Keeping Me Awake by Tarkio
Standard E Tuning
Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: E Emaj7 A x4
E Emaj7 A
Summer it came, like a light across the highlands
E Emaj7 A
And we laid it down
E Emaj7 A
You wore a dress made of light from the islands
E Emaj7 A
And we sent postcards home
E Emaj7 A x2
In dying light, this was not to be forgotten
As we are chosen few
Into the sea, with a touch as soft as cotton
Beneath this angel moon
Chorus
F#m B
It's been keeping me awake
E Emaj7 A
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#m B
And I'm not so strong
E Emaj7 A
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
F#m B
And the things I threw away...
E Emaj7 A x2
You wrote your name as we lay among the heather
Of what you left behind
Following past, that would lead us both together
And let us lose our minds
Chorus
F#m B
It's been keeping me awake
E Emaj7 A
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#m B
And I'm not so strong
E Emaj7 A
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
F#m B
Or the things I threw away...
E Emaj7 A x2
Summer it fell, and it coursed across the highlands
And so quickly gone
Your faded dress for years now tied away and silent
And as the nights lay low
Chorus
F#m B
It's been keeping me awake
E Emaj7 A
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#m B
And I'm not so strong
E Emaj7 A
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
F#m B
Or the things I threw away...
E Emaj7 A
The things I threw away
E Emaj7 A
The things I threw away
E Emaj7 A
The things I threw away
