Josh Record - Wide Awake
Not a very hard song,
though I'm not sure about the Pre-Chorus and bridge,
so if you have suggestions, please comment!
capo 3
Intro:
Em D C (2x)
Em D C
All of the noise inside our room is quiet with rage
Em D C
And both of our minds are unsure
Em D C
To all of these ears outside our walls Our home is ours.
Em D C
Where love seemed to feel our hearts.
Pre-Chorus
D Am
But these pictures can tell lies
D Am
And my words will still fall short
D Am
And my heart lays disguised
C
I’m sorry I -,
[Refrão]C G
Never meant to make you cry
Em D
Never meant to make you love me
C G
Now I’m wide awake with open eyes
Em D
Lost in all the love that we shared.
C G
Oh, I’m sorry that you even care
Em D
Break these chains and walk without me.
Em D C
Your eyes are red, The lie was born, stole our truth
Em D C
Beneath all your joy, lay my despair.
Em D C
Behind all these clouds, There is no sun to raise its head
Em D C
The love we have left is just yours.
Pre-Chorus
D Am
But these pictures can tell lies
D Am
And my words will still fall short
D Am
And my heart lays disguised
C
I’m sorry I -,
[Refrão]C G
Never meant to make you cry
Em D
Never meant to make you love me
C G
Now I’m wide awake with open eyes
Em D
Lost in all the love that we shared.
C G
Oh, I’m sorry that you even care
Em D
Break these chains and walk without me.
Bridge
Em C D
All our ways were paved with gold
C
But built upon the sand
Em D
And we could climb above the water
C
And rest upon the land.
Em G
It’s up to you, you make the choice
D C
For I could stay if you need
Em D
For our home, for your heart.
C G
Em D
[Refrão]C G
Never meant to make you cry
Em D
Never meant to make you love me
C G
Now I’m wide awake with open eyes
Em D
Lost in all the love that we shared.
C G
Oh, I’m sorry that you even care
Em D
Break these chains and walk without me.
