Facedown with the LA curbside ending with the ones and zeros
E B C#m

Downtown was a perfect place to hide

First star that I saw last night was the headlight of a manmade sky But

Man made never made our dreams collide collide
E E/D# A
Here we are now with the fallen sky and the rain Were awakening
E E/D# A
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain Were awakening
E B C#m
C#m
Maybe it's called ambition You've been talking in your sleep about a dream

We're awakening

Jon, they guy who wrote the song, plays it on an acoustic and drops D. during the chorus
the song he plays an Esus [?79900] E/D# [X69900] A [7X9900]. During the verse he either
all the strings and lets the rest of the band play the melody cause he stays in the Esus
Could possibly be playing [XX9900] and just lets the Tim (bass player) play
bass notes. But I play the chords without a bass player; I won't tell if you don't.
The intro/riff at the top has a chord progression in parentheses. Drew Shirley, the Lead
plays these as octaves E [x7x9xx] F#[x9x'11'xx] and so up the neck.
I chorded the song off of a cell phone recording so the lyrics are only as good as the
When the cd comes out with the lyrics actually audible don't hold it against me.
Also, I'm a music major who plays guitar and bass, so the root chord structure is right.
you don't know music yet learn your major and minor scales; they help a ton.
Enjoy!
