________________________________________________________
|***G#m7 doesn't have a very easily playable chord form|
|when it comes to the way this song is played, so |
|if you take off the 7th note it's just G#m and sounds |
|close enough, but if your determined to play it right,|
|here's the form: |
|E|--4-- --7-- |
|B|--7-- --7-- |
|G|--4-- or--8-- |
|D|--4-- --6-- |
|A|--6-- --0-- |

[Verse]
F# You woke the mornC#2ing up
running off the dG#m7arkest night
the longest fight i've D#sus4seen
F# Here goes a chanceC#2 i know
cashing in on G#m7all my chips
let all my ships cD#sus4ome fly
[Pre-Chorus]
these Bmaj7days, a little bit lD#monger that the lC#2ast
and all of your Bmaj7ways, a little bit sD#mtronger than the C#2past
and your Bmaj7light, found my bD#mottle in the C#2night
and D#mgave me second lC#ife, you D#mkept me in this C#2fight,
[Chorus]
and I F#2won't back C#2down
I F#2won't turn arBound and around
and I F#2won't back C#2down
doesn't maBtter what comes crashing down
I'm D#mstill gonna stand my sC#2olid ground
[Pre-verse chords]
F#sus2 F# F#sus2 F#5
[Verse]
F# you found me once and fC#2or all
i laid it down in the sG#m7inking ground
the hopeless unD#sus4dertow
F# singing out the gentlC#2e sound
rattling through my sG#m7moking screens
my broken dreams lasD#sus4t night
[Repeat Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge/Outro]
C#5/F F#
I sing Hallelujah, rip through my veins
F#sus2/F
I heard the hammer drop
F#5/D#
my blood in the rain
C#5/F F#
Hallelujah, came like a train
F#sus2/F
when all is lost
F#5/D#
all is left to gain
[Repeat Chorus till end]
