Gotta Knock a Little Harder

(início)

Intro 4x: G  A7  F  C/G  G  Gsus4  G
G
Happiness is just a word to me,
        A#sus9                      F
And it might have meant a thing or two
                 C Csus4 C
if I'd known the difference.
G
Emptiness, a lonely parody,
       A#sus9                 F
And my life, another smokin' gun
                C Csus4 C
A sign of my indifference.
Eb
Always keepin' safe inside
             F
Where no one ever had a chance
                 G Gsus4 G
To penetrate or break in.
Eb
Let me tell you some have tried,
       F
but I slam the door so tight
                       G Gsus4 G
That they could never get in.
G
Kept my cool under lock and key
      A#sus9
And I never shed a tear
  F                   C Csus4 C
Another sign of my condition.
G
Fear of love or bitter vanity
     A#sus9
That kept on the run
    F                        C Csus4 C
The main of events at my confession.
Eb
I kept a chain upon my door
            F
That would shake the shame of Cain
                 G Gsus4 G
into a blind submission.
Eb
The burning ghost without a name
            F
Was still calling all the same
                   G
But I just wouldn't listen.
G
The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
A7
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
F             C/G           G Gsus4 G
I was crawlin' into the fire
G
The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
A7
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
F            C/G          G Gsus4 G
I kept fallin' into the fire
Solo: G  A7  F  C/G  G  Gsus4  G (2x)

A
Suddenly it occurred to me
    Csus9                    G
The reason for the run and hide
               D Dsus4 D
Had totaled my existence
A
Everything left on the other side
      Csus9                     G
Could never be much worse that this
                   D Dsus4 D
But could I go the distance
F
  I faced the door and all my shame
        G
Tearin' off each piece of chain
             A Asus4 A
Until they were broken
F
But no matter how I tried
          G
The other side was locked so tight
                   A Asus4 A
The door it wouldn't open
A
Gave it all that I got
And started to knock
    B7
Shouted for someone
To open the lock
       G    D                 A Asus4 A
I just gotta get through the door
A
And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
     B7
The hotter I got
The harder I'd knock
       G    D                   A Asus4 A
I just gotta break through the door
                      A
Gotta knock a little harder
                      B7
Gotta knock a little harder
                      G     D
Gotta knock a little harder
                    A Asus4 A
Break through the door
