Learn Meant To Live

Switchfoot: Live – EP (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 Awhile back I posted On Fire by Switchfoot (love the slow worshipful song) but recently I was reminded of another popular song, Meant To Live. It has tons of power chords, you know where you omit the third of the chord and just play the root and fifth. This song was written in 2003 by Jonathan Foreman and Tim Foreman. My guy students really like this one, especially for the Junior High and High School Kids.

Play this piece like a rock song in the Key of D with 4/4 time signature.

                 C                       G
And everything inside screams for second life   yeah

~OUTRO CHORUS~
