Chords

*****NOTE**** - 1) Read the notes on the Bridge and Outro BEFORE you start playing. 2) If you are playing this song just by yourself, I think it sounds better if you replace the Dsus4 with G in the VERSE and BRIDGE. But in the original version of the song they use the chords as listed below. Intro - Em C Dsus4 D (Verse)
Em           C              Dsus4
     Another year's gone so fast

        D                Em
Another life becomes the past

          C
Under the weight of dreams

       Dsus4                   D
That I never thought would last

           Em
Feelings clash

       C               Dsus4
A satellite across the globe

            D               Em
This window seat becomes my home

      C               Dsus4          D          Em
I lay awake for hours staring at the world below
(Chorus)
C          G             D
  Into the waves again I go

              C 
Holding on to you

          G              D
I found a way to make it through

                  Em
By holding on to you
(Verse)
        C                Dsus4
Another night just slips away

            D                 Em
Wishing the time would let me stay

         C                            Dsus4        D
Stuck in between two lives that could never be the same

     Em            C                Dsus4
I remain without a chance to say to you

           D               Em
That every word I said was true

      C                    Dsus4             D
I lay awake all night just staring back at you
(Chorus)
C          G             D
  Into the waves again I go

              C 
Holding on to you

          G              D
I found a way to make it through

That I do 

Dsus4     D              Em  C
