View chords used in this chart
Hey all, this is my first tab! I was surprised to see there wasn't a tab of this song up yet so I figured I
may as well make one since it's a pretty easy song.
At the end of the Chorus you can do a rundown with the Em, just plucking a D then a C before going back to
the Am.
Am
A full circle of degrees,
right, left, left.
And my eyes adjust to see,
right, left, left.
F
That the world,
was not my world.
Am
You see the year was 24,
right, left, left.
Not a single face I knew,
right, left, left.
F
And my girl,
was not my girl.
D
Out in the street,
Bm
things were not the same.
Em
And I walked through the town,
G
past the vacant faces.
Em
And I walked past the place
G
I once called my home.
C D
Looking for a sign,
Em
looking for a way,
Am
to get her back.
Am
And a quest across the sea,
right, left, left.
For a place I long to be,
right, left, left.
F
In a time no longer mine.
D
Out in the street,
Bm
things were not the same.
Em
And I walked through the town,
G
past the vacant faces.
Em
And I walked past the place
G
I once called my home.
C D
Looking for a sign,
Em
looking for a way,
Am
to get her back.
Am
Oh let her be here,
let her be safe,
let her have spent all her time
F
longing for me,
Bm
for me.
Em
And I walked through the town,
G
past the vacant faces.
Em
And I walked past the place
G
I once called my home.
C D
Looking for a sign,
Em
looking for a way,
Am
to get her back.
