VERSE 1:
()
Give me a sign
Give me a reason to hold on
I’m holding on
What is a life
A series of moments all in a line
Just passing by
CHORUS: (straight down strums, four per measure)
()
And so I lay here awake
As all the clouds fall away
Then fast asleep in your arms
Wake up wonder where we are
Try to freeze frame the day
Then the light starts to fade
I will scream at the sky
’Til we drink the oceans dry
And so we run
C / / / G / / / (let ring)
VERSE 2:
()
Over the bridge
Back to the place where we were young
What we could have done
What did you find
Here we are naked under God
Lucky God is blind
CHORUS:
()
And so I lay here awake
As all the clouds fall away
Then fast asleep in your arms
Wake up wonder where we are
Try to freeze frame the day
Then the light starts to fade
I will scream at the sky
’Til we drink the oceans dry
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run...
And so we run
And so we run
G (let ring:)
And so we run...
BRIDGE: (eighth note strum pattern)
()
Give me a sign
Give me a reason to hold on
(ring)
I'm holding on
CHORUS:
()
And so I lay here awake
As all the clouds fall away
Then fast asleep in your arms
Wake up wonder where we are
Try to freeze frame the day
Then the light starts to fade
I will scream at the sky
’Til we drink the oceans dry
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run...
And so we run
And so we run
G (let ring:)
And so we run...
Right, it's easy! Enjoy.
