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!
Hello! So this song pretty much sticks with the same Em-C-D-Am progression throughout. You can mix things up in the bass section before the "ooh aah" chorus, but that's pretty optional.
Tuning: Standard, capo 3rd fret
[Verse] EmC Taking me higher than I've ever been before DAm I'm holding it back, just want to shout out, give me more EmC You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling DAm You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning EmC Not even I can't find a way to stop the storm DAm Oh baby, it's out of my control, it's going home EmC But you're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming DAm You're just another day that keeps me breathing
[Chorus] EmC Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure DAm Baby, don't stop me, hideaway with me some more
[Here is where the bass comes in. It works well with the same Em-C-D-Am progression, or you can try Em for 4 counts, C for 2, and D for 2. The C and D are syncopated like the bass line. I don't know. Either works. Stick with one all the way through the "ooh aah"s.]
[Verse] EmC You send me the shiver and the spine that might overflow DAm You're bringing me closer to the edge, I'm letting go EmC You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling DAm You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning EmC Putting my head into the clouds I'm floating home DAm When you can be going I can't find a way to stop EmC You're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming DAm You're just another day that keeps me breathing
Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh
[Chorus] EmC Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure DAm Baby, don't stop me, hideaway with me some more Hideaway with me some more
[Bridge] Bringing me higher than I've ever been before I'm holding it back, just want to shout it, give me more
[Verse] EmC You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling DAm You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning EmC Not even I can find a way to stop the storm DAm Oh baby, it's out of my control what's going on EmC You're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming DAm You're just another day, that keeps me breathing EmC You're a day that keeps me dreaming DAm
Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh
[Chorus] EmC Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure DAm Baby, don't stop me, hideaway with me some more Hideaway with me some more
