
spending these nights awake and cold and paralyzed
Am G
wonder how we got this far and never realized
Em D
the common thread that binds our lives
C
and i know you hurt
D
but i can help you if you can . . .

D Em
take my hand
G C D
and we’ll live inside the dreams we left behind
Am
take my hand
G C D
as we move from this place to a better life
Am
take my hand
G C D Am G C
wohoooha
D
if you take my hand

Am G
fighting back the feeling that you always could deny
Em D
anything but everything we know is just a lie
Am G Em D
as i cremate this memory and watch the darkened ashes rise
D
and beneath the smoke
C D
i’ll stand and ask you if you can . . .

D Em
take my hand
G C D
and i’ll promise not to ever let it go
Em
take my hand
G C D
’cause this hope is greater than you’ll ever know
Am G
( take my hand )
C D Em G C D
and this is all i’ll ever ask of you to show

( breakdown sort of bit . . . play Em as many times as you feel comfortable with . . . )

Am
fight back the urges
G
turn my head and close my eyes
Em D
and will i wake tomorrow still alive

C
i’m still dreaming
D
i’m still waiting

i’m still sure
C
( i’m still sure )
D
you’re still living in a life

that isn’t yours
C
( that isn’t yours )

and this is part of me
D
i hope you never see
C D
this is my life inside your heart

Em
take my hand
G C D
and i’ll promise not to ever let it go
Em
take my hand
G C D
’cause this hope is greater than you’ll ever know
Em G
( take my hand )
C D Em G C D
and this is all i’ll ever ask of you to show

finish on Em
