First star that I saw last night was the headlight of a manmade sky But
E B

Man made never made our dreams collide collide
E E/D# A
Here we are now with the fallen sky and the rain Were awakening
E E/D# A
Here we are now with the desperate youth and pain Were awakening
E B C#m
C#m
Maybe it's called ambition You've been talking in your sleep about a dream

We're awakening
E B C#m A
last week spent living it up in dealines and the dead beats now but
E B C#m A
this town doesn't look the same tonight
E B C#m A
these dreams start sing to me out of no where and all my live I
E B C#m A
don't know that I've ever felt so alive alive
Chorus

We're awakening

I wanna heart that I know is beating,

C#m B
I wanna wake up kicking and screaming

I wanna live like I know what I'm leaving

I wanna heart that I know is beating
A
It's beating, It's beating, It's beating I'm bleeding

all the strings and lets the rest of the band play the melody cause he stays in the Esus
Could possibly be playing [XX9900] and just lets the Tim (bass player) play

The intro/riff at the top has a chord progression in parentheses. Drew Shirley, the Lead
plays these as octaves E [x7x9xx] F#[x9x'11'xx] and so up the neck.
I chorded the song off of a cell phone recording so the lyrics are only as good as the
When the cd comes out with the lyrics actually audible don't hold it against me.

Enjoy!
