Intro (e-Bow solo);

To make the ebow parts easier to tab and to read, I've used the following shorthand;

1 = 11th fret
2 = 12th fret
3 = 13th fret
4 = 14th fret
5 = 15th fret

Verse 1;

A                          Asus2         E
The sun beats hard on an empty beach where I tried so hard

Esus4     D     D6       F#m F#m7add11 E Esus4
but couldn’t reach the stars, in your eyes.

A                     Asus2  E                                Esus4
You were just a child when I came to you, and we were friends,

D                    D6           F#m F#m7add11 E Esus4
’till love stepped in, and you stepped away.

Verse 2;

A                        Asus2     E                  Esus4   D
I would lie and curse the day, and visit places where we lay alone

D6      F#m    F#m7add11 E Esus4
And find them turned to stone

Chorus;

A                 Asus2
Because you hold the heart of someone new

E             F#m  D
I’ll take a chance on   time

A                 Asus2
Hold out here for something true

E            A  D
Standing out of line

F#m            F#m7add11        A            E  D
But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name

F#m             F#m7add11           E           Esus4 A
The way you did before he came, the way you will     again



Verse 3;

A                          Asus2
I fell apart and you came to me

E                     Esus4   D
I never can explain how much it turned me round

D6        F#m    F#m7add11 E Esus4
Much more than upside down

Chorus;

A                 Asus2
Because you hold the heart of someone new

E             F#m  D
I’ll take a chance on   time

A                 Asus2
Hold out here for something true

E            A  D
Standing out of line

F#m            F#m7add11        A            E  D
But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name

F#m             F#m7add11           E           Esus4 A
The way you did before he came, the way you will     again

Middle bit;

Esus4      F#m            E          D         
And I love the sun,       and I need the rain

Esus4      A                        Asus2   E                
And I know the way that you left me was only to test me

D            F#m   E 
And I was vain

Esus4     F#m
And I will be strong

E         D      Dsus4  D        
And I will be warm

Esus4      A                      Asus2       E    
And I will let no one come near me until you will hear me

D            F#m  E
Just once again

Verse 4;

A                             Asus2
And time will wear a mountain down

E                   Esus4      D
And make a lover of the clown who laughed too long

D6           F#m  F#m7add11  Esus4
And coloured you wrong

Chorus;

A                 Asus2

I’ll take a chance on   time
