           A                                                 
 Facedown with the LA curbside ending with the ones and zeros
 E B C#m 
   
      A                              
 Downtown was a perfect place to hide
 E B 
   
          A                                                             
 First star that I saw last night was the headlight of a manmade sky But
 E B 
   
          A                                    
 Man made never made our dreams collide collide
 
 E                        E/D#                          A       
 Here we are now with the fallen sky and the rain Were awakening
 E                        E/D#                           A       
 Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain Were awakening
 E B C#m 
   
             C#m                                                           
 Maybe it's called ambition You've been talking in your sleep about a dream

  last week spent living it up in dealines and the dead beats now but
 E                  B               C#m  A 
  this town doesn't look the same tonight
 E                   B                 C#m          A            
  these dreams start sing to me out of no where and all my live I

 We're awakening
 
 C#m              B                    
  I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
 A                                     
  I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
 C#m                   B               
  I wanna heart that I know is beating,
 A                        
  is beating, i'm bleading
 
 C#m              B                    
  I wanna wake up kicking and screaming
 A                                         
  I wanna live like I know what I'm leaving
 C#m                   B              
  I wanna heart that I know is beating
 A

 Jon, they guy who wrote the song, plays it on an acoustic and drops D. during the chorus
                           ?79900 X69900 7X9900                      
 the song he plays an Esus  E/D#  A . During the verse he either
 all the strings and lets the rest of the band play the melody cause he stays in the Esus
                           XX9900                                   
 Could possibly be playing  and just lets the Tim (bass player) play
 bass notes. But I play the chords without a bass player; I won't tell if you don't.
 
 The intro/riff at the top has a chord progression in parentheses. Drew Shirley, the Lead
                          x7x9xx x9x'11'xx           
 plays these as octaves E  F# and so up the neck.
 
 I chorded the song off of a cell phone recording so the lyrics are only as good as the
 When the cd comes out with the lyrics actually audible don't hold it against me.
 
 Also, I'm a music major who plays guitar and bass, so the root chord structure is right.
 you don't know music yet learn your major and minor scales; they help a ton.
 
 Enjoy!
