Am Dsus2 G

Am Dsus2 G
I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive
Am Dsus2 G
I don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside
Am Dsus2 G Am Dsus2 G
I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes

Am Dsus2 G
I hope that I can say the things I wish I'd said
Am Dsus2 G
To sing my soul to sleep and take me back to bed
Am Dsus2 G (Am G D Fmaj7 E)
who wants to be alone when we can feel alive instead


Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7 C G
Because we need each other we believe in one another
Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7 C G
And I know we're going to uncover what's sleepin' in our soul
Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7 C G
because we need each other we believe in one another
Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7 C G
And I know we're going to uncover what's sleepin' in our soul
Am G D Fmaj7 E
what's sleepin' in our soul...

(repeat for the 2nd verse)

there are many things that i would like to know
and there are many places that i wish to go
but everything's depending on the way the wind may blow
I dont know what it is that makes me feel alive
i dont know how to wake the things that sleep inside
Am G D Fmaj7 E
i only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes...

Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7 C G
Because we need each other we believe in one another
Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7 C G
And I know we're going to uncover what's sleepin' in our soul
Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7 C G
because we need each other we believe in one another
Fmaj7 C G Fmaj7 C G
And I know we're going to uncover what's sleepin' in our soul
Fmaj7 C G
sleeping in our soul...
Fmaj7 C G
cause we believe...

ends with:

Fmaj7 C D#5 C G

I don't know about the rest of you, but I get chills just from hearing them sing lead vocals on the same track. Especially in the transition from the first chorus to the second verse, when Noel holds onto "soul" and it leads into Liam coming in with "there". I love it. This song is amazing!

Acquiesce-NOel claims to have written the songs lyrics on the way to the studio to record Some Might Say. THe train he was on was delayed and during this interruption he wrote parts of the song. THe tune began life as the song written about noels fav english football club-Manchester CIty. The live Because we need each other we believe in one another were originally Its tough being in blue when u come from where i do a reference to MC playing in a blue shirt. According to THE MASTerplans sleeve notes The song is about friendship in the widest sense and not, as often speculated, about the Gallagher brothers themselves.
