      G                 C
Well you send my life a whirling
                     G
Darling when you're twirling
       D
On the floor
    G                C
And who cares about tomorrow?
             G
What more is tomorrow?
             D
Than another day.

 


Em       C        G
When you swept me away
Em       C        G
Yeah you swept me away
     G      C

G                    C
I see the end of the rainbow
                    G
But what more is a rainbow
                   D
Than colors out of reach
G                      C
If you come down to my window
                    G
And I climb out my window
                      D
Then we'll get out of reach
 



Em        C        G
Then  you swept me away
Em       C       G
Yeah you swept me away

 

    G
You said
                 C 
with such honest feeling
                           G
But what'd you really mean when
                        D
 you said that I'm your man
    G
Well how 
                  C
my darling can it be
                    G
When you have never seen me
                    D
And you never will again
 



Em       C        G
That you swept me away
Em       C        G
Yeah you swept me away
 



     G
Well life 
                  C
is ever changing but I
                  G
can always find a constant
                      D
And a comfort in your love
     G
With your 
                 C
heart my soul is bound
                              G
And as we dance I surely know that
                            D
Some kind of heaven will be found
 

 


    G                  C
And you send my life a whirling
                    G
Darling with you're twirling
       D
On the floor
    G               C
And who cares about tomorrow?

Girl, what more is tomorrow?

PS:  This might seem weird since so few words are sang over so many chords,
so just listen to the song its very easy (and beautiful).  The chords will
not be over the lyrics in the right spot.

Elegant and soft
G   G/f#   Em    Em/B     C
Feminine as you ought
G   G/f#   Em    Em/B     C
One with earth and one with God
G   G/f#   Em    Em/B     C
Won't you please forgive me?

Play the chord progression twice as a break
G   G/f#   Em    Em/B     C
As the daylight sinks
G   G/f#   Em    Em/B     C
As I fail to stop and think
G   G/f#   Em    Em/B     C
Once I've cursed the things I've done
G   G/f#   Em    Em/B     C
Won't you please forgive me?
G   G/f#   Em    Em/B     C
Won't you please forgive me?

Sleep well when the night time falls

Wait till morning when I call

Don't believe the bad you saw

Won't you please forgive them

Tenderness and grace

How you've come to this place

However dangerous or safe

I'll find within you

4. At The Beach
   Tuning: EADGBE 
Tabbed By: Skeptopotamus


Intro: B C F# G

B  C                                           F#  G
I know that you're smiling, baby, I don't even need to see your face
Sunset at the shoreline, we are laughing, breaking up, just like the waves
Are you feeling, feeling, feeling like I'm, feeling like I'm
Floating, floating, up above that big blue ocean
Sand beneath our feet, big blue sky above our heads, no need to keep

G                                    D
Stressing from our everyday life, on our minds,

C (palm mute)                
We have got to leave all that behind

Well, I have got a sister, and she has got a baby, with brand new eyes
And her daddy is an engineer, and they just took her to the sea for, the first time
Now they're under, under, underneath a big umbrella
Summer, summer, summer time to help us forget, nine to fives
We have got to leave all that behind

Solo chords: C G Am D

Am      D

G       Em       Am             D
I have, worries, to give to the sea

G       Em         Am                          D
We can, walk dear, the pier is farther than it seems

Midnight at the shoreline, fireworks above us, a screaming bloom
They're sent by some teenager, and kid whoever you are, I am thanking you
Now we're dancing, dancing, dancing with no music
What is happening, happening, happening and no feelings
Except this is right
We just had to leave all that behind

5. Signs
   Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: Pizzavenger


Intro:
G  Bm  G  Bm

Verse:
 G                       Bm                  G
It's the place and your friends that got me down
                    Bm        G
Telling me I should not hang around
 D                    C      G
There's a sign in the window
 D                    C    G
Telling me I've got to go

         D
Uh uh uh
         C
Uh uh uh
         G
Uh uh uh

 G                     Bm
I see the signs every day
 G                      Bm              G
In your face and in the way that you act
 D                         C     G
It's not that that hurts my pride
 D                  C         G
Now I see the other side of you
        D                   C                        G
The side that won't let down the side that wont let go

Solo:
Not Yet :/

Verse:(Repeat)

Didn't mean for me to see
the things I see in you and me
Now I know that we can live together
The way I want to live free forever

  D
Uh uh uh
  C
Uh uh uh
  G
Uh uh uh


  D
Uh uh uh
  C
Uh uh uh
  G
Uh uh uh


End on G


It's also fun to fingerpick the top 3 strings as opposed to strumming the
entire chord. Would sound nice on a banjo or mandalin, but this works fine:


     G                            Bm

e|-----3-----3-----3-----3------3----2-----2-----2-----2------2-----|
B|---0-----0-----0-----0------0----3-----3-----3-----3------3-------|
G|-0-----0-----0----0------0-----4-----4-----4-----4------4---------|

Screaming my lungs out, nothing to say

G       B7            C                  D7
I had a moment when I thought I might be wrong,
    G      B7           C        D7
But Ashley how could it be?
G               B7      C         D7
I waited on the rooftop all night long,
    G           B7         C       D7
But you weren't coming for me.
B7                              C
And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid
B7                         C
You said you wanted me but you never did
G          B7        C                    D7
There was a moment I thought our love was strong,

But now that moment is gone.

G                   B7             C              D7
I could stand right underneath the window of your room,

Throwing rocks I've done it before
G                   B7               C               D7
And I would love to find a reason to dazzle you with lies,
    G                B7        C         D7
But I don't have the energy no more.
B7                                   C
And you never promised anything that you didn't give,
B7                               C
I assumed that you'd say yes but you never did.
G           B7        C                D7
There was a moment my love for you was strong,

Don't leave the smallest part
        D               C                 G
I've no need to live if you're to come up gone
         G 
An as my life turns to a song
          C     
And if and when I treat you wrong
     D             C        G
No I never want to hurt our family
           G
And I would give up everything
           C
No this is not just about me
            D              C             G
And I don't know a plainer way to say it Babe

And they may pay us off in fame

Though that is not why we came

And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts

And I hear you call my name

I will break into a run without a pause
             G
And if your love laughs at your dreams
                 C
Well it's not as bad as it seems
       D          C               G
Either way one of them has got to go
           G
And if you take of my soul
        C
You can still leave it whole
          D            C             G
With the pieces of you own you leave behind

We came to leave behind the world a better way

And I would give up everything
               C
And if you were to come up clean
            D               C             G
And see you shine so bright in a world of woe
             G
And they may pay us off in fame
            C
But that is not why we came
          D            C                 G
And if it compromises truth then we will go

            C
We came for salvation

We came for family
            D          C                          G

It's the place and your friends that got me down
                    Bm        G
Telling me I should not hang around
 D                    C      G
There's a sign in the window
 D                    C    G
Telling me I've got to go

         D
Uh uh uh
         C

         G
Uh uh uh

 G                     Bm
I see the signs every day
 G                      Bm              G
In your face and in the way that you act
 D                         C     G
It's not that that hurts my pride

End on G


It's also fun to fingerpick the top 3 strings as opposed to strumming the
entire chord. Would sound nice on a banjo or mandalin, but this works fine:


     G                            Bm

e|-----3-----3-----3-----3------3----2-----2-----2-----2------2-----|
B|---0-----0-----0-----0------0----3-----3-----3-----3------3-------|
G|-0-----0-----0----0------0-----4-----4-----4-----4------4---------|
