Sorry about the spacing, it's a little off but hopefully you can figure it out.
I have to give JJ (he tabbed out version 2) credit for figuring out the main
keyboard riff, although I've altered it slightly because it wasn't exactly
right. Anyway, this is a really cool song, I hope you enjoy!

B (x2444x@1)            F#The (244322@1)stars lean down to kiss you,

Abm (133111@4)       EAnd (022100@1)I lie awake and miss you.

B (x2444x@1)        F# (244322@1)          Abm (133111@4)      EPour (022100@1)me a heavy dose of atmosphere.

B (x2444x@1)                 F#Cause (244322@1)I'll doze off safe and soundly,

Abm (133111@4)               EBut (022100@1)I'll miss your arms around me.

B (x2444x@1)          F#I'd (244322@1)send a postcard to you dear,

Abm (133111@4)        ECause (022100@1)I wish you were here.

B, F#, Abm, E x4 (same chord progression as above)


B (x2444x@1)              F#I'll (244322@1)watch the night turn light blue,

Abm (133111@4)             EBut (022100@1)it's not the same without you

B (x2444x@1)              F# (244322@1)            Abm (133111@4)    EBecause (022100@1)it takes two to whisper quietly.

B (x2444x@1)          F#The (244322@1)silence isn't so bad

Abm (133111@4)             E'Til (022100@1)I look at my hands and feel sad

B (x2444x@1)                F# (244322@1)                 Abm (133111@4)                 ECause (022100@1)the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.


(This is the little keyboard riff that goes from
"I'll find repose..." to "... I don't feel so alone.")
