Stay Alive by José González
Stay Alive
Capo:no capo
[Refrain]
F# C# Ebm
Ebm C# B
F# C# Ebm
There's a rhythm in rush these days
Ebm C# B
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
F# C# Ebm
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
Ebm
In a world gone shallow
C# B
In a world gone lean
[Verse 1]
F# C# Ebm
Sometimes there's things a man cannot know
Ebm C# B
Gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
F# C# Ebm
There's no place to run and no gasoline
Ebm
Engine won't turn
C# B
And the train won't leave
Ebm C# B
Engines won't turn and the train won't leave
[Break 1]
F# C# Ebm B
I will stay with you tonight
F# C# Ebm
Hold you close 'til the morning light
F# C# Ebm B
In the morning watch a new day rise
Ebm C# B
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
Ebm C# Ebm
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
[Verse 2]
F# C# Ebm
Well the way I feel is the way I write
Ebm C# B
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
F# C# Ebm
There is a truth and it's on our side
Ebm
Dawn is coming
C# B
Open your eyes
F# C# Ebm
Look into the sun as the new days rise
[Break 2]
F# C# Ebm B
And I will wait for you tonight
Ebm C# B
You're here forever and you're by my side
F# C# Ebm B
I've been waiting all my life
Ebm C# B
To feel your heart as it's keeping time
Ebm C# B
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
[Bridge]

[Refrain]
F# C# Ebm
There's a rhythm in rush these days
Ebm C# B
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
F# C# Ebm
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
Ebm
In a world gone shallow
C# B
In a world gone lean
[Outro]

But there is a truth and it's on our side

Dawn is coming open your eyes

version 5
Alternate Tuning
Tuning:D A D F# A D
Capo:4th fret
Note on Tuning:
I arranged this song in a modified version of open D tuning because it sounds
great for just a solo guitar!
Basically it is DADGAD but with the g-string tuned up to an A, thereby making
it DADAAD.
~Tuning: DADAAD
