It Took The Dead

Common Shiner


Tom: C

C                                F
In a wordless moment, everything changed
C                                  F        G
And nothing I can do can take that away
                F                             C        G
And the hardest part is not knowing where you stand
                   F                    C
I think I may have lost you before this began

[Verse 2]
C                                F         C
So much pain, I thought it could end
                                      F        G
But hello, sadness, you've joined me again
               F                       C        G
Well pull up a chair, it'll be a while because
                  F                  C
Turns I'm not the person I thought I was

[Chorus]
Am               C
So come on, wake up
             G           F
You know I'm counting on you
  Am            C
I thought I was enough
   G       F
To pull us through
        F                  C
And I'm sorry for all I've done
               G                  Am       F
You know I was never good at this part
G         C
And so it starts

[Verse 3]
C                                          F        C
In a whimpering moment, the first one went off
                                        F       G
The air became thick, the ground became soft
             F                       C        G
And everyone feared just what would arise
                         F                            C
But I took your hand and said "They'll never take us alive"

[Chorus 2]
Am               C
So come on, wake up
            G            F
The waiting starts right now
Am                    C
The end will come sometime
                  G                       F
But we don't know when, and we don't know how
         F              C
And when all of this is done
              G                Am       F       G
You'll be the only thing in my heart
          C
And so it starts

[Solo]

[Outro]
C                G
Please don't let go
Am               F
Please don't let go
C                G
Please don't let go (come on, wake up)
Am               F        C
Please don't let go (come on, wake up)
          G        Am       F        C
Don't let go on me yet (come on, wake up)
          G        Am       F        C
Don't let go on me yet (come on, wake up)
          G        Am       F        C    C  F  
Don't let go on me yet (come on, wake up)
        F    C                   G           C
No waiting     we are forever in the waiting
