Notes: The other tab of this song was quite good, but not exactly how Mat Kearney plays it.
I've been studying the patterns and style of Mat Kearney for a while now. After seeing
him play live, watching videos of him playing live, and slowing down the studio recording
of this song, I can confirm that this is how he plays the song.
Also, Mat Kearney makes a very quick switch to a G5
before jumping into the Chorus. You have to listen closely.

(He mixes up a chord in the bridge though, as you can see)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 1:
You're watching everything you ever held on to slip away from you
All you're running from well it's catching up to you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prechorus 1:
Got you looking for a lifeline
Swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the daylight
To bring you home
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus 1:
The world is too big to never ask why
The answers don't fall straight out of the sky
I'm fighting to live and feel alive
But I can't feel a thing without you by my side
Send me out a lifeline
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interlude 1:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 2: (Same Chord Progression as Verse 1)
You're watching everyone you ever belonged to
Walk away from you
Maybe all along you've been running from the truth
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-Chorus 2: (Same Chord Progression as Pre-Chorus 1)
Got you looking for a lifeline
You're swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the daylight
To bring you home
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus 2: (Same Chord Progression as Chorus 1)
The world is too big to never ask why
The answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
I’m fighting to live and feel alive
But I can’t feel a thing without you by my side
Oh, send me out a lifeline
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interlude 2:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bridge:
There’s nothing I would change, I’d give it all away
for you again and again and over again
Everything I own is in your control
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-Chorus 3: (Same Chord Progression as Pre-Chorus 1,2)
I'm looking for a lifeline
Swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the daylight
To bring me home
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus 3: (Same Chord Progression as Chorus 1,2 but extended)
The world is too big to never ask why
The answers don't fall straight out of the sky
I'm fighting to live and feel alive
But I can't feel a thing without you by my side
Oh, send me out a lifeline
Won't you send me out a lifeline
Send me out a lifeline
