Hi
Here's my contribution for 'Brighter' by against the current! This is my 3rd contribution for
this band, love these guys and their new Gravity EP on which this song is featured is absolutely amazing!
Anyway, enjoy! x
Standard tuning
Capo on 2nd
NOTE: The G chord isn't quite right for the verses, so you may have to fiddle around with it a
bit to get it to sound how it does in the actual song. I have listed a G chord purely because
that was a close as I got to figuring out the correct one. You also want to play a variation of
Em7 which I have listed below as it sounds better than the main one that U-G lists when you
hover over the chord. You can also get a good sound if you remove and them hammer on you index
finger on the C chord during the verses as this sounds similar to the song.
Chords: E A D G B E
G 3-2-0-0-3-3
Em7 0-2-2-0-3-3
C 3-3-2-0-1-0
Dsus2/Gb 2-0-0-2-3-3
[Intro]
G Em7 C
[Verse 1]
G Em7 C
Its a brand new day, it's never too late to start
G Em7 C
Can't live this life with an empty heart
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em7
Every single time that we lay it on the line
C
Its a roller coaster ride for one
G Em7
When we know its do or die and were running out of time
C
We've gotta give it all we got
All we've got!
[Chorus]
G Dsus2/Gb
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
Em7 C
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
G
And burn a little bit brighter now
Dsus2/Gb Em7
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
C
So set the world on fire
G
Let's burn a little bit brighter now
[Verse 2]
G Em7 C
Sometimes we gotta risk it all to chase a dream
G Em7 C
If we dive in head-first, all or nothing kind of thing
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em7
Every single time that we lay it on the line
C
Its a roller coaster ride for one
G Em7
When we know its do or die and were running out of time
C
We've gotta give it all we got
[Chorus]
G Dsus2/Gb
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
Em7 C
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
G
And burn a little bit brighter now
Dsus2/Gb Em7
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
C
So set the world on fire
G
Let's burn a little bit brighter now
[Bridge]
G
Can't stand by and wait like the others
Dsus2/Gb
I'm front line and won't run for cover
Em7
Head held high cause I'm burning brighter
C
Yeah I'm burning brighter!
G
Can't stand by and wait like the others
Dsus2/Gb
I'm front line and won't run for cover
Em7 C
Head held high cause I'm burning brighter
[Chorus]
G Dsus2/Gb
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
Em7 C
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
G
And burn a little bit brighter now
Dsus2/Gb Em7
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
C
So set the world on fire
G Dsus2/Gb
Let's burn a little bit brighter now
Em7 C
Lets burn a little bit brighter now
G Em7 C
Its a brand new day, it's never too late to start
