Hey guys, an easier, more playable version of José González's Stay Alive with a more acoustic sound. Just a
heads up, below is the plucking pattern I use while alternating between strumming, but feel free to form
your own plucking pattern!

[Verse 1]
G D Em
There's a rhythm in rush these days
Em D Cadd9
Where the lights don't move and the colours don't fade
G D Em
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
Em
In a world gone shallow
D Cadd9
In a world gone lean
[Verse 2]
G D Em
Sometimes there's things a man cannot know
Em D Cadd9
Gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
G D Em
There's no place to run and no gasoline
Em D Cmaj7
Engines won't turn and the train won't leave
Em D Cadd9
Engines won't turn and the train won't leave
[Chorus]
G D Em Cadd9
I will stay with you tonight
D Em Cmaj7
Hold you close 'til the morning light
G D Em
In the morning watch a new day rise
D Em Cmaj7
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
D Em Cadd9
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
[Verse 3]
G D Em
Well the way I feel is the way I write
Em D Cadd9
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
G D Em
There is a truth and it's on our side
Em
Dawn is coming
D Cmaj7
Open your eyes
Em D Cadd9
Look into the sun as the new days rise
[Chorus]
G D Em Cadd9
And I will wait for you tonight
D Em Cmaj7
You're here forever and you're by my side
G D Em
I've been waiting all my life
D Em Cmaj7
To feel your heart as it's keeping time
D Em Cadd9
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
[Instrumentals]
G D/F# Em Cmaj7
[Bridge]
G D/F# Cadd9
Dawn is coming open your eyes
G D/F# Cadd9
Dawn is coming open your eyes
G D/F# Cmaj7
Dawn is coming open your eyes
G D Cmaj7
Look into the sun as the new days rise
[Outro]
G D Em
There's a rhythm in rush these days
Em D Cadd9
Where the lights don't move and the colours don't fade
G D Em
There is a truth and it's on our side
Em
Dawn is coming
D Cmaj7
Open your eyes
G D Cmaj7
Look into the sun as a new days rise
