Really great song by a great band.
Standard Tuning
Verse 1 and Chorus 1 I usually play palm muted, as well as the second half of the bridge.
Notice that the chords are slightly different in the final chorus.
------------Verse 1------------
Em
So scratch away the sand stuck in your ears
D
Water all the crops with showers of tears
Em
Tell all those baby's mothers they don't need no fear
D
'Cause God's got their hearts in his hands
Em
And we'll ask all of the painters if they dressed in white
D
To walk around the streets, in the dead of the night
Em
Dance like guests at a wedding underneath the lights
D
Look at the buildings and say "I touched that"
----------Pre-Chorus----------
C D Bm
Oh we always wanna brag...
C D Bm
Oh we always wanna brag...
------------Chorus------------
Em
So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the
D
Old me, dies and slips out of this
Em
Body, Rip him out of my body
C D
And make me new again
------------Verse 2------------
Em
Well maybe I'm the writer that will spark that flame
D
That makes the world believe in the right kind of faith
Em
But perhaps, I need to get these feet off stage
D
And find a smaller pair of shoes to fill
Em
What I know is that my father's only son said
D
"There'll be time for sleep when the work is done"
Em
Keep your pedal to the floor until the race is won
D
What if the race is not a race at all
C D Bm
Don't you crash into a tree?
C D Bm
Don't you crash into a tree...
------------Chorus------------ x 2
Em
So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the
D
Old me, dies and slips out of this
Bm
Body, Rip him out of my body
C D
And make me new again
------------Bridge------------
Em
He spoke his words to me like well driven nails
D
They sank like wind to rain to my rusty sails
Bm
The sailor's hands took flight and hung in the sky
C D
Below a celebration that land's in sight
Em
My heart puffs with pride, as I'm defined
D
In the center of the room filled with all your eyes
Bm
Leading me to believe that I'm so fresh and revised
C D
But God I'm nothing if I don't have you...
Em
I'm nothing (I AM)
D
I'm nothing (I'M NOT A THING)
Bm C D
I'm nothing (I AM!)
Em
I met my brother in a hallway
D
Said he loved Jesus and I said "I think I do too"
Bm
I met my brother in a hallway
C D
I met my brother in a hallway
------------Chorus------------ x 2
G
And said hold me, underneath the water 'till the
D
Old me, dies and slips out of this
Em
Body, Rip him out of my body
C D
And make me new again
Enjoy! :)
