Stay Alive

[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]
 
Ebm C# B
 
F#
Dawn is coming
C#    Ebm 
Open your eyes
Ebm
 Dawn is coming
C#        B
 Open your eyes
F# 
Dawn is coming
C#        Ebm
Open your eyes
Ebm
 Dawn is coming
C#        B
Open your eyes
Ebm                      C#       B
Look into the sun as the new days rise
 
 
[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]
 
     F#                       C#      Ebm
But there is a truth and it's on our side
Ebm            C#         B 
Dawn is coming open your eyes
F#                 C#     Ebm (hold until fade)
 Look into the sun as a new days rise

Thank you for this; great tab and great song. I did note a fair number of chords that aren't "encoded" so that if you change the key those chords are off.

great tab thank you! the only small think is that i thought the chords might be misplaced a bit, but they sound right to me once you find the rhytm :-)

it looks easier to play with a capo on 1st
