Tunning: Standard (Capo on 4th Fret)
 
Intro: C   G   Em7   Dsus   G   x4
 
 
C     G    Em7
Catch your breath
Em7  D  G
Hit the wall
C      G   Em7
Scream out loud
       Em7   D  G
as you start to crawl
     C  D    Em7
Back in your cage
   C   D   Em7
the only place
C     D    Em7
where they will 
    Em7  D  C
leave you alone
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
 
          G
Cause the weak will seek the weaker
             C
till they've broken them
                 Em7
could you get it back again
                G   D
Would it be the same
   Em7
Fulfillment to their lack of strength 
   C
at your expense
              Em7
Left you with no defense
             G    D
They tore it down.
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
C          D        Em7
And I have felt the same
   C         D        Em7
as you, I've felt the same 
   C         D        Riff2
as you, I've felt the same.
 
 
Riff2: C   G   Em7   Dsus   G   x2
 
 
  C   G   Em7
Locked inside
  Em7  D  G
the only place
      C   G    Em7
Where you feel sheltered
     Em7  D    G
Where you feel safe
    C    D   Em7
You lost yourself 
        C      D  Em7
in your search to find
C   D     Em7
something else 
   Em7  D    C
to hide behind.
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
 
          G
Cause the fearful always
                 C
prayed upon your confidence
                 Em7
Did they see the consequence
                G     D
They pushed you around
    Em7
The arrogant build kingdoms
            C
made of the different ones
                   Em7
Breaking them till they've become
             G     D
Just another crown.
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
C          D        Em7
And I have felt the same
   C         D        Em7
as you, I've felt the same 
   C         D        Em7
as you, I've felt the same
   C         D        G
as you, I've felt the same.
 
 
[BRIDGE]
 
C      D  Em7
Refuse to feel
C        D  Em7
Anything at all
C      D  Em7
Refuse to slip
Em7    D  G
Refuse to fall
C     D  Em7
Can't be weak
C     D     Em7
Can't stand still
C     D    Em7
Watch your back
     Em7 D   C
cause no one will.
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
 
G
You don't know why 
         C
I had to go this far
                  Em7
Traded your worth for these scars
              G      D
For your only company
Em7
Don't believe the lies 
             C
that they've told to you
             Em7
Yeah not one word was true
       G               D             C
You're alright you're alright you're alright.
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
C          D        Em7
And I have felt the same
   C         D        Em7
as you, I've felt the same 
   C         D        Em7
as you, I've felt the same
   C         D        G
as you, I've felt the same.

Great tab! The only thing I play differently is instead of a G chord in the intro/verse (catch your breath...), I walk down from the C chord and then play C/B. So I play it C C/B Em7 Dsus G. Love it, though. Excellent job!

Picking intro .. Relative to Capo on 4th. e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------| D|-10--9--5*----5--7--9-----10--9--5*---5--7--5-| A|----------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------| *Let this note ring longer. It sounds really really good if you play that twice .. then going into strumming the chords for the intro. OR You can have a 2nd guitar play the picking intro while you play the strumming intro. Awesome tab.
