Biography:

Switchfoot is a Grammy-winning alternative rock band from San Diego, California, United States. The band was formed in 1996 with the brothers Jon Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after. Eventually the band evolved to what it is today with the addition of members Jerome Fontamillas (key/guitar/electronics - formerly of Mortal and Fold Zandura) and Drew Shirley (guitar - formerly of All Together Separate).

Note: - I recommend playing the riffs during the verse, but have
provided chords.
- The chords in the verse are simplifications, and will thus
not match the song/riffs. Use the riffs if you can.
- Alternative riff is generally identical, apart from missing
notes in the BbM7 and Dm7 to make it easier to play.
- For those interested the verse/riff chords are Dm7/C, BbM7,
Gadd11/B and Dm/G. Albeit with slight variations or omissions.
