The main riff is an Amaj with a pinky drop to the suspended fourth every now and again. It's pretty much the whole song... e | ------0--0-0-----------0--0-0----------------------- | B | --2222222222223322-2222222222223322----------------- | G | --2222222222222222-2222222222222222----------------- | D | --2222-22-2-222222-2222-22-2-222222----------------- | A | --0----------------0-------------------------------- | E | ---------------------------------------------------- | Alternately: e | ---------------------------------------------------- | B | ---------------------------------------------------- | G | --6666966969667766-6666966969667766----------------- | D | --7777777777777777-7777777777777777----------------- | A | --0----------------0-------------------------------- | E | ---------------------------------------------------- | NOTE: The actual verses are almost entirely this A progression, but it lacks depth when you're playing it alone on the acoustic. I like to throw around the F#m when it feels natural, as below, and palm mute until the chorus: A When you step in the room they won't be holding me down F#m All these demons in my head c'mon let's kill 'em with sound A You see I'm beggin' that you take me and you never look back F#m That's why I'm crying to a wall hoping that you come out A Hey...I don't wanna wake up from this F#m I cannot afford to forget The feeling of your arms, they hold me A The power of your skin, it's lovely You provoke a man to bow down F#m I get on my knees and cry out E "Everything I have is yours now" D So the time is now E Don't let me down D Oh the time is now E Please don't let me down Chorus: A A4 F#m Get higher, and higher, and higher D A When my back's against the wall D A You're the hand that breaks my fall A4 F#m Climb higher, and higher, and higher D A When my back's against the wall D A You're the hand that breaks my fall ***Lather, rinse, repeat -JVV
