INTRO:
Am / / / / / / / F / / / C / / / G / / / / / / /


VERSE 1:
(G)       Am
Give me a sign
          F              C
Give me a reason to hold on
            G
I?m holding on
          Am
What is a life
            F                 C
A series of moments all in a line
             G
Just passing by

CHORUS: (straight down strums, four per measure)
(G)      F
And so I lay here awake
           C
As all the clouds fall away
           G
Then fast asleep in your arms
        Am
Wake up wonder where we are
       F
Try to freeze frame the day
          C
Then the light starts to fade
       G
I will scream at the sky
        Am
?Til we drink the oceans dry
          F
And so we run

C / / / G / / / (let ring)

VERSE 2:

(G)      Am
Over the bridge
            F                   C
Back to the place where we were young
                   G
What we could have done
             Am
What did you find
             F          C
Here we are naked under God
              G
Lucky God is blind

CHORUS:
(G)      F
And so I lay here awake
           C
As all the clouds fall away
           G
Then fast asleep in your arms
        Am
Wake up wonder where we are
       F
Try to freeze frame the day
          C
Then the light starts to fade
       G
I will scream at the sky
        Am
?Til we drink the oceans dry
          F
And so we run
          C
And so we run
          G          Am
And so we run...
          F
And so we run
          C
And so we run
          G (let ring:)
And so we run...

BRIDGE: (eighth note strum pattern)
(G)         Am
Give me a sign
           F             C
Give me a reason to hold on
            G (ring)
I'm holding on

CHORUS:
(G)      F
And so I lay here awake
           C
As all the clouds fall away
           G
Then fast asleep in your arms
        Am
Wake up wonder where we are
       F
Try to freeze frame the day
          C
Then the light starts to fade
       G
I will scream at the sky
        Am
?Til we drink the oceans dry
          F
And so we run
          C
And so we run
          G          Am
And so we run...
          F
And so we run
          C
And so we run
          G (let ring:)
And so we run...

Right, it's easy! Enjoy.
