Collide

Stop The World Now
 
 
[Intro]
G D Em C x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G            D
The dawn is breaking
Em        C
A light shining through
G             D
You're barely waking
Em                    C
And I'm tangled up in you (Yeah)
 
G D Em C
 
 
[Verse 2]
G          D
I'm open you're closed
Em         C
I follow you'll go
G          D              Em
I worry I won't see your face
C
Light up again
 
 
[Chorus 1]
         G              D
Even the best fall down sometimes
         Em                  C
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
           G                     D
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
  Em            C
I somehow find, You and I
G      D Em C
Collide
 
 
[Verse 3]
G          D
I'm quiet you know
Em         C
You make a first impression
G              D
I've found I'm scared to know
    Em              C
I'm always on your mind
 
 
[Chorus 2]
         G              D
Even the best fall down sometimes
         Em                  C
Even the stars refuse to shine
           G                     D
Out of the doubt you fall in time
  Em            C
I somehow find, you and I
G      D Em C ..
(Bridge starts)
 
 
[Bridge]
Em C D

Em C D                 G D Em C
     I'm close behind
G D Em C
I'm close behind
 
(G D Em C)
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
                       C          G ...
You finally find,that You and I Collide
D Em                 C           G

D Em                 C               G
  You finally find, you and I ... Collide ...

Capo 3rd fret i think?

+19

capo 3rd fret, but the chords are pretty much spot on, i notice in the actual song he does something on the D chord. I will try to figure it out and post when i do

On the bridge, it goes... Em C D Don't stop here Em C D I lost my place Em C D I'm close behind Other than that, it wounds great. And to everyone else, it usually doesn't matter if you play Capo 3 or Capo 4. Howie's played both, as well as no capo and several different frets.
