Tuning: DGDGBD (Open G), with a capo at the 4th fret. All notes are relative to the capo.
Rich Robinson never plays the same thing twice, even on studio albums, and this is no
Feel free to take a lot of liberty with the verse riffs and the strumming patterns in the
It sounds like he played the entire song on an acoustic (which can be heard through the
channel), and overdubbed the chorus and solo rhythm on electric.

As previously mentioned, an electric guitar was added for both the choruses and solo
During the solo, the electric rhythm guitar plays the same thing as the acoustic.
Wake me when the day breaks
Show me how the sun shines
Tell me about your heartaches
Who could be so unkind?
Do you dream to touch me?
And smile down deep inside
Or could you just kill me?
It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes.
My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.
Are you wanting inspiration
You spill your secrets on me
Then you tell me with a whisper
Of things that will never be.
Do you hear me breathing?
Does it make you want to scream?
Did you ever like a bad dream?
Sometimes life is obscene.
My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.
Lover cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine
Lover cover me with a good dream
Let your love light shine
