Shinedown – Searchlight
Transpose:
Intro : Am -G C
Am -G
i'm a new soul workin' my way down
C
an old road
Am -G C
asphalt churches all around..
Am -G C
roots break through this deep foundation
Am -G C
can't find my place on solid ground..
F C
no one taught me how to let go
Am G
been hangin' by a thread on a tightrope
F C
and you can't speak what you don't know
G
that's for sure..
Chorus :
F G Am
so don't wait up for me, i don't need
C
your searchlight
F G
while you're fast asleep,
Am
i'm runnin' free
C
yeah, it's all right
F
i know you had a plan,
G
but that's not who i am
Am
i don't know where i'll land,
C
but i don't need
F G (Am)
your searchlight to see anymore
Int. Am -G C
Am
raindrops fall,
-G C
and they feel like the open ocean
Am -G C
spiderwebs shimmer in the dark..
Am -G C
these movies play out in slow motion
Am -G C
cobwebs linger in the heart..
F C
no one taught me how to let go
Am G
been hangin' by a thread on a tightrope
F
but you can still learn
C
what you don't know
G
that's for sure..
