This is a simple song to learn, and, as opposed to the album version, the acoustic (EP) version can be played by yourself, without the need of a back-up band an electric guitarist. I believe the tuning is standard, with a capo on the 1st, but you can choose to tune it up, or ignore the capo, since it's only a half-step difference. Just listen to the song and you'll get the timings. Also, you can add little transitional chords (normally, in this song, a D transitions a to Em nicely, or vice versa), and since some parts of the song itself are hard to hear, there may be a few incorrect chords, or a missed one here or there, but what I've got here is good for solo performance. Chords used: (from high E to low E) G: 330023 Em: 330220 D: 330002 C: 330233 Verse(s): G I'm wide awake and so alive Em D Ringing like a bell G Tell me this is paradise Em D And not some place I fell G Cus I keep on falling down Chorus: Em D C G I wanna feel the car crash, I wanna feel it capsize Em D I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop C G Til I'm satisfied Em D C G I wanna feel the crash, cus I'm dyin on the inside Em D I wanna let go and know that I'll be C G Alright, alright [Verse 2 is the same chords as Verse 1, and then one more Chorus] Solo/Breakdown: C C C C C C G So right C C C C C C G D C G So wrooooooong G (quick transitional D) I'm wide awake and so.... alive [Chorus once more]
