Bracketed notes are bass notes (if you play for yourself)


[Riff 2]
This is what's played in the original version:

A7sus4             A7             A7sus4             A7
e:--0--0--0--0--0-0--0--0--0--0--0-0--0--0--0--0--0-0--0--0--0--0--0~--|
B:--3---3-3---3-3--3-2---2-2---2-2--2-3---3-3---3-3--3-2---2-2---2-2~--|
G:--0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0~--|

A:--0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0~--|
E:---------------------------------------------------------------------|


But I think this sounds better:

  A7sus4            A7           A7sus4            A7
e:--0--0--0--0--0---0--0--0--------0--0--0--0--0---0--0--0~---|

Progression:

[Riff 1]

All of the seasons and all of the days
All of the reasons why I felt this way

[Riff 2]

So long, so long.

[Riff 1]

Then lost in that feeling, I looked in your eyes
I noticed emotion and that you had cried

[Riff 2]

For me, I can see.

Dm                    CaddD  C   G                   A       Asus4  A 
   What would touch me deep--er? Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Dm                    CaddD  C      G                     A*     
   Would it touch you deep---er than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

[Riff 1] x2
[Riff 2]
[Riff 1] x2

A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek
I tasted the answers and my body was weak

[Riff 2]

For you, the truth.

Dm                    CaddD  C   G                   A       Asus4  A 
   What would touch me deep--er? Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Dm                    CaddD  C      G                     A*     
   Would it touch you deep---er than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
