Verse Riff 1
I woke up from a dream I could’ve sworn I heard the phone
Verse Riff 2 A/D
Fan’s blowing in the corner like it does when she’s at home
Verse Riff 1
Familiar desperate feeling always cold and dark inside
Verse Riff 2 A/D
I’ll probably sit here hoping soon that she’ll be by my side.

Yeah, I saw her smile that chased the blues away,
Her warmth will make it all okay
‘cause [A/D]it’s one to go and one to stay,
I guess it has to be that way
I found my kindred spirit, now she’s with me as I sleep
A/D B Intro riff
and it’s in her hands, up to her where she’ll put my soul to keep.

Intro riff

Riff 1
Out there in the hard world trying to blend into the day
Riff 2 A/D
A thousand different faces stare I try to look away well
Riff 1
I can feel her move within me and her voice is in my head
Riff 2 A/D
and with that in mind I seem to find a way back home again

Yeah, I saw her smile that chased the blues away,
Her warmth will make it all okay
‘cause i[A/D]t’s one to go and one to stay,
I guess it has to be that way
I found my kindred spirit, now she’s with me as I sleep
A/D B Intro riff
and it’s in her hands, up to her where she’ll put my soul to keep.

Intro Riff
my soul to keep yeah

Intro Riff
soul to keep yeah

Intro Riff A
Soul to keep my soul to keep

In my opinion, that’s a good place to end it. Matt would kind of improvise the end and
strumming all the verse notes and singing oh. I thought it was a little dragged out,
if you want to, strum the verse chords and start singing oh. Finally, I’d like to thank
lovely girlfriend for introducing me to alk3 and Matt Skiba.

In Your Wake – Matt Skiba – Matt Skiba/Kevin Seconds Split
D# Standard/Half a step down (D#G#C#F#A#D#)
Tabbed by Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the chords and lyrics for ‘In Your Wake’ by Matt Skiba off his split
with Kevin Seconds. It’s a great song and quite easy to play. I advise
listening to it carefully a few times before you learn it so the rhythm will
come naturally to you. Enjoy :).

Play Intro Riff x2

And so it seems
you were to be king for a day
Don’t let your dreams
of blood hunger in the way
You know these streets,
they lay there patiently
Awaiting your fall,[G#/E5] like a phone call
And I see
you made all the right decisions
I believe
your head stone received the wrong inscription
Didn’t read anything about how much we miss you at all
[G#/E5] So with a broken stick, in dirt we scrawled

Here lies
our dreams come true
Here lies Xs for eyes on me and you

Want you know, I hope you got all you wanted
Want you to know that I took all I could take
It’s been so hard to see and breathe through
All the smoke left in your wake
In your wake

Now I’ve seen
you made all the right decisions
I believe your head stone received the wrong inscription
Didn’t read anything about how much we miss you at all
[G#/E5] With a broken stick, in dirt we scrawled

Here lies
our dreams come true
Here lies Xs for eyes on me and you

Want you know, I hope you got all you wanted
Want you to know that I took all I could take
It’s been so hard to see and breathe through
All the smoke left in your wake
In your wake
In your wake
In your wake

End on a final E5 here.
