Tabbed by Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder)

This is the chords and lyrics for 'In Your Wake' by Matt Skiba off his split

with Kevin Seconds. It's a great song and quite easy to play. I advise

listening to it carefully a few times before you learn it so the rhythm will

come naturally to you. Enjoy :).

Chords used:

These are named relative to standard tuning, but since this song is half a step

down, they will all be a semi-tone down pitch wise, but lets just go by their

standard tuning names.

Verse 1:

And so it seems

you were to be king for a day

Don't let your dreams

of blood hunger in the way

You know these streets,

they lay there patiently

Awaiting your fall, like a phone call

Verse 2:

And I see

you made all the right decisions

I believe

your head stone received the wrong inscription

Didn't read anything about how much we miss you at all

So with a broken stick, in dirt we scrawled

Pre-chorus:

Here lies

our dreams come true

Here lies Xs for eyes on me and you

Chorus:

Want you know, I hope you got all you wanted

Want you to know that I took all I could take

It's been so hard to see and breathe through

All the smoke left in your wake

In your wake

Verse 3:

Now I've seen

you made all the right decisions

I believe your head stone received the wrong inscription

Didn't read anything about how much we miss you at all

With a broken stick, in dirt we scrawled

Pre-chorus:

Here lies

our dreams come true

Here lies Xs for eyes on me and you

Chorus:

Want you know, I hope you got all you wanted

Want you to know that I took all I could take

It's been so hard to see and breathe through

All the smoke left in your wake

Outro:

In your wake

In your wake

In your wake
