Capo 1
Varse 1:
I was wCalking, was living
My mGelody was acapAella
Theres a bCeat I was missing
No tGune, or a scale, I could plAay
The sCound in the distance
No Gorchestra playing togAether
Like a bCoat out to sea,
The sGilence was too deafenAing!
Pre-Chorus:
So cCome and revive me
I cAmant feel my heartbeat
JCust me surviving alAone
Chorus:
Before yCou,G  
My whole life was acapAella!

The Gonly song to sAing
Verse 2:
EverythCing was the same
One cGolor was just like the Aothers
An asseCmbly routine
My mGemories were all black and whAite
Till I stCopped over-thinking
DecGided to draw back the cAurtains
And I cleCared all the cobwebs
And bGegan to let in the lAight
Pre-Chorus:
So cCome and revive me
I cAmant feel my heartbeat
JCust me surviving alAone
Chorus:

BAmass and guitar lead
StCuck on the notes you plAay
My hCeart that you play on
RAmed like a crayon

Before yCou,G  
My whole life was acapAella!
Now a sCymphony's
The Gonly song to sAing
Before yCou,G

Capo 1

Varse 1:

I was walking, was living

G A

My melody was acapella

Theres a beat I was missing

G A

No tune, or a scale, I could play

The sound in the distance

G A

No orchestra playing together

Like a boat out to sea,

G A

The silence was too deafening!

Pre-Chorus:

So come and revive me

I cant feel my heartbeat

C A

Just me surviving alone

Chorus:

C G

Before you,

My whole life was acapella!

Now a symphony's

G A

The only song to sing

C G

Before you,

My whole life was acapella!

Now a symphony's

G A

The only song to sing

Verse 2:

Everything was the same

G A

One color was just like the others

An assembly routine

G A

My memories were all black and white

Till I stopped over-thinking

G A

Decided to draw back the curtains

And I cleared all the cobwebs

G A

And began to let in the light

Pre-Chorus:

So come and revive me

I cant feel my heartbeat

C A

Just me surviving alone

Chorus:

C G

Before you,

My whole life was acapella!

Now a symphony's

G A

The only song to sing

C G

Before you,

My whole life was acapella!

Now a symphony's

G A

The only song to sing

Bridge:

You are the drum in my heart beat

Bass and guitar lead

C A

Stuck on the notes you play

My heart that you play on

Red like a crayon

C A

I cant walk away

Chorus:

C G

Before you,

My whole life was acapella!

Now a symphony's

G A

The only song to sing

C G

Before you,

My whole life was acapella!

Now a symphony's

G A

The only song to sing
