/_________________/  time before they will fall on love as she believes in it so blindly.

2nd Verse




Chorus




Solo:
As the solo is played by an obviously fretless Cello, so you need to use a slide bar or
a tremolo bar to be able to produce the notes in between the 'fret notes', which gives
this Cello-sliding effect.
(When using the Tremolo to slide, hit the natural harmonic on the 12th fret instead of
 the usual 12th note as indicated in the tabs - my opinion, it sounds better when screaming.)

3rd Verse




Chorus till end




  I have slept beside the winter and the green is growing slow
  I have watched you find the places hidden by the snow
  I have tripped into a valley that is blue till you can see
  I want you to come walk this world with me

  With the light in our eyes it's hard to see
  Holding on and on to what we believe
  I'm not touched but I'm aching to be
  I want you to come walk this world with me

  And I'm sucked in by the wonder and I'm fucked up by the lies
  And I dig a hole to lie in and I build some wings to fly
  And I think that I could love you 'cause you know how to be free
  I want you to come walk this world with me

  And it's burning in our fingers and it's burning on the road
  And I like the way you're broken and I'll like you when you're old
  And I see you in the garden and I feel you plant the seed
  I want you to come walk this world with me
