Reinventing Your Exit (Acoustic)
Underoath
Underoath never released this song as an acoustic version, but Aaron has
played it acoustic live before, so this is based off of that version (found
here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnaX0CRVkyg). I've made a few minor
changes I've made that I think make it sound better. (Namely, changing the
intro from just strumming Am9 for 4 bars into a fingerpicked progression that
lasts 8 bars and sounds very nice.)
The song can be played in Drop D or standard, but Aaron plays it in Drop D,
and that's by far the easier way to play of the two. That being said, I'm
writing out the chords in Drop D. So if you want to play it in standard, you
can figure out how to do an F6sus2 yourself, because my hands can't contort
like that.

In the verses, when you see (Cmaj7), you can either play that chord or
continue playing Am9. Either way sounds fine. Chords followed by an
asterisk* are fingerpicked.

Am9 (Cmaj7)
12th and Hide on a Sunday
F6sus2 G6sus4
Feeling like we're gold
Am9 (Cmaj7) F6sus2 G6sus4
And we're nothing short of invincible
Am9 Cmaj7 F6sus2 G6sus4
Invincible
Am9 Cmaj7 F6sus2 G6sus4
Invincible
Am9
It starts again
(Cmaj7)
Can you feel it?
F6sus2 G6sus4
It takes your breath away
Am9 (Cmaj7) F6sus2
Stop saying that we're invincible
G6sus4
It's round and round
Am9 F6sus2 G6sus4 Em
You're uninviting, unrewarding
Am9 F6sus2
And I'm misinforming you
G6sus4 Em
Misinforming you
F6sus2 Am9
We all want to be
G6sus4
We want to be somebody
Fsus2 Am9 G6sus4
Right now we're just looking for the exit

Am9 Cmaj7 F6sus2 G6sus4
This is the way I would have done things
Am9 Cmaj7
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
F6sus2 G6sus4
You've got me up against your wall

Am9 (Cmaj7)
It's you and me on a Monday
F6sus2 G6sus4
The lies that we told
Am9 (Cmaj7) F6sus2 G6sus4
This is where we both go numb now
Am9 F6sus2 G6sus4
You broke my heart again this time
Em Am9 F6sus2
You're fading now, you crossed the line
G6sus4 Em
You crossed the line

We all want to be,

We want to be somebody

F6sus2 G6sus4
You've got me up against your wall
Am9 Cmaj7 F6sus2 G6sus4
This is the way I would have done things
Am9 Cmaj7
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
F6sus2 G6sus4
You've got me up against your wall

Reaching out for a hand that's not there
Am9 Am9 F6sus2 G6sus4
But you're not there and I'm not...
