Standard (EADGBE)
The main riff is an Amaj with a pinky drop to the suspended fourth every now and again.
It's pretty much the whole song...
Alternately:
NOTE: The actual verses are almost entirely this A progression, but it lacks depth when
you're playing it alone on the acoustic. I like to throw around the F#m when it feels
natural, as below, and palm mute until the chorus:
When you step in the room they won't be holding me down
All these demons in my head c'mon let's kill 'em with sound
You see I'm beggin' that you take me and you never look back
That's why I'm crying to a wall hoping that you come out
Hey...I don't wanna wake up from this
I cannot afford to forget
The feeling of your arms, they hold me
The power of your skin, it's lovely
You provoke a man to bow down
I get on my knees and cry out
"Everything I have is yours now"
So the time is now
Don't let me down
Oh the time is now
Please don't let me down
Chorus
Get higher, and higher, and higher
When my back's against the wall
You're the hand that breaks my fall
Climb higher, and higher, and higher
When my back's against the wall
You're the hand that breaks my fall
***Lather, rinse, repeat
