Title: Needle and Haystack Life
Preformed by: Switchfoot
Written by: Jon Foreman
(Verse 1)
The world begins
With newborn skin
We are right now
You're a needle girl
In a haystack world
We are right now
(Prechorus 1)
You breathe it in
The highs and lows
We call it living
(Chorus)
In this needle and haystack life
I've found miracle's there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime
(Verse 2)
No, don't let go
Don't give up hope
All is forgiven
(Prechorus 2)
You breathe it in
The highs and lows
We call it living
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
All is not lost
All is not lost
()
Become who you are
It happens once in a lifetime
(Repeat Chorus)

I made a mess of me
I wanna get back the rest of me
I've made a mess of me

Title: Your Love is A Song
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: Hello Hurricane (2009)
A simple chord sheet. These are the basic chords I use for supplementary instruments and piano.
(x2)
(Verse 1)
I hear you breathing in
another day begins
the stars are falling out
my dreams are fading now, fading out
(Prechorus 1)
I've been keeping my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my eyes wide open
(Chorus 1)
your love is a symphony
all around me, running through me
your love is a melody
underneath me, running to me
your love is a song
(Verse 2)
the dawn is fire bright
against the city lights
the clouds are glowing now
the moon is blacking out
(Prechorus 2)
I've been keeping my mind wide open
I've been keeping my mind wide open
your love is a song
(Chorus 2)
your love is a symphony
all around me, running to me
your love is a melody
underneath me, running to me
your love is a song
your love is a song
your love is a song
your love is strong
(Prechorus 3)
with my eyes wide open
I've got my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my hopes un broken
Yeah! Yeah!
(Chorus 3)
your love is a symphony
all around me, running through me
your love is a melody
underneath me, running to me
your love is a song
Yeeeeeeaaaah!
YEEEEEAAAAH!
Your love is my remedy!
Oh, your love is a song
THE SOUND (JOHN M. PERKINS BLUES) - Switchfoot
Tabbed by: Dan!
Tuning: Drop (DADGBE)
Here's all the main rhythm guitar parts, I'll get that weird solo and maybe the little
later
Main Riff for intro, verses, bridge, outro
Palm mute the open ones
During the parts of the verse where they sing "oh, oh, oh," don't palm mute
Pre-Chorus ("Can you hear it rise up from the ground?") chords
II "From the discontented mouths"
Repeat parts I + II again
Repeat the verse again, and note that the guitar drops out at a couple parts
Repeat pre-chorus
At part II, another guitar part comes in. I believe Drew is using a Digitech Whammy here
to one octave up and playing this
(I think the slide-up is simulated by the Whammy btw)
If you don't own a Whammy (and I suggest buying one because they're loads of fun), you
play this. It won't sound quite the same, though.
Play the main riff for the solo, with some variations on what's palm-muted
Pre-chorus again
Parts I+II, then I again
The last time part II is played, Drew changes up the Whammy thing a little and plays
(if you stink at bending, just sliding up to the 7 is fine)
And for you Whammy-not-havers
(these are 10's, NOT 1's and 0's!)
Play through the riff a few more times without the palm mute, and end on that last note
the 10th fret of the low (or , whatever you want to call it)
I might the rest later, but you have all the parts that are actually worth knowing for now!
l PM Palm-Mute

Boom... The Static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
Ooooh
Ooooh
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Can you hear it rise
Up from the ground
Can't drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound of the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation
We are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking down
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Oooh
Oooh
Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love
This is the sound of a heartbeat
this is the sound of the discontented mouths
of a haunted nation
we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our own collision
we are the voice of breaking down
Down
Down
Down
Let it rise above
Up from the ground
Can't drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound of the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation, we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our condition, we are the voice of breaking down
This is the sound
This is the sound
ENOUGH TO LET ME GO
CAPO 1
Oh, I'm a wandering soul
I'm still walking the line that leads me home
alone, all I know
I still got mountain to climb on my own
(Back to intro, check the tabs)
on my own
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
to let me follow through, to let me fall for you
(Back to intro, check the tabs)
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Back from the dead of winter
back from the dead and all our leaves are dry
you're so beautiful, tonight
back from the dead we went through
back from the dead and both our tongues are tied
you look beautiful tonight
but every seed dies before it grows
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
to let me follow through, to let me fall for you
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Bridge:
breathe it in
and let it go
every breath you take is not yours to own
it's not yours to hold
(Back to intro, check the tabs)
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
to let me follow through, to let me fall for you
(Back to intro, check the tabs)
Do you love me enough to let me go?

Song : Free
Drop
I've got my back against the wall
But I still hear the blue sky call
The chains that hold me back inside
Are the prisons of my mind
Free, come set me free
Down on my knees
I still believe you can save me from me
Come set me free, come set me free
Inside this shell, there's a prison cell
Instrumental : , ,
I try to live the light of day
Why would I do what I hate
But when I try to reach above
I only hurt the ones I love
Free, come set me free
Down on my knees
I still believe you can save me from me
Come set me free, come set me free
Inside this shell, there's a prison cell
Bridge :
There's a hole in the neighborhood
Where the shadows fall
There's a hole in my heart, but my hope
Is not in me at all
I had a dream that my chains were broken
Broken, broken, broken open
Free, come set me free
Down on my knees
I still believe you can save me from me
Come set me free, come set me free
Inside this shell, there's a prison cell
Ending :
Inside this shell, there's a prison cell
Inside this shell, there's a prison cell

They've been turning blood red
Not a doubt in my mind anymore
There's a storm up ahead
Hello hurricane
You're not enough
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
[2x]
You can't silence my love My love
Every thing I have I count as loss
Everything I have is stripped away
Before I started building
I counted up these costs
There's nothing left for you to take away
Bridge
I'm a fighter fighting for control
I'm a fighter fighting for my soul
Everything inside of me surrenders
(Intro: Guitar 1)
You can't silence my love
