 The main riff is an Amaj with a pinky drop to the suspended fourth every now and again.
 It's pretty much the whole song...

 NOTE: The actual verses are almost entirely this A progression, but it lacks depth when
 you're playing it alone on the acoustic. I like to throw around the Fm when it feels
 natural, as below, and palm mute until the chorus:
 When you step  in the room they won't be holding me down
 All these demons  in my head c'mon let's kill 'em with sound
 You see I'm beggin'  that you take me and you never look back
 That's why I'm crying  to a wall hoping that you come out
Hey...I  don't wanna wake up from this
 I cannot afford to forget
 The feeling of your arms, they hold me
 The power of your skin, it's lovely
 You provoke a man to bow down
 I get on my knees and cry out
 "Everything I have is yours now"
 So the time is now
 Don't let me down
 Oh the time is now
 Please don't let me down
 Get higher,  and higher, and  higher
 When my back's  against the wall
 You're the hand  that breaks my fall
 Climb higher, and higher, and  higher
 When my back's  against the wall
 You're the hand  that breaks my fall
 ***Lather, rinse, repeat
