Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
verse is confusing at first, so here is how it should sound without singing :
Verse
( )
And this is how it goes along with the words.
The sidewalk's cracked and dirty face
Is looking up from underneath my feet
Staring at the hollow broken boy
Who's lost and wandering these... city streets
And everynight I wander here alone The night
That we won't meet I...
Chorus
Wonder when, when I'll
Finally understand
Why time can wash away love like
It was made of sand and it's
Wonderful the pain
That comes with regret
Sometimes you have to see the beauty
In all of this lonelyness
replay intro, then next verse :
Street lights flicker and they fade
Like every good intention that I had
And everyface that passes through my mind
I'll be struggling with
These same old dreams
Until the concrete turns to sand
And I'm swept up by the waves
PLay the chorus again... then
There's only so many chances that you'll get to do
Something that's this important
Now I'd rather sink than swim
Sewer drains keep spewing out their steam
Telling all the broken dreams I've flushed away...
then play just the chords of the chorus, and then after that twice, you can play the
chorus again, with normal words, or put the actual final chorus words in there. it's
the same chords, so I'm not going to bother to lay them out. the outro is just
strumming/palm muting a C chord, and it finishes on an F. This is an amazing song
and should be learned by all.
Enjoy the goodness that is Bayside.
