This is my first upload :)
Really love this song, so thought i'd tab it out rather than leave as a note in my music book.

Intro: D/F/C/G (riff pattern)

 D                         F                          C
I'm being followed by my shadow; he's been creeping around,
                   G
asking where I've been
 D                         F                      C
He keeps tapping on my shoulder, telling  me its over,
                G
so where do I begin?

(riff pattern with extra notes)

 D                             F                          C
These dark days are getting harder, I feel I'm treading water,
                 G
so will sink or swim?
 D                        F                             C
Roll on, push a little further, I keep saying is this worth it,
                      G                  D
or should I just give in? I don't know..

D                   F                   C              G        (palm muted)
I don't know which way I'm supposed to spin, in this circle
And I won't waste my time on   your  concern, till its over

Solo:  D/C/G/G

 D                         C                          G                             G
I look back on a distant border, I fear I'm getting older, There's so much that I missed
Walk on following a    faint line,   see if I can define,            where I came undone

D                    F                   C              G        (palm muted)
I don't know which  way I'm supposed to spin, in this circle
And I won't waste my time on your      concern,till it's over
D                   F                   C                G
And I will wait my turn, my time will come,  This ain't over
And I can't wait no more, no sweet  return,     This is over

         D               C           C(8th)          G
So it is - No sweet return, So it is - No sweet return
So it is - No sweet return, So it is - No sweet return

This is over....
