Then back to the Verse, after playing the Riffs twice, stop on the B chord for a
then continue with the verse as usual
Chorus again, same as first time
Bridge/Outro?: This is probably the toughest part of the song to get to sound right,
the same chord progressions throughout, but they change the strumming pattern to get
a different sound during part of it. Again this is easiest to learn by listening to the
though
Progression: B Ebminor (quick slide into: ) E (strum, then slide into: ) F#
many times

Lately the sun is castin' shadow over me
So come on and take me by the hand,
Lead me through the trouble waters of the sea
So maybe you got a halo over your head all the time
As for me, all I need is this rhythm for movin'
Cause you know, I keep kickin' it live, yea
Can I get a witness?
To defend my case
No I won't get caught up
In the corporate rat race
Well all I got's this committment
And behind it I'll stand tall
If flat shadows get me down
I'ma roll if I fall
So step back for a moment
To analyze all that you've achieved
And tell me was it what you wanted?
(Was it what you wanted?)
Did it make you happy?
(Did it make you happy?)
Or had you been decieved?
And if you have still yet to understand this theme
Well plain and simple
Don't live somebody else's dream
Don't you know the sea will surely come again
And the stars will fill the sky
Well it's a simple inspiration
But it always blows my mind, yea
Well can i get a witness?
To present my plea
And no I won't fall victim
To this animosity
All they can teach you
Is the writin' on the wall
I'm gonna cut my strings free
And I'ma roll if I fall
You know I'll roll if I fall..
Cause it's a simple inspiration
It always gets me high
It's a familiar disposition
I can see it in your eyes
It's the beauty of a new sunrise
You can never see one the same
And when we add the score at the end of this life,
Wanna say I won the game
It's the simple inspiration
It always gets me by
It's a familiar disposition
I swear I see it in your eyes
It's the beauty of a new sunrise
You can never see one the same
And when we add the score at the end of this life,
Wanna say I won the game
It's the simple inspiration
It always gets me high
It's a familiar disposition
I swear I see it in your eyes
It's the beauty of a new sunrise
You can never see one the same
And when we add the score at the end of this life,
I Wanna say I won the game (x4)
Yea bring it back, yea
