Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x4

Lately the sun is castin' shadow over me

 So come on and take me by the hand,

Lead me through the trouble waters of the sea

 So maybe you got a halo over your head all the time

 As for me, all I need is this rhythm for movin'

 Cause you know, I keep kickin' it live, yea

Can I get a witness?

To defend my case

No I won't get caught up

In the corporate rat race

Well all I got's this committment

And behind it I'll stand tall

 If flat shadows get me down

 I'ma roll if I fall

 So step back for a moment

To analyze all that you've achieved

 And tell me was it what you wanted?

(Was it what you wanted?)

Did it make you happy?

(Did it make you happy?)

 Or had you been decieved?

 And if you have still yet to understand this theme

 Well plain and simple

 Don't live somebody else's dream

 Don't you know the sea will surely come again

 And the stars will fill the sky

 Well it's a simple inspiration

 But it always blows my mind, yea

Well can i get a witness?

To present my plea

And no I won't fall victim

To this animosity

All they can teach you

Is the writin' on the wall

 I'm gonna cut my strings free

 And I'ma roll if I fall

x2

You know I'll roll if I fall..

 Cause it's a simple inspiration

 It always gets me high

 It's a familiar disposition

 I can see it in your eyes

 It's the beauty of a new sunrise

 You can never see one the same

 And when we add the score at the end of this life,

 Wanna say I won the game

 It's the simple inspiration

 It always gets me by

 It's a familiar disposition

 I swear I see it in your eyes

 It's the beauty of a new sunrise

 You can never see one the same

 And when we add the score at the end of this life,

 Wanna say I won the game

 It's the simple inspiration

 It always gets me high

 It's a familiar disposition

 I swear I see it in your eyes

 It's the beauty of a new sunrise

 You can never see one the same

 And when we add the score at the end of this life,

 I Wanna say I won the game

 I Wanna say I won the game

 I Wanna say I won the game

 I Wanna say I won the game

 Yea bring it back, yea
