Ben Sinclair (ssusncla@rdg.ac.uk) Bb [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 Bb D C Every time I see you oh I try to hide away F G A Bb C F But when we meet it seems I can't let go F Bb D C Bb * 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" Bb 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...
