Travis - Song To Self Chords & Tabs

Travis - Song to self
Ode to J. Smith (2008)

This tab has been made listening to a previous version of the song. To play it as it is 
the album and single, skip the lines with the \ sign on the left. To play the other 
(that according to me sounds even better), play those lines too and skip the 2nd verse. Enjoy!

G              D       Em7    Cadd9
 I'm singing a song to myself

G             D       Em7            Cadd9
 Pictures in your mind, out of focus and unkind
G          D       Em7             Cadd9
 Picture me           I picture you

G              D         Em7                 Cadd9
I'm singing a song to myself ‘cos I don't belong any longer
G              D        Em7                  Cadd9
Just making it up in my head this feeling is strong and getting stronger
G              D     Em7                  Cadd9
Do you see the light? Tell me you see the light
G              D        Em7              Cadd9
Just making it up in my head ‘cos I need someone to sing along with

\      D                    Em7           Cadd9
\      I have no direction, tonight is no exception
\      No light, no reflection, I might praise your interception
\      Wrap you words around me, round and around until they surround me

\      By     the time you hear this I'll be  gone

Pictures in your heart, out of focus, torn apart
Picture me, I picture you
Outside the moon is shining
At the back of your mind there's a memory... me.
By the time you hear this I'll be gone

I'm singing a song to myself ‘cos I don't belong any longer
Just making it up in my head this feeling is strong and getting stronger
Do you see the light? Tell me you see the light
Just making it up in my head ‘cos I need someone to sing along with

I'm singing a song to myself ‘cos I don't belong any longer
