Rebel Tide

	  		

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
