The Holy Shangri-la Tabulatur von Foster The People

[Intro]
Dm Am A7
Dm  Em Am A7
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
All of my life, all of my life, all of my life
Em              Am                 A7
  I've lived in some kind of dream
           Dm
And when I open my eyes, open my eyes, open my eyes
  Em          Am               A7
I see inter-dimensional beings
         Dm                                          Em
And it's alright, it's alright, the tension with the good times
     Am      A7
It's alright
                    Dm                                             Em
Yeah, and when it's midnight, we're alright, the fever breaks with sunlight
    Am                       A7
And washes all our shadows away, hey, hey, hey
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Close your eyes
     Em
Like nobody sees us, nobody sees us
Fm
Oh, my love
      Bb
We'll bе together
 
 
[Chorus]
        Dm
Through hard times
                                      Em           Am
It's okay to rеly on something you're needin' to believe in
       A7
To get through to the other side
              Dm
'Cause in the good times, we forget
                        Em                   Am
We gotta hold on to the hope that we first believed in
      A7                          Dm
So we never get swept away-ay-ay-ay
 
 
[Verse 2]
                                      Am
I'm takin' a ride to the holy Shangri-La
             A7
It's hard to know what is real
    Dm
But all of my life, all of my life, all of my life
Em              Am               A7
  I've tried my best not to feel
Dm                              Em       Am
Ooh, the only way to get out is if we go through it all
         A7
Yeah, go through it all
       Dm              Em            Am
Uh-uh, ooh, so take my hand into the light
                                 A7
I know it's easier to close your eyes, hey, hey, hey
 
 
[Bridge]
    D                Dm
The time has come to say a prayer
   A              Gdim
An astral song, a prophet's glare
    Fmaj7                     Dm
The white horse breathes, but don't despair
         A7                     A
When the death knell rings, the time is near
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           Dm                             Em
So come in close to my heart like there's nobody else
              Fm                       Bb
We'll step in time and look into eternity
 
 
[Chorus]
        Dm
Through hard times
                                      Em           Am
It's okay to rеly on something you're needin' to believe in
       A7
To get through to the other side
              Dm
'Cause in the good times, we forget
                        Em                   Am
We gotta hold on to the hope that we first believed in
      A7
So we never get swept away-ay-ay-ay
