Chords

This is another great song from Switchfoot, off their upcoming album "Vice Verses". Don't let all the chord names fool you, its actully pretty simple, Jon just likes to use alot of different phrasings and I needed a way to separate the phrasings, check the bottom for a chord chart. Heres the link to one of the videos I used to tab this one... enjoy!

CAPO: 5 Intro: C#m Asus2 Bsus4
C#m
    Looking for reasons

Asus2                Bsus4
To believe instead of doubt

                     Bsus4
Breathe in instead of out
There's gotta be a reason
C#m
    Looking for answers

Asus2                Bsus4
For the poor and the pain

                                Bsus4
When they both start to feel the same
There's gotta be a reason
A2                  Aadd2
Only one breath at a time she said

E5                             Aadd2
All my tears are falling to the floor she Said

C#m7                         Aadd2
Never felt it rain like this before she said

E5                                       Add2    
I'll sing these black eye blues into the storm instead

        C#m7          Bsus4        A2
I'll be waiting for my new eyes to arrive, 

                   C#m Asus2 Bsus4
One breath at a time
(same as verse one) And the kings and queens and little dreams stuck inside these nightmares Sometimes, sometimes And the fairy tales replay, seems so far away from where we are tonight, sometimes
A2                   Add2
I hear her talking to herself in bed

E5                             Aadd2
All my tears are falling to the floor she Said

C#m7                         Aadd2
Never felt it rain like this before she said

E5                                       Add2    
I'll sing these black eye blues into the storm instead

        C#m7          Bsus4        A2
I'll be waiting for my new eyes to arrive, 

                   C#m Asus2 Bsus4
One breath at a time

A2            E                 Aadd2
Oh oh oh oh oh one breathe at a time

             Badd11             A2
Oh oh oh oh oh one breathe at a time

              E                 Aadd2
Oh oh oh oh oh one breathe at a time

             Badd11                  E5
Oh oh oh oh oh and I'm holing on to you
Badd11 And I won't let go
                    A2             
My world is torn in two
Add2 No I won't let go
                              E
You're the only thing that's true
Badd11 In this old world of black eyed blues Disillusions, points of view
A2                                     Aadd2
When the pain cuts like a knife she said

A2                                     Aadd2
But I'm not giving up on life she said
(Chorus chords and melody) Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh she said x3
       C#m7           Bsus4        A2  
I'll be waiting for my new eyes to arrive
