Standard (EADGBE)
he plays , , , , , , , , , , in the intro, but
for simplicity, I'll write the intro and verse as "E, B, A"
if you listen to the song, you can hear where he adds the variations, but it
would just clutter it up if I wrote it out.
Intro
, , x4
Hey, another numbing light of early morning
another pile of half-read books
nice and safe in my serene surroundings
evil smiles and empty looks
why justify why you can think at all?
i guess i'm far too safe
cry, falsify this turmoil of emotion
and you'll feel no pain, but
i'm pretty sure the sun will rise and
give me the strength to shield my eyes
from all the lights and all the lies of compromise
and i always try to understand
but looking back, it's hard to
know that you were bought and sold
for a box filled full of spanish gold
he plays the intro 4 more times, but slows down throughout, and bend the accent notes.
listen to the song and it makes sense. then from this point until the '*',
just strum the chord once and let it ring. when you get to the '*',
start playing the intro/ verse riff again
i sifted through some archives yesterday
met you in a photograph
i saw your face and simply had to look away
i know that that would make you laugh
i'm pretty sure the sun will rise and
give me the strength to shield my eyes
from all the lights and all the lies of compromise
and is this a faded memory or
did i see you crawling
out towards the open sea so sad and free
without me
oh, without me x3
i bid farewell to the faded memory
then play around with the E and B for the end
