Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
played along with cute piano):
The verses sung by Ryan are played the same way the intro is played:
You'd look nice in a grave.
I smile at the moon; death is on my face
And if you wait too long,
Then you'll never see the dawn again
The female verses have another pattern:
Keep the proper pauses in between the phrases:
"My skull is full ... of sunken ships,
My heart's a prisoner ... to my ribs,
We're flesh & bone ... when we're all alone,
But together, forever, ... we'll live"
After a short pause, goes the interlude:
And the third and fourth verses:
There's gold in my heart,
But the winds took my sails through the dark,
And if you wait too long,
then you'll never see the dawn again.
"He filled my heart, ... I did my best.
But without the sun, ... I'm only shadows in a dress.
`Cause if the full moon comes, ... our love is done,
So forever, towards dark, ... we rise"
