     ^ (hammer on)


Notes:  1) The D* chord is questionable.
        2) C1 is a hammer on 3rd fret, fifth string, and C2 is a hammer
           on 2nd fret, same string.

Words:

1:

Am                          D  G/D  D   G/D  Am
I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche  Hmmmmmm
Am                            D  G/D  D   G/D  Am
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche   Hmmmmmmmm
           A#          G     C1-C2    D
But I will raise up my voice into the void
         A#      Em         Am
You have left me nowhere to go

2:

I love you so much and it's so bizzare
A mystery that goes on and on and on
It is the best thing and the very most hard
And we don't get along
After countless appeals, we keep spinning our wheels
On this mountain of new fallen snow
So I let go the catch and we're over the edge
You have left me nowhere to go

I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche

       (guitar interlude: Am D G/D D G/D Am)

3:

Sometimes you make me loose my will to live
And just become a beacon for your soul
But the past is stronger than my will to forgive
Forgive you or myself, I don't know

I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche  Hmmmmmm
Tumblin' and fallin' down the avalanche Hmmmmmmmm

So be quiet tonight, be sure to step lightly
On this mountain of new fallen snow
But I will raise up my voice into the void
You have left me nowhere to go

I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche  Hmmmmmm

(Guitar Ending:)  heavy strumming on D/E chord,
                  then single slow strum on D* chord
