[Intro]
E F#sus4 B G# F#sus4 G# (x8)
 Yea-aa-aa-ah!
 
[Verse 1]
E                       B                     C#m               A
Face down with the LA curbside endings with the ones and zeroes
E                             B           C#m         A
Downtown was the perfect place to hide.
E                       B                            C#m        A
First star that I saw last night was a headlight in the manmade sky
E                           B    C#m      A
But Manmade never made our stars collide, collide.
 
[Chorus]
E                               B               C#m     A
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain, we’re awakening.
E                               B               C#m     A
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain, we’re awakening.
E                   B                       C#m A
Maybe it’s called ambition, you’ve been talking in your sleep,
C#m                     A
About a dream, we’re awakening.
 
[Bridge 1]
E F#sus4 B G# F#sus4 G#
 
[Verse 2] (same as 1)
Last week saw me living for nothing but deadlines, in my deadbeat sky but,
This town doesn’t look the same tonight.
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere, and in all my life I,
don't know if I've ever felt so alive, alive.
 
[Chorus]
E                               B               C#m     A
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain, we’re awakening.
E                               B               C#m     A
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain, we’re awakening.
E                   B                       C#m A
Maybe it’s called ambition, you’ve been talking in your sleep,
C#m                     A
About a dream, we’re awakening.
 
[Bridge 2]
B     D     A
 
C#m                  B                          A
    I wanna wake up kicking and screaming, I wanna wake up kicking and screaming 
C#m                   B                         A
    I wanna heart that I know is beating, is beating, I’m bleeding
C#m                  B                          A
    I wanna wake up kicking and screaming, I wanna live like I know what I'm leaving
C#m                   B                 C#m                       B
    I wanna heart that I know is beating, I wanna heart that I know is beating
C#m                       B
    I wanna heart that I know is beating
A                                                N.C.
    It's beating,   It's beating,   It's beating,   I'm bleeding.
 
[Chorus]
E                               B               C#m     A
Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain, we’re awakening.
E                               B               C#m     A
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain, we’re awakening.
E                   B                       C#m A
Maybe it’s called ambition, you’ve been talking in your sleep,
C#m                     A
About a dream, we’re awakening.

Great song! 5 stars! For simplicity's sake though, change the C#m, and Ab to each a C and an A. Still sound good though☺☺ Great song!

for me its slightly hard to do if I play all the chords in their main chord pattern, but if i play it on all six strings its easier, who thinks that?
