"Stay Alive" by Jose Gonzalez

Note on Tuning:
I arranged this song in a modified version of open D MajorD tuning because it sounds great for just a solo guitar!
Basically it is DADGAD but with the g-string tuned up to an A, thereby making it DADAAD.
Hope you enjoy, God bless.

~Tuning: DADAAD
~Capo on 4th fret

VERSE:

F#F#          C#C#    D#mD#m
There's a rhythm in rush these days
      D#mD#m           C#C#      BB
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
F#F#           C#C#     D#mD#m
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
   D#mD#m           C#C#     BB
In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean


F#F#             C#C#     D#mD#m
Sometimes there's things a man cannot know
D#mD#m            C#C#      BB
Gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
     F#F#          C#C#  D#mD#m
There's no place to run and no gasoline
D#mD#m            C#C#      BB
Engine won't turn and the train won't leave
D#mD#m             C#C#     BB
Engines won't turn and the train won't leave


F#F#    C#C#    D#mD#m   BB
I will stay with you tonight
C#C#           D#mD#m    BB
Hold you close 'til the morning light
     F#F#   C#C#   D#mD#m   BB
In the morning watch a new day rise
   C#C#      D#mD#m    BB
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
    C#C#     D#mD#m    BB
We'll do whatever just to stay alive

F#F#    C#C#           D#mD#m
Well the way I feel is the way I write
  C#C#              D#mD#m   BB
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
  F#F#           C#C#   D#mD#m
There is a truth and it's on our side

D#mD#m       C#C#    BB
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
C#C#            D#mD#m    BB
Look into the sun as the new day?s rise


  F#F#   C#C#   D#mD#m  BB
And I will wait for you tonight
 D#mD#m             C#C#    BB
You're here forever and you're by my side
  F#F#   C#C#   D#mD#m   BB
I've been waiting all my life
  C#C#           D#mD#m   BB
To feel your heart as it's keeping time
    C#C#         D#mD#m  BB
We'll do whatever just to stay alive

  F#F#      C#C#     BB
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
  F#F#      C#C#     BB
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
  F#F#      C#C#     BB
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
  F#F#      C#C#     BB
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
  F#F#      C#C#     BB
Look into the sun as the new day?s rise


F#F#          C#C#    D#mD#m
There's a rhythm in rush these days
      D#mD#m            C#C#      BB
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
F#F#           C#C#      D#mD#m
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
   D#mD#m           C#C#     BB
In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean


   F#F#            C#C#  D#mD#m
But there is a truth and it's on our side
D#mD#m       C#C#    BB
Dawn is coming open your eyes
 D#mD#m          C#C#     BB
Look into the sun as a new day?s rise
