When I was a little child
Em                                       G
All my dreams were running wild

I had the whole world at my feet

Was never hurt, I let my actions speak

Pre Chorus
      Am          Em                  G                        D
I never doubted that I would find it in myself to be

Now I'm gonna shout it

Let the whole world sing it along with me

You can be who you wanna be

So don’t stop ever believing, keep on dreaming

Got to be strong and take the fall

Hold on to the feeling, the path we're leaving

This is your chance to take it all

In the moment it all sounds
Em                                      G
Tears of joy will drown the crowd

This is how it feels to live and laugh

Enjoy! It's basically the same 4 chords throughout the whole song in slightly different order. Great melodies though. You can check out their official page at www.thereason4.com

Sus chords

A great way to make your basic major chords a little more interesting is to change them into a sus chord. Sus stands for suspended, of which there are 2 types, sus2 and sus4.

Lets have a look at an example from the key of C major.

C major scale

C D E F G A B C
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

To play a C major chord, we take the 1st 3rd and 5th notes from the scale. e.g. C, E, G. Sus stands for suspended. If we play a Csus2 chord, it means we replace the 3rd note (E in this case) with the 2nd note (D). Our Csus2 ends up being C, D, G.

Sus4 chords are very similar. You've guessed it! Instead of replacing the E with a D, we now replace it with an F (the 4th note from the scale).

Here's a tab with some easy sus chords.

E|--0-----0-----0-----3-----
B|--0-----3-----3-----3-----
G|--2-----2-----2-----2-----
D|--2-----2-----0-----0-----
