Underoath - Reinventing Your Exit Acoustic

reinventing your exit ( acoustic )
underoath

underoath never released this song as an acoustic version , but aaron has
played it acoustic live before , so this is based off of that version ( found
here :
changes i’ve made that i think make it sound better . ( namely , changing the
intro from just strumming Am9 for 4 bars into a fingerpicked progression that
lasts 8 bars and sounds very nice . )

the song can be played in drop D or standard , but aaron plays it in drop D ,
and that’s by far the easier way to play of the two . that being said , i’m
writing out the chords in drop D . so if you want to play it in standard , you
can figure out how to do an F6sus2 yourself , because my hands can’t contort
like that .

in the verses , when you see ( Cmaj7 ) , you can either play that chord or
continue playing Am9 . either way sounds fine . chords followed by an
asterisk * are fingerpicked .

Am9 ( Cmaj7 )
12th and hide on a sunday
F6sus2 G6sus4
feeling like we’re gold
Am9 ( Cmaj7 ) F6sus2 G6sus4
and we’re nothing short of invincible
Am9 Cmaj7 F6sus2 G6sus4
invincible
Am9 Cmaj7 F6sus2 G6sus4
invincible

Am9
it starts again
( Cmaj7 )

Am9 ( Cmaj7 )
it’s you and me on a monday
F6sus2 G6sus4
the lies that we told
Am9 ( Cmaj7 ) F6sus2 G6sus4
this is where we both go numb now
Am9 F6sus2 G6sus4
you broke my heart again this time
Em Am9 F6sus2
you’re fading now , you crossed the line
G6sus4 Em
you crossed the line

F6sus2 Am9
we all want to be ,
G6sus4
we want to be somebody
Fsus2 Am9 G6sus4
right now we’re just looking for the exit

Am9 Cmaj7 F6sus2 G6sus4
this is the way i would have done things
Am9 Cmaj7
when we’re up against the wall , up against the wall
F6sus2 G6sus4
you’ve got me up against your wall
Am9 Cmaj7 F6sus2 G6sus4
this is the way i would have done things
Am9 Cmaj7
when we’re up against the wall , up against the wall
F6sus2 G6sus4
