Verse1: C (play the tabs everytime in the verses)
When you find your castle on a hill
With the bars on the windows
Will you burn the bridge behind you?
Will you ever come out and see the
Am F
sun again? Will you hide?
Am
Now how long has it been
G
since you´ve seen the light?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/lifehouse/eighties_crd.html ]
Verse2: C
Make your way on the stairs to the top of your tower.
Stonecold floors,hardwood doors lead you to your room
Am
of plastic flowers
Am F
They still look the same.
Am G
Drendged in water.It comforts you to think that they´re alive.
Chorus:(either you play in chords or in tabs-I think in chords sounds better)
C Em Am
It could have been easier than this.
Am F C
If you threw it all away what would you miss?
C Em Am
It could have been too much of a chance to take.
Am F C
The silence in your head would have to break.
C Em Am
Your grip is slipping faster.
Am F C
Looks like you´ll have to face yourself after all.
Note:Play the last chord C like the intro again.
Verse3: C
Step outside the shadows of your cage.
Strangled truth, stolen youth is written on every line
Am
of every page.
Am F
It´s your story.
Am
Do you want it back?
G ( 2x-but without the 5 last tones of the tab)
You have to decide if it´s worth it.
Em (2x)
Swim across the swamp to the other side.
Am
Run until your out of breath
Am
When you look back there´ll be nothing left
G (once-with the 5 last notes again)
but a memory fading quickly.
Chorus: C Em Am
It could have been easier than this....
Play the chorus twice.
End on the C-tabs (Outro = Intro)
...You´re welcome!
