Title: If You Only Knew Artist: Shinedown Album: The Sound of Madness Tuning: Standard This is the acoustic guitar only; electric is basically power (fifth) chords of the same names. A note on the verse riff: The first Am is actually Asus2 with some hammer ons to Am on the open B string, then a hammer on to Asus4. Listen to the song and you'll understand what I'm talking about. Verse: Am If you only knew Am I'm hanging by a thread F C F C The web I spin for you Am If you only knew Am I'd sacrifice my beating F C F C Heart before I lose you Prechorus: Dsus2 I still hold onto the letters G You returned G I swear I've lived and learned Chorus: C Em It's 4:03 and I can't sleep Am G Without you next to me I G C Toss and turn like the sea C Em If I drown tonight, bring me Em Am Back to life Am Breathe your breath in me G The only thing that I still F C G Am F C G Am believe in is you, if you only knew Solo rhythm is the same as the verse. Listen to the song for strum patterns. Enjoy! -Steve
