Reinventing Your Exit (Acoustic)
Underoath

Underoath never released this song as an acoustic version, but Aaron has 
played it acoustic live before, so this is based off of that version (found 
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnaX0CRVkyg). I've made a few minor 
changes I've made that I think make it sound better. (Namely, changing the 
intro from just strumming Am9 for 4 bars into a fingerpicked progression that 
lasts 8 bars and sounds very nice.)

The song can be played in Drop D or standard, but Aaron plays it in Drop D, 
and that's by far the easier way to play of the two. That being said, I'm 
writing out the chords in Drop D. So if you want to play it in standard, you 
can figure out how to do an F6sus2 yourself, because my hands can't contort 
like that.

   Am9    Cmaj7   F6sus2   G6sus4    Em     C/D    Csus4/D 
e|-(0)-----(0)-------------------------------3--------3----|
B|--0-------0------(3)------(5)-----(0)------5--------6----|
G|--5-------5-------5--------5-------4-------5--------5----|
D|--5-------5-------5--------5-------5-------0--------0----|
A|--0-------3-------3--------5-------2---------------------|
D|------------------3--------5-------2---------------------| 

In the verses, when you see (Cmaj7), you can either play that chord or 
continue playing Am9. Either way sounds fine. Chords followed by an 
asterisk* are fingerpicked.

         Am9       (Cmaj7)
12th and Hide on a Sunday
F6sus2             G6sus4
Feeling like we're gold
          Am9     (Cmaj7)     F6sus2   G6sus4
And we're nothing short of invincible
Am9   Cmaj7   F6sus2   G6sus4
Invincible
Am9   Cmaj7   F6sus2   G6sus4
Invincible


          Am9
It starts again
        (Cmaj7)
Can you feel it?
   F6sus2            G6sus4
It takes your breath away
     Am9        (Cmaj7)    F6sus2
Stop saying that we're invincible
G6sus4
It's round and round
     Am9   F6sus2   G6sus4    Em
You're uninviting, unrewarding
Am9     F6sus2
And I'm misinforming you
G6sus4   Em
Misinforming you


F6sus2         Am9
We all want to be 
           G6sus4
We want to be somebody
Fsus2                Am9             G6sus4
Right now we're just looking for the exit

Am9   Cmaj7     F6sus2       G6sus4
This is the way I would have done things
          Am9                      Cmaj7
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
              F6sus2         G6sus4
You've got me up against your wall
Am9   Cmaj7     F6sus2       G6sus4
This is the way I would have done things
          Am9                      Cmaj7
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
              F6sus2         G6sus4
You've got me up against your wall


             Am9     (Cmaj7)
It's you and me on a Monday
    F6sus2       G6sus4
The lies that we told
        Am9     (Cmaj7)     F6sus2   G6sus4
This is where we both go numb now
Am9          F6sus2           G6sus4
You broke my heart again this time
              Em                        Am9   F6sus2
You're fading now, you crossed the line
                G6sus4     Em
You crossed the line


F6sus2         Am9 
We all want to be, 
           G6sus4
We want to be somebody
Fsus2                Am9             G6sus4
Right now we're just looking for the exit


Am9   Cmaj7     F6sus2       G6sus4
This is the way I would have done things
          Am9                      Cmaj7
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
              F6sus2         G6sus4
You've got me up against your wall
Am9   Cmaj7     F6sus2       G6sus4
This is the way I would have done things
          Am9                      Cmaj7
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
              F6sus2         G6sus4
You've got me up against your wall


Am9      Am9       F6sus2      G6sus4
Reaching out for a hand that's not there
Am9         Am9         F6sus2  G6sus4
But you're not there and I'm not...
