We knew we had to leave this town, but we never knew when and we never knew how....

Those words seem to ring true in my life and where I want it to go. I heard this song a couple of days ago when I was checking out Daughtry's new album. It seemed to be a fit for the type of song I usually like to sing. For this one I kept it in the original key. I probably could have moved down a half step or maybe a full step but for those who complain when i don't do a song in the original key, well, here ya go. It was a tough one but I hope I did it justice.

A note about the guitar part. In an interview Chris said that he came up with the guitar riff while trying to play a different one of his songs. The guitar was tuned different and in turn he came up with this riff because of that tuning. I didn't figure out what that exact tuning was and I know that I'm not playing that part correctly because of it. However, I came up with something that is close and still allows me to do the standard chord formations for the chorus.




Here's what I used for chords
1/2 step down tuning with capo on 4 (or standard with capo on 3)
1st half of verses: Em,D/F,Cadd9,D,Cadd9
2nd half of verses: Em, D/F, G, Cadd9
1st half Chorus: G,Cadd9,D,Cadd9
2nd half chorus: G,Cadd9,Em,Cadd9
Bridge: G5,C5

  • not bad for what your style, but you need a harder, edgier sound for this song.
