PS: This might seem weird since so few words are sang over so many chords,
so just listen to the song its very easy (and beautiful). The chords will
not be over the lyrics in the right spot.

G G/f# Em Em/B C
As the daylight sinks
G G/f# Em Em/B C

Once I've cursed the things I've done

Wait till morning when I call
Don't believe the bad you saw
Won't you please forgive them
Tenderness and grace
How you've come to this place
However dangerous or safe
I'll find within you
I'll find within you
Em D/F# G

4. At The Beach
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: Skeptopotamus
Intro: B C F# G
B C F# G
I know that you're smiling, baby, I don't even need to see your face
Sunset at the shoreline, we are laughing, breaking up, just like the waves
Are you feeling, feeling, feeling like I'm, feeling like I'm
Floating, floating, up above that big blue ocean
Sand beneath our feet, big blue sky above our heads, no need to keep
G D
Stressing from our everyday life, on our minds,
C (palm mute)
We have got to leave all that behind
Well, I have got a sister, and she has got a baby, with brand new eyes
And her daddy is an engineer, and they just took her to the sea for, the first time
Now they're under, under, underneath a big umbrella
Summer, summer, summer time to help us forget, nine to fives
We have got to leave all that behind
Solo chords: C G Am D
Am D
G Em Am D
I have, worries, to give to the sea
G Em Am D
We can, walk dear, the pier is farther than it seems
Midnight at the shoreline, fireworks above us, a screaming bloom
They're sent by some teenager, and kid whoever you are, I am thanking you
Now we're dancing, dancing, dancing with no music
What is happening, happening, happening and no feelings
Except this is right
We just had to leave all that behind
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Signs
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: Pizzavenger
Intro:
G Bm G Bm
Verse:
G Bm G
It's the place and your friends that got me down
Bm G
Telling me I should not hang around
D C G
There's a sign in the window
D C G
Telling me I've got to go
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
G Bm
I see the signs every day
G Bm G
In your face and in the way that you act
D C G
It's not that that hurts my pride
D C G
Now I see the other side of you
D C G
The side that won't let down the side that wont let go
Solo:
Not Yet :/
Verse:(Repeat)
Didn't mean for me to see
the things I see in you and me
Now I know that we can live together
The way I want to live free forever
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
End on G
It's also fun to fingerpick the top 3 strings as opposed to strumming the
entire chord. Would sound nice on a banjo or mandalin, but this works fine:
G Bm

Don't leave the smallest part

I've no need to live if you're to come up gone
G
An as my life turns to a song
C
And if and when I treat you wrong
D C G
No I never want to hurt our family
G
And I would give up everything
C
No this is not just about me
D C G
And I don't know a plainer way to say it Babe
G
And they may pay us off in fame
C
Though that is not why we came
D C G
And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts
C
We came for salvation
G
We came for family
D C G
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away
C
We came to break the bad
G
We came to cheer the sad
D C G
We came to leave behind the world a better way
G
Now if I'm walkin' through the rain
C
And I hear you call my name

I will break into a run without a pause
G
And if your love laughs at your dreams

Intro:
G Bm G Bm
Verse:
G Bm G
It's the place and your friends that got me down
Bm G
Telling me I should not hang around
D C G
There's a sign in the window
D C G
Telling me I've got to go
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
G Bm
I see the signs every day
G Bm G
In your face and in the way that you act
D C G
It's not that that hurts my pride
D C G
Now I see the other side of you
D C G
The side that won't let down the side that wont let go
Solo:
Not Yet :/
Verse:(Repeat)
Didn't mean for me to see
the things I see in you and me
Now I know that we can live together
The way I want to live free forever
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
End on G
It's also fun to fingerpick the top 3 strings as opposed to strumming the
entire chord. Would sound nice on a banjo or mandalin, but this works fine:
G Bm
e|-----3-----3-----3-----3------3----2-----2-----2-----2------2-----|
B|---0-----0-----0-----0------0----3-----3-----3-----3------3-------|
