Ben Sinclair (ssusncla@rdg.ac.uk) A# [Verse 1] In a time where the sun descends alone I ran a long long way from home To find a heart that's made out of stone I will try, I just need a little time To get your face right out of my mind To see the world through different eyes... [Chorus] F A# D C Every time I see you oh I try to hide away F G A A# C F But when we meet it seems I can't let go F A# D C A# * C Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower * = With this played over the rhythm between the chords after "flower" A# C e-------------------- B---------9br-------- G-9/10-12-----10-12-- D-------------------- A-------------------- E-------------------- Tell me why, when I scream there's no reply When I reach out there's nothing to find |fast bend| e-------------------- B-------------------- G-12brp10-12b(13)---- D-----------------12- A-------------------- E-------------------- G -- When I sleep I break down and cry... cry...yeah...
