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.
