STANDARD TUNING
CAPO 3
 All of the Dblack and white
 All of the Bmcontours...
 ...are laid out befAore me now... 
 ...to leave a Gtrace
 With all of the Dlight and shame...
 ...we take up our Bmown space
 I'll find my Aown way back,..
 ...back to the Gpast tense
 A Emlifeline to highs anAd lows...
 ...to seeing the Dbright side
 And I should Bmknow
 We Emwait for the aftAerglow...
 ...to cover the Dblind side
 And I should Bmknow
 All of the Dempty thoughts
 All of the Bmoutlines...
 ...are laid out beAfore us now...
 ...to leave a Gtrace
 All of your Dwords and mine,..
 ...they keep reBmturning
 I'll find my Aown way back,...
 ...back to the Gsilence
 A Emlifeline to highs anAd lows...
 ...to seeing the Dbright side
 And I should Bmknow
 We Emwait for the aftAerglow...

 And I should Bmknow
 EmI've given up all I can.A..

All of the black and white

With all of the light and shame...

I'll find my own way back,..

...back to the past tense

A lifeline to highs and lows...

...to seeing the bright side

And I should know

Em A

We wait for the afterglow...

...to cover the blind side

And I should know

All of the empty thoughts

All of the outlines...

...are laid out before us now...

...to leave a trace

All of your words and mine,..

...they keep returning

I'll find my own way back,...

...back to the silence

Em A

A lifeline to highs and lows...

And I should know

Em A

We wait for the afterglow...

...to cover the blind side

And I should know

Em A

I've given up all I can...
