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
