Palm mute heavily for F5, and gradually ease it off through the riff.
F5I'm watching you E5walk as you Amwalk that Bdistant way
F5Take that thing E5away from me Ctake away most Beverything
F5I couldn't say I'd E5blame you or you should Amnever look in Bback
F5You wouldn't be to E5blame if you Ccouldn't take it Bback
[Chorus]
GHours slipping Amby as you Bwatch the worlds colClide
GNow you're nothinFg more tEmhan another Cpasserby
GThe dark it turns tFo light iEmn a distant flash Cof night
Rolling Gwith the Ftide I confidAme the act we Amwear it thin again
I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords
(similar to the verse riff, but less restrained), but I play them as open
position chords to go easy on my left hand.

Palm mute heavily for F5, and gradually ease it off through the riff.

F5 E5 Am B

I'm watching you walk as you walk that distant way

F5 E5 C B

Take that thing away from me take away most everything

F5 E5 Am B

I couldn't say I'd blame you or you should never look in back

F5 E5 C B

You wouldn't be to blame if you couldn't take it back

[Chorus]

G Am B C

Hours slipping by as you watch the worlds collide

G F Em C

Now you're nothing more than another passerby

G F Em C

The dark it turns to light in a distant flash of night

G F Am Am

Rolling with the tide I confide the act we wear it thin again

I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords

(similar to the verse riff, but less restrained), but I play them as open

position chords to go easy on my left hand.
