Capo 2
Obs. dette ble gjort i en fei.

A* og G* er en simpel slide med E-akkorden, slik:
G* = 055400
A* = 077600

Intro:

e----------strum--strum---5---3---2----0--2--3------
B---------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------7-7-5-5-4-4-2--4--5-------
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------





[D]I'll bury my [G]downcast hours in transparent ink,
[D]tie myself to the [G]mast and wait here for the ship to sink
[Em]though I know I've set [G]sail on a [A]wishing [G]well

[D]the daylight [G]is dimming out slowly with every breath I take
gasps of air become roaring rivers keeping me awake
[Em]it gives me no [Bm]time to [A]think things [G]through
[Em]I know words al[Bm]ways com[A]e before you [G]do


Chorus (essentially same as intro)
      A                    Bm            (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
but I can't find no poetry left in these lines
          A                    Bm            (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
I've been trying too hard, too long, too many times

Bridge:
[D] [A] [G]
[D] [A] [G]

is this what a biochemist would call happiness?
is it part of some unmade promise I thought I could forget?
[Em]is it time that I [Bm]let some [A]air come [Em]through?
[Em]for now strangelin[Bm]g love is[A] all I can[Em] do


Chorus:

yeah, I know you have mountains of poems in mind
all explaining how all wounds will heal given time

[Bm]but these days are no longer my time to [E]spill
and I [G]know that by [A]waiting, I'll make them stand [E]still

Bridge: (listen to song)
[A] [F]
[A] [F] [C]
[A] [F] [Bbm] [F] [C] [A]


I kept it as close as I could through those winter nights
but the ropes only tighten round me as I try to fight
[Em]there's no worth throwing [Bm]stone in a [A]wishing [Em]well
now I'm out of black ink and true tales to tell

Chorus:
and I know it's all poetry, know they're just lies
but I'll still scavenge on what I find inbetween those lines
[Bm]I'll pretend there was happiness, fake t[E]o have felt pain
just t[G]o feel there'[A]s a reason to read it again[E]



Takk førr mæ!
