    Em: 0 2 2 0 0 0
    Dm: x 5 7 7 6 x
  • C: x 3 5 5 5 x
     
    There's two little riffs that go before the strumming of
  • Am and Em in the verse so for our purposes i will refer
    to this:
     
  • e|---3-2-1-0-----|
    B|---0-0-0-1-----|
    G|---------2-----|
  • D|---------2-----|
    A|---------0-----|
    E|---------------|
  • ...as riff 1
     
    and this:
  •  
    e|--0-0-0-0-0-0--|
    B|--3/5-3-1-0-0--|
  • G|------------0--|
    D|------------2--|
    A|------------2--|
  • E|------------0--|
    ...as riff 2
     
  • The song starts where wasted time leaves off right after riff 2,
    so it comes in on Em, then plays riff one into Am.
    Listen to the song to get the timing and rhythm right.
  • I don't think the lyrics are totally right but that's not what
    you're here for so hopefully you won't mind.
     
  • Riff 1
    Am
    And when you left this town
  • Riff 2 Em Riff 1
    You had to change your name
    Am
  • You had to change your face
    Riff 2 Em
    To hide away the pain
  • Dm C Em
    But you'll run from heart to heart
    Dm C Em Riff 1
  • Until you come right back to the start
     
    Am
  • You said we weren't safe
    Riff 2 Em Riff 1
    And vanished without a trace
  • Am (strum chord once and let ring)
    It's hard to chase a bird
    Riff 2 Em
  • When you don't have any wings
    Dm C Em
    And you'll fly straight into a dawn
  • Dm C Em
    You'll come back once safely past your part
     
  • (the Em for the next part should be played as x79987)
     
    (Strum each chord and let ring)
  • Dm Em
    You say you're alone
    Dm
  • but my arms are open wide
    Em
    You're looking for something
  • Dm
    That you won't ever find
     
  • Then this starts to play over the chords until Em at
    "I'm beginning to think that it's better that way":
    e|-----------------------------------------------------------12(x12)-15(x12)|
  • B|---------------------------------------------13(x12)-15(x12)--------------|
    G|7(x12)-9(x12)-10(x12)-12(x12)-14(x12)-16(x12)-----------------------------|
    D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  • A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
    E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
     
  • (Start strumming the chords now, instead of letting ring)
    Dm
    Now it's raining so hard
  • Em Dm
    I can't see my own tears
    Em
  • You're giving me reason
    Dm
    To put trust in my fears
  • Em
    Now I'm chasing a ghost
    Dm
  • Cause there ain't no real thing
    Em
    There's only a carcass of
  • Dm
    Where "I love you" should stay
    Em
  • I'm beginning to think
    Em (This Em: 022000)
    That it's better that way

  •  
    And I haven't figured out the rest of the solo so I usually
    just go into riff 2 because that's what the other guitar is doing.
  •  
    Riff 1
    And one day you'll return
  • Riff 2
    As open as a dove
    Riff 1
  • And maybe then you'll ask
    Riff 2
    What happened to our love?
  • PLAY TOO ..
