Biography:
Altadore is an indie rock project hailing from Portland, OR. Fronted by singer-songwriter David Katz, ambient, reverb-slicked guitars are blended with contemplative lyrics. Altadore's first single, "Moments", has already shown great success by obtaining airplay from Portland's alternative radio station, 94.7fm. In the band's March '13 feature, Alternative Press Magazine suggests that fans of The National and Arcade Fire will indulge in the dynamic and ethereal sounds of Altadore. The debut album, Golden Hills, is out now on all digital outlets.

If Only For You
By Altadore - Opal, Hymn & Luna
Capo 2nd
[Intro]
Em - Bm - F#m - Em - D - A7 - Em (x3)
[Verse 1]
Em Bm F#m Em D A7 Em
I was looking through the fog of an early morning trying to keep you
Em Bm F#m Em D A7 Em
Holding you flowers to last, I was cast in a feeling trying to hold you
D A7 Em
But you were an ocean, love, I couldn’t hold you
[Chorus]
G D A Em
But I didn’t lose it, I kept it together, if only for you
G D A Em
I’m stuck on the freeway, I’m dust in the doorway, if only for you
G D A Em
I’m hung on a heartache, I’m mad at the mistakes, if only for you
G D A
But I didn’t know that I would lose you so soon
Em - Bm - F#m - Em - D - A7 - Em (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em Bm F#m Em D A7 Em
I was looking for the light in a midnight hurry trying to keep you
Em Bm F#m Em D A7 Em
Holding your towers of glass, I was cracks in the ceiling trying to hold you
D A7 Em
But you were an ocean, love, I couldn’t hold you
[Chorus 2]
G D A Em
But I didn’t lose it, I kept it together, if only for you
G D A Em
I’m stuck on the freeway, I’m dust in the doorway, if only for you
G D A Em
I’m hung on a heartache, I’m mad at the mistakes, if only for you
G D A
But I didn’t know that I would lose you so soon
[Bridge]
Bm A G
It only took a trip to the coast
Bm A G
To have a week alone at most
D A
But I didn’t figure it out
Em
I didn’t overcome what I’ve been thinking about
D A Em A7
I’m in love with someone who doesn’t want me around
[Chorus 3]
G D A Em
But I didn’t lose it, I kept it together, if only for you
G D A Em
I’m stuck on the freeway, I’m dust in the doorway, if only for you
G D A Em
I’m hung on a heartache, I’m mad at the mistakes, if only for you
G D A
But I didn’t know that I would lose you so soon
