: 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!
