Notes:  The other tab of this song was quite good, but not exactly how Mat Kearney plays it.  
I've been studying the patterns and style of Mat Kearney for a while now.  After seeing
him play live, watching videos of him playing live, and slowing down the studio recording
of this song, I can confirm that this is how he plays the song.

Also, Mat Kearney makes a very quick switch to a G5
before jumping into the Chorus.  You have to listen closely.

(He mixes up a chord in the bridge though, as you can see)

Verse 1:
   

       D                                        A  
You're watching everything you ever held on to      slip away from you

D                                                A
All you're running from well it's catching up to you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prechorus 1:
 
                       G5
Got you looking for a lifeline

                Bm
Swimming in the high tide

                G5
Waiting for the daylight

             A    G5
To bring you home

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chorus 1:

    D                   D/F#  
The world is too big to never ask why

    G5                                     A
The answers don't fall straight out of the sky

    D                    D/F#
I'm fighting to live and feel alive

    G5                                     A      
But I can't feel a thing without you by my side

G5        A
          Send me out a lifeline

Oh, send me out a lifeline

   for you again and again and over again
 
Bm                  G5                D     A
