Hanging By A Moment

Words & Music:

Jason Wade (Lifehouse)

 

This is fully transcribed in the October 2001 issue of Guitar World. The original guitars play in the key of D with Drop D Tuning ½ step down.  (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).  This version by UnicornRulez in E [capo 2] is easier.  I've put the original chords in parentheses.

 

E(D5)

Desperate for changing, starving for truth.

I'm closer to where I started; I'm chasing after you.

 

CHORUS 1:

                 C#m(Bm)     (Asus4) E(D)

I'm falling even more in love with-- you.

(Dsus2)       C#m(Bm)      (Asus4)  E(D)

Letting go of all I've held on------to.

I'm standing here until you make me move.

I'm hanging by a moment here with you.

 

Forgetting all I'm lacking; completely incomplete.

I'll take your invitation, you take all of me, now.

 

CHORUS 2:  [new chords in original version + new words]

                 C#m(B5)     (A5)  E(D5)

I'm falling even more in love with you.

Letting go of all I've held on to.

I'm standing here until you make me move.

I'm hanging by a moment here with you.

I'm living for the only thing I know.

I'm running and I question where to go.

And I don't know what I'm tapping into.

Just hanging by a moment here with you.

 

BRIDGE:

                        A(G5)                         E(D5)

There's nothing else to lose, there's nothing else to find.

                       A(G5)                    C#m(B5)

There's nothing in the world that can change my mind.

[n.c.]           [A..B..C#m](G5  A5  E5)

There is nothing else.  [3x - last time E5 is an Em]

 

VERSE 1 REPRISE:

 

CHORUS 2:

 

[n.c.]           C#m(B5)  (A5)  E(D5)

Just hanging by a moment.

Hanging by a moment.

Hanging by a moment.

Hanging by a moment here with you.
