Shinedown If You Only Knew Lyrics

Title: If You Only Knew
This is one of my favorite songs from SD's new album (yay preorder!) - must
be the sappy romantic in me. This is also the first song I've ever tried
to tab in any form, so go easy on me. ;)
This is the acoustic guitar only; electric is basically power (fifth) chords
of the same names.
A note on the verse riff: The first Am is actually Asus2 with some hammer
ons to Am on the open B string. Listen to the song and you'll understand
what I'm talking about.
Verse:
If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating
Heart before I lose you
Prechorus:
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
I swear I've lived and learned
Chorus:
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still
believe in is you, if you only knew
Solo rhythm is the same as the verse. Listen to the song for strum patterns. Enjoy!
-Steve
