Capo on 8 For the intro and the verse picking parts while playing the chord he does a walk on the string on frets 5, 3, 1 relative to capo. This is quite important to getting the same sound, but for simplicity I will just write and C. Intro until verse with subtle pluck on 4th fret A string and back down to 3rd just before the verse starts (listen closely to this part to hear what I mean) verse 1: I guess I never really knew the strength I had To keep from falling I guess I never really knew the lengths I’d go To keep from losing my con- trol verse 2 (same as verse 1): I guess I never really knew the fire I lit Would keep on burning I guess I never really knew the path I took Was the only road I’d ever walk Bridge But oh, when the weight it comes Sometimes it gets hard to breathe Till I hear it calling Softly calling * Out to me Saying come on, come on Lift it to the ceiling And sing it with some feeling Lift it from the water So we can keep this love high So we can keep this love dry verse 3 (same as other verses): I guess I never really knew the words I wrote Would keep me breathing I guess I never really knew that darling You’re the fire that burns inside my soul Well you burn inside my soul Chorus So shout it out and say come on, come on Lift it to the ceiling And sing it with some feeling Lift it from the water So we can keep this love high So we can keep this love dry Yeah come on, come on Lift it to the ceiling And sing it with some feeling Lift it from the water So we can keep this love high So we can keep this love dry So we can keep this love high Intro chords until end We can keep this love We can keep this love high Chords used: e|--0----0-----3---1---0---0-----------0-----0---| B|--1----3-----0---1---1---0----3------1-----1---| G|--0----0-----0---2---2---1----2------0-----0---| D|--2----2-----0---3---2---0----0------3-----0---| A|--3----3-----2---3---0---2----0------3-----2---| E|-------------3---1-------0----2----------------| ############################################################ Intro explained: this isn't note for note but should give you an idea what's going on e|----0-----0-----0---------------------------------------------------| B|------1-----1----------3------3-----3-------1-----1------1----------| G|-------------------------0------0-------------0-----0---------------| D|--------2------------------2--------------------2-------------------| A|-3------------3------3------------3-------3------------3------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------| B|--0------0------0-----| G|----0------0----------| D|-------------0--------| A|------2---------------| E|-3--------------------| all x 2 e|----------------------------------------------------| B|-------1-----1----------------0----0------0---------| G|--2------2----------------------0----0--------------| D|----3------3---------------------------0------------| A|------3-----------x2------2-----------------x2--| E|-1------------------------3-------------------------| e|----0-----0-----0------------0------0------0-------| B|------1-----1------------------1------1------------| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|--------2------------------------2-----------------| A|-3------------3-----x3---3-------------4---(3)---| and into the verse E|---------------------------------------------------|
