Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) This song is simple in structure but actually kind of complex in harmony. A lot of the chords were kind of difficult to name so I'd recommend to familiarize yourself with the exact fingerings of each before attempting the song. Using any form of the chords should still sound okay though Chords used: Verse Cmaj7: x-3-5-4-5-3 Fmaj7: x-8-10-9-10-8 Em/A: x-0-5-4-5-3 Bbmaj7:x-1-3-2-3-1 Asus4: x-0-2-2-3-0 A: x-0-2-2-2-0 A/C# x-4-2-2-2-x
Pre-Chorus Dsus2: x-x-0-2-3-0 For this part, just play this chord with whatever note in the bass, using the lower 3 strings of the guitar Chorus Bsus4: 7-7-9-9-7-7 F#sus4: 2-2-4-4-2-2 Dadd9/A: x-0-2-2-3-2 Gmaj7: 3-x-0-0-3-2 Solo Em: x-7-9-9-8-7 Cmaj7: 8-x-9-9-8-7 Bm7: 7-9-9-7-10-x Bbmaj7/F: x-8-8-10-10-10 Am: x-12-14-14-13-12 Am/F#: 14-x-14-14-13-12 Gsus2: 10-12-12-10-10-10 And for the actual song Intro: Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Verse: Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 I lie awake watching your shoulders Em/A Bbmaj7 Asus4 A A/C# Move so softly as you breathe Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 With every breath you're growing older Em/A Bbmaj7 Asus4 A A/C# But that is fine if you're with me Pre-Chorus: Dsus2 Dsus2/C Dsus2/B I pledge to wake you with a smile Dsus2/G Dsus2/F# I pledge to hold you when you cry Dsus2/E Dsus2/F I pledge to love you 'till I die Dsus2/G Dsus2/F 'Till I die Interlude: Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Em/A Bbmaj7 Asus4 A A/C# Verse: Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 The morning light plays on your eyelids Em/A Bbmaj7 Asus4 A A/C# A sleeping beauty dressed in sun Pre-Chorus: Dsus2 Dsus2/C Dsus2/B I will wake you with a smile Dsus2/G Dsus2/F# I will hold you when you cry Dsus2/E Dsus2/F I will love you 'till I die Dsus2/G Dsus2/F 'Till I die Dsus2/G Dsus2/F Dsus2/Bb Dsus2/C Buildup: Bm A G F#m Em C Bm Bb Chorus: Bsus4 F#sus4 Dadd9/A I believe this heart of mine when it tells my eyes Gmaj7 That this is beauty Bsus4 F#sus4 Dadd9/A I believe this heart of mine when it tells my mind Gmaj7 That this is reason Bsus4 F#sus4 Dadd9/A I believe this heart of mine when it cries at time Gmaj7 That this is forever Bsus4 F#sus4 Dadd9/A I believe this heart of mine when it tells the skies Gmaj7 That this is the face of God Solo: Em Cmaj7 Bm7 Bbmaj7/F Am Am/F# Gsus2 Em Outro: Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 (let ring) I lie awake watching your shoulders Have fun!
