Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

Chords by: PianoRocker(S. Hondeveld)

Intro: 

A
Dsus2 | Dsus4 | Dsus2 | Dsus4
Aadd9/C# | A/C# | Aadd9/C# | A/C#
Dsus2 | Dsus4 | Dsus2 | Dsus4
Aadd9/C# | A/C# | A9/C# | A/C#



   Dsus2  Dsus4	       Dsus2     Dsus4
I turn the music  up,  I got my records  on
   Aadd9/C#  A/C#	     Aadd9/C#     A/C#
I shut the world  outside until the  lights come  on
  Dsus2    Dsus4	       Dsus2	  Dsus4
Maybe the streets  alright, Maybe the  trees are  gone
  Aadd9/C#    A/C#	    Aadd9/C#   A/C#
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite  song

    Dsus2     Dsus	     Dsus2    Dsus
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
     Aadd9/C#  A/C#	        Aadd9/C#  A/C#
Until monday    morning feels another     life
   F#m7sus4  F#m7
I turn the music     up
 F#m7sus4  F#m7
I'm on a roll this time
   D	     Dsus4  D	     Dsus4
And heaven is in    sight


A - Dsus2   X8


   Dsus2
I turn the music up, I got my records on
         Aadd9/C#
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
      Dsus2
Don't want to see another generation drop
          Aadd9/C#
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

   Dsus2
Maybe I'm  in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
          Aadd9/C#
Maybe I'm  in the gap between the two trapezes
      F#m7
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
 D	     Dsus4   D	       Dsus4
Cathedrals in my     heart

     Dadd9    D    Dadd9   D	    Asus4/C#    A/C#    Asus4/C#    A/C#
As we saw                   oh this light 	
F#m7sus4   F#m7		F#m7sus4   F#m7
I swear you	         emerge blinking   into
  Dsus2
To tell me it's alright

     Dadd9    D    Dadd9   D	    Asus4/C#    A/C#    Asus4/C#    
As we soar                  walls                                   
 A/C#		 F#m7sus4    F#m7   F#m7sus4    
every siren is a symph	-  -  -  -  ony
   F#m7	   Dsus2
And every tear's a waterfall
	A
Is a waterfall 
   Dsus2
Oh
	A
Is a waterfall 
         Dsus2
Oh oh oh
	    A
Is a is a waterfall
           Dsus2
Every tear
	A
Is a waterfall
         Dsus2
Oh oh oh 

	Eadd9		  D
So you can hurt	      hurt me bad
	     C#m(maj7)    Dsus2		A
But still I'll raise          	       the flag
Dsus2	   A	  Dsus2
Oh
 	 A        Dsus2
It Was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
 A        Dsus2
A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall

This Please! The actual chords that are in the studio version that starts when Chris sings "And all the kids they dance..." Thanks!! :D

 

Well it's actually played by Will.

 

Saw some guy use a Capo on the 2nd fret, and I used chords G (320033}, Cadd9 (x32033}, and Em7 (022033). Sounds about right

 

Sounds good, right. But It's more like:

Cadd9, G, Em7, Cadd9 to me.

I think I get some chris chords, i was listening the song and think its A-D-F#m like chris does, A on the 5th fret D on the 10th fret and the F#m on the 2nd fret, and i guess an E what do you think? the problem is: on the recording it sound a different tunning, i cant find it, and i think its on the last 2 strings E and B strings

it's in a different tuning, check the video of them warming up back stage with every teardrop (notice chris' hands)

that's a pretty accurate tuning, but i'm not sure about the shapes. I tried matching what chris appears to being doing live, it's more or less sliding up & down the frets while keeping a certain shape.
