This is a tab for the acoustic version of Elevated;
it's off of State Champ's acoustic EP called "The Acoustic Things".
Standard: EADGBe
CAPO2
I don't know the picking lead in the beginning, just the chords. Feel free to contribute
if you know it.
The strumming pattern is "easy enough" to figure out...see what I did there?
Chords: (you can mute the 2's on the G and C chords if you choose. I think they sound
better that way.)

[Verse 1]
C
Pulled aside as if I was the wrong one,
C
You said it all and you made me the lost one.
G
Elevated by your greatest mistake, now I'm all alone.
C
I bet you couldn't tell that I felt the same way,
C
Struggling just to get to the next day.
G
I'm not force fed lies while I'm by your side.
[Pre Chorus]
Em C
Shaking your head doesn't change this.
G G F#/G Em
Preparing myself for a train wreck,
G D
I can't be saved.
[Chorus]
C G
So tell me why can't you see
D Em D
This is where you need to be?
C G
You know, it's taken its toll on me,
D Em D
But I don't feel invisible.
C G
So tell me why can't you see
D Em D
This is where you need to be?
C G
You know, it's taken its toll on me,
D Em D
So I'll hope for a miracle.

Find a way to stay in your skin.
