Forced Doors On The Fourteenth Floor Uke tab by VersaEmerge

VERSE 1:

          D5
Abandon me!
            Bb5                           F5         D5          
I was never one to hold out well under pressure.
D5
And I hope you can find me.
       Bb5                       F5      G5      D5
I've gotta find myself before I can move on this time.

F5                   G5                 A5       
Can we penetrate the barricades created by me?           
F5                 G5                    A5             C5                                      
We know our mouths aren't locked through forced doors...

 
CHORUS:

D5                   F5                 Bb5
  And I can feel the tension in your words,
(Bb5)
Screaming for me
   G5
To understand what you've been thinking.
D5                F5
  There's a cloud casting o'er your head.
Bb5
Can't see anything clear;

G5
You're only seeing who you were.

VERSE 2:

Bb5           C5
   Too far to reach I'll say...
D5             F5
  She's on the tips of my fingers.
Bb5
  Don't let her fall!
C5                    D5
  There will be no re-turn...

[palm-muted]

F5
The burdened act which brought
                       D5
Us to a halt will some-day make us stronger!

CHORUS:
 
D5                 F5                Bb5
And I can feel the tension in your words,
(Bb5)
Screaming for me
   G5
To understand what you've been thinking.

D5              F5
There's a cloud casting o'er your head.

Bb5
Can't see anything clear;
G5
You're only seeing who you were.


VERSE 3:

Bb5
Clouds casting over your head;
C5                            F5
Self portraits of what you once were...
        G5
You once were...

Bb5
Clouds casting over your head;
C5                            F5
Self-portraits of what you once were...
           G5/C5
You once were!

D5                   F5  D5 C5    
  She will break and shatter.
D5                               D5-E5-F5
There will be no return.

 
G5

 
F5
Hold on tight.

 
BRIDGE:

Let's stop everything;
Exchange all that we know...                                      D5x8
It's much better without having gravity holding you down from the air.

Stand up for what you once were. [This is my time]

Bb5                  E5              D5
Our time to make the changes that we want to make real.

D5
Take action, action!

Stand up for what you once were.
