Switchfoot is a Grammy-winning alternative rock band from San Diego, California, United States. The band was formed in 1996 with the brothers Jon Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after. Eventually the band evolved to what it is today with the addition of members Jerome Fontamillas (key/guitar/electronics - formerly of Mortal and Fold Zandura) and Drew Shirley (guitar - formerly of All Together Separate).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Noticed no one had posted the simple chords, so here it is for those who like that sorta I enjoy playing Gravity kinda chill from time to time and this is the aid. Transpone or to your desire, this is the original key of A. I myself prefer this song in C.
For the intro you can do instrumental verse humming that riff, or you can start on a G go into the verse.
A There's a fracture in the color bar In the backseat of a parked car G By the liquor store where the streetlight A Keep you company 'til the next night
A In the same town, there's the same scar In the same glow of the liquor store G By the freeway, where the headlight A Keep her company 'til the next night
AD Oh! Gravity. AD Why can't we seem to keep it together? AD Sons of my enemies, AD Why can't we seem to keep it together?
(this is the piano part, I typically just A D A G to lead back into the verses when on guitar, or you can create some nasty dissonance, whatev you want, be creative.)
A In the back room of the Pentagon There's a thin man with a line drawn G With a red jaw and a red bite A Watch the headline on the next night
AD Oh! Gravity. AD Why can't we seem to keep it together? AD Sons of my enemies, D Why can't we seem to keep it together? F#mD Why this tragedy? AD Why can't we seem to keep it together? AD Oh! Gravity. AG Why can't we seem to pull it together?
AA In the fallout, the fallout ADA We found out the hype won't get you through AA We're connected, connected ADAD D I meant it, the hype won't get you through
AD Oh! Gravity. AD Why can't we seem to keep it together? AD Sons of my enemies, D Why can't we seem to pull it together? F#mD Why this tragedy? AD Why can't we seem to keep it together? AD Oh! Gravity. AG Why can't we seem to keep it together? AD La la la la la la ADA La la la la la la la la la la la DA La la la la la la la la G La lets pull it together
