Author/Artist: Foo Fighters
Title: Everlong (acoustic)
Album: The Colour And The Shape
Transcribed by: Ken C. (thepeoplesuck@hotmail.com)
This is one of the best Foo Fighters song ever. I think the acoustic
is better than the original version. It's in Drop D tuning.
I've divided it into seven parts. The progression will be explained later.
Lyrics are also included. Have fun.

*Lyrics*
(verse)
Hello, I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang
Come down and
Waste away with me
Down with me
Slow how you
Wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
(bridge)
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
(chorus)
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
(second chorus)
Only thing I'll ever ask of you
Gotta promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
(verse)
Breathe out, so
I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now, I
Know you've always been
And out of your head, out of my head I sang
(bridge)
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
(chorus)
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
(second chorus)
Only thing I'll ever ask of you
Gotta promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
(second bridge)
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
(chorus)
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
Only thing I'll ever ask of you
(second chorus)
Gotta promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
