The main riff is an Amaj with a pinky drop to the suspended fourth every now and again.
It's pretty much the whole song...

NOTE: The actual verses are almost entirely this A progression, but it lacks depth when
you're playing it alone on the acoustic. I like to throw around the F#m when it feels
natural, as below, and palm mute until the chorus:
A
When you step in the room they won't be holding me down
F#m
All these demons in my head c'mon let's kill 'em with sound
A
You see I'm beggin' that you take me and you never look back
F#m
That's why I'm crying to a wall hoping that you come out
A
Hey...I don't wanna wake up from this
F#m
I cannot afford to forget
The feeling of your arms, they hold me
A
The power of your skin, it's lovely
You provoke a man to bow down
F#m
I get on my knees and cry out
E
"Everything I have is yours now"
D
So the time is now
E
Don't let me down
D
Oh the time is now
E
Please don't let me down
Chorus:
A Asus4 F#m
Get higher, and higher, and higher
D A
When my back's against the wall
D A
You're the hand that breaks my fall
Asus4 F#m
Climb higher, and higher, and higher
D A
When my back's against the wall
D A
You're the hand that breaks my fall
***Lather, rinse, repeat
---------
When you step in the room
They won't be holding me down
All these demons in my head
Come on let's kill them with sound
You see begging that should take me
And you never hold back
That's why I'm crying to a wall
Hoping that you come now
Hey...I don't wanna wake up from this
I cannot afford to forget
The feeling of your arms, they hold me
The power of your skin, it's lovely
You provoke a man to bow down
An I get on my knees and cry out
"Everything I have is yours now"
Pre-Chorus:
So the time is now
Don't let me down
Oh the time is now
Just don't let me down
Chorus:
Get higher, and higher, and higher
When my back's against the wall
You're the hand that breaks my fall
Climb higher, and higher, and higher
When my back's against the wall
You're the hand that breaks my fall
Take me to a place for romance
You can choose the space and for this
I can hardly breathe it's so deep
My hands begin to shake with frailty
You will not escape my embrace
'Cause I'll be holding on with violence
Everything I have is yours now
Pre-Chorus
In the room...
They won't be holding me down
All these demons in my head
Come on let's kill them with sound
You see...
Finally get a message that we're gonna breakout
I say we wrestle all the angels 'til they give us a crown
You know...
We're gonna live forever if we hold to love
So don't you leave me when you know that I'm needing your touch
You see...
I'm begging that you take me and you never look back
That's why I'm crying to a wall hoping that you come now
Chorus
(Ooh woah oh oh, ooh woah oh oh....)
We will be heard (repeat 6x)
You're my fire, you're my fire
You're my fire...
