Hey guys, this is my first tab here on UG, so feel free to leave any  
comments/corrections.  Before you start, this tab is meant to be played on the acoustic guitar, and is  
oriented for beginners.  Give it a try and let me know what you think! 


Intro: 

Am, C, Am, F, G 
Am, C, Am, F, G, Am 


verse 1: 
I tried to match the chords with the strum pattern of the guitar.  If you have  
difficulty playing them, listen to the song again, and keep trying! 

Am                Em C 
Dont let me forget, 
  Em    C   Em  C 
Where I started 
                     G  C 
Cuz I keep losing my sight 
G   C          G    Am 
I'm blinded by the light 
                 C 
My dreams are in front of me 
    G     F        C              G              Am 
And everything I've worked for is standing at my door 




  Am         C 
I know I may be the first to forget 
    Am  F                  G  Am 
But I appreciate the air I breathe 
                  C 
I know that I may be the first to forget 
    Am  F                  G  Am 
But I appreciate the air I breathe 


verse 2: 

Am            Em C 
We choke when we 
      Em C     Em   C 
Focus on negativity 
                       G C 
When did this turn into 
        G    C         G       Am 
Something we took for granted 

          G     C       Dm   F  G Am 
This road, wont take us home 
          G     C       Dm         F    G  Am 
This road, wont take us home (wont take us home) 
               G       C     Dm 
This road wont take us home, 
                F          G    Am 
To the place we thought we know 
               G       C     Dm 
This road wont take us home, 
                F          G 
To the place we thought we know 


 

  Am         C 
I know I may be the first to forget 
    Am  F                  G    Am 
But I appreciate the air I breathe 
                  C 
I know that I may be the first to forget 
    Am  F                  G    Am 
But I appreciate the air I breathe 


verse 3: 

Am, G, C, G x2 

       Am   G C 
Take a breath, 
G         Am G C 
Take your time 
G      Am   G C 
Take a breath, 
G         Am G C G Am 
Take your time 

                 C 
My dreams are in front of me 
    G      Am       C             G              Am 
And everything I've worked for is standing at my door 

Dm   Em F     G Am 
Keep me alive 
           Dm Em F 
The faces, we ignore 
                        G         Am 
Could be the faces that keep us alive 
           Dm Em F 
The faces, we ignore 
                        G          Am  Dm C G 
Could be the faces that keep us alive 




  Am         C 
I know I may be the first to forget 
    Am  F                  G    Am 
But I appreciate the air I breathe 
                  C 
I know that I may be the first to forget 
    F G Am C F                  G   
  Am 
But I-     appreciate the air I breathe
