The Strike


Tom: Eb

[Intro] Eb  Cm7  Ab
        Eb  Cm7  Ab

[Primeira Parte]

Eb
A little something in the air

I thought I didn’t have a prayer
            Cm7                    Ab
But your friend said, “have faith”
Eb
Rehearsing what I might say

You turn your head, I look away
         Cm7           Ab
And I’m cursing my name

[Pré-Refrão]

Bb                              Cm7            Ab
There’s a voice that’s saying, “take your seat”
Bb                             Cm7                  Ab
This town is small and yet you are always out of reach

[Refrão]

               Eb             Cm7
But suddenly , Every flash of light is
        Ab
Shining on your face
Eb               Cm7
I’m lost for words and
Ab
I’m feeling my heart race
Bb                   Cm7
And I’ve wanted this so bad
Ab                 Eb
How long I won’t say
                   Cm7
In this American Dream
Ab                   Eb
Tell me that you’ll stay

[Segunda Parte]

Eb
You say the city’s gonna talk
                   Cm7           Ab
And that you dream of running off
Eb
And you’ll never look back
                                          Cm7
But would it be so bad If we changed our plans
                 Ab
Are we living in the past

[Pré-Refrão]

Bb                              Cm7            Ab
There’s a voice that’s saying, “step right up”
Bb                              Cm7            Ab
It’s all we’ve known but maybe that could be enough

[Refrão]

               Eb             Cm7
But suddenly , Every flash of light is
        Ab
Shining on your face
Eb               Cm7
I’m lost for words and
Ab
I’m feeling my heart race
Bb                   Cm7
And I’ve wanted this so bad
Ab                 Eb
How long I won’t say
                   Cm7
In this American Dream
Ab
Tell me that you’ll stay

[Terceira Parte]

Cm7         Ab
In my heart, By my side
Eb          Bb
But if I can’t change your mind
Cm7           Ab                 Eb           Bb
Give me your word that you’ll remember this night
Cm7        Ab
Looking up, At the sky
Eb             Bb
With all our friends standing by
Ab
Frozen in the spotlight

Frozen in the spotlight, yeah

Eb               Cm7
I’m lost for words and
Ab
I’m feeling my heart race
Bb                   Cm7
And I’ve wanted this so bad
Ab                 Eb
How long I won’t say
                   Cm7
In this American Dream
