CAPOED AT 2ND FRET


C G

We can go and walk in the darkness
F C
get relief at each streetlight
G
I don't know how much it would cost us
F Am
probably more than I've spent in my whole life
G F C F
on these silly ideas that waste more time than I had to
Am G F
lose when I woke up this morning
C Am F G# C
seems like I've got so much more to lose now than I ever had before

G C
...Before

"...Before"


C G F C
Little beanie-bean with the calculator keys
G F Am
can he add it all up, make it all make sense to me
G F C
I've got no idea how much more time
F Am G F
I've got left if I can't get my mind right
C Am F G# C
the simplest little melody has got me all tangled up in knots
G C
...I'm tangled up

Chords in this verse are strummed once until the Am at smart... where the Am and G are
loudly twice:

C G
We can go and walk in the morning
F C
We don't need streetlights just a new start
G F Am
Not paralyzed by appearances with big ideas and just way to smart
G F C F
to walk around on the surface when there's an ocean
Am G F
just beneath it's blue-green smile
C Am F G# C
And all the while, nothing stopping me from jumping in and sinking fast
G C
...I'll sing you to sleep first


I still don't really know how to do the solo but here's a little idea of what I do for a start.
PAUSE |slow slide|

|-1-3-5-3\1/3-3---6-5-3-1/3-3-3-3-----8-6-5h6p5--3-/-1-/-0------------|

Then you play the same part as the verse ending...
F / G# C G C And end with last C strummed once after the little C
riff.
