tune Transposed: semitones

[Am7]I could barely stand [Dsus4]to hold my head up
[Am7]Thinking I'd be [Dsus4]better off the grid
[D]'Cause I could only [Am7]handle my own heaven
[Dsus4]Yours was on [Am7]another plane to his
[Dsus4]Cherubim and [C]seraphim and lyres
[D]Old Berlin and [Am7]synonyms for tired
[Dsus4]Sinking in the car, [Am7]I'd kick my floor in
[Dsus4]Given all the stars [D]it might be bliss
[D]The pulp from the [Am7]memoir you left this morning
[Dsus4]Framed me in [Am7]an orange, golden tint
[Dsus4]And if only I [D]had bought the tape recorder
[D]Just to hear you [Am7]say those words again
[Dsus4]The way you just surrendered [Am7]made it all the sweeter
[Dsus4]I was yours
[D]I melted then
[D]You dropped it in and [Am7]left it on the side
[Dsus4]The bathing water's [Am7]half of chapter nine
[D]Pa-ra, pa-ra, [Am7]pa-ra, la-ra-ra-ram
[D]Pa-ra, pa-ra, [Am7]pa-ra, la-ra-ra-ram
[Am7]Sistine blisters
[Dsus4]I was cricking [D]my neck out
[D]Trying to see our [Am7]drawings of choirs get born
[Am7]Sixteen, shivers
[Dsus4]I remember my legs [D]shaking in my head
[D]While you were making [Am7]your bed up next door
[Am7]Caffeine rivers
[Dsus4]Your letters, they read [D]themselves in my head
[D]I left them all [Am7]on your doorstep that fall
[Am7]Fifty winters
[Dsus4]My sweater [D]was red
[D]You were growing [Am7]your hair out
[Dsus4]Said you were fed [Am7]up with it short
[Am7]But we're [Dsus4]on to something
[Dsus2/C]On to [Dsus4/E]something now
[Dsus2/E]We're on [Dsus2]to something
[Dsus2/C]On to [Dsus4/E]something now
[Dsus2/E]We're on [Dsus2]to something
[Dsus2/C]On to [Dsus4/E]something now
[Dsus2/B]Bliss redelivered
[Dsus2/C](I thought we had [Dsus2/E]said not to pull)
[Dsus2](At that [Dsus2/C]thread when you)
[Dsus2](Kissed me)
[Dsus2/B](My skin shed)
[Dsus2/C](I had [Dsus2/E]figured instead)
[Dsus2](We'd begin [Dsus2/C]to accept that)
[Dsus2/E]We're on [Dsus2]to something
[Dsus2/C]On to [Dsus4/E]something now

auto_awesome

Caffeine Rivers by Hailaker is played in the key of D. Arranged in the natural sounding key of D in standard guitar tuning without a capo, 'Caffeine Rivers' by Hailaker utilizes direct fretboard shapes to project full open-string acoustic warmth and resonance throughout every section. The song relies exclusively on open cowboy chords (Am7, Dsus4, D, C, Dsus2/C, Dsus4/E, Dsus2/E, Dsus2, Dsus2/B), letting beginners concentrate on tone clarity, ringing string resonance, and sustain without encountering demanding barre finger fatigue. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between Am7 and Dsus4: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
