This is the acoustic version of the track Rebel Tide from the Embellish EP
(listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/thejellyrox/rebel-tide-coffee-house).
This is an amazing song, and really easy and really fun to play.
The only thing I would suggest is being careful of the timing
of the chords. The transitions are syncopated, but once you
get the hang of it, it's a piece of cake. Enjoy!
Standard Tuning
verse 1:
G
I'm shooting for the stars to hit the moon
Dsus
Mapping out a course for both my shoes
Em C2 Dsus D
I've already practiced acting like there's nothing to it.
G
Try to hold the world together in my mind
Dsus
Try to make it snow in mid-July
Em C2 Dsus D
Try to prove my heart is worth the blood that's pumping through it
Pre-Chorus
Em C2 G
Praying like a child on Christmas Eve
Em C2 G
Father won't you raise the sun early?
Em C2 G Dsus D
If you do this one last thing for me I'll be your soldier
Em C2 G D
And it takes you by surprise
Em C2 G D
Like a rebel tide
Em C2 G Dsus D
Like lightning from the sky has been searching for you
Em C2 G D
And it splits you like a knife
Em C2 G D
The moment that it strikes
Em C2 G Dsus D
When you realize that death was looking for you.
Verse2:
G
I try to keep my hopes above my doubts
Dsus
Try to keep my thoughts above my mouth
Em C2 Dsus D
I feel like a satellite just dying to leave my orbit
G
I take another shot at faking love
Dsus
Miss it by a mile and then some
Em C2 Dsus D
My insides are thirsty for whatever drink you're pouring
Pre-Chorus
Em C2 G
Praying like a child on Christmas Eve
Em C2 G
Father won't you raise the sun early?
Em C2 G Dsus D
I ask an awful lot of both my knees just waiting for you
Em C2 G D
And it takes you by surprise
Em C2 G D
Like a rebel tide
Em C2 G Dsus D
Like lightning from the sky has been searching for you
Em C2 G D
And it splits you like a knife
Em C2 G D
The moment that it strikes
Em C2 G Dsus D
When you realize that death was looking for you.
Em C2 G
He was looking for you
D Em C2 G
Oh...
D Em C2 G Dsus D
Oh...
Em C2 G D
And it takes you by surprise
Em C2 G D
Like a rebel tide
Em C2 G Dsus D
Like lightning from the sky has been searching for you
Em C2 G D
And it splits you like a knife
Em C2 G D
The moment that it strikes
Em C2 G Dsus D
When you realize that death was looking for you.
Em C2 G
He was looking for you
D Em C2 G
Oh...
D Em C2 G D
Oh... When you find out death was looking for you
End on: G
