Chords

I am using an alternate version for the translation - the one with the extended ending the demo tracks. I think it follows the Medazzaland one pretty close... The (Am) after the (Dm) is heard sometimes in the chorus. Well, at least the bass on track I listen to goes to an 'A'. You can play this "implied" Am or just stay on Dm, way sounds good just a matter of preference... Notice sometimes the Dm becomes a "D" - (i.e. in the parts like "Don't know you at all" at the end. DD does this quite a bit (going from a minor to a major of the same root) it gets confusing when transcribing b/c you are used to the minor and then they throw in different. So note the Dm vs. D parts, subtle but gives it it's cool 'DD' (I think this was a Warren thing...) Intro: F C Dm
      F          C          Dm     (Am)
As I watch you flickering slowly

        F        C          Dm      (Am)
In the shadows, nothing to hold

             F        C        Dm       (Am)
It’s as if I don’t recall our time before

             F   C  Dm     (Am)
And would it be so wrong

F        C     Dm    (Am)
Not to remember?

           F        C           Dm      (Am)
There are times I look at you differently

          F      C         Dm      (Am)
Like I’d never seen you before

              F       C
Funny after all we’ve done

          Dm        (Am)      F   C   D    (Am)
You could be someone I don't know at all

              F  C  D
(Don’t know you at all)
Break: Bb - F
C                       Gm
Catch me I don’t want to fall

         F         C            Dm      (Am)
But you pull the mountain from under me

            F       C        Dm      (Am)
Look, I’m dangling up in the blue

           F        C       Dm       (Am)
And it’s a cartoon coyote eternity

          F   C        Dm     (Am)
Before I drop down to you

F          C          Dm    (Am)
What am I supposed to do now?
F - C - Dm - (Am) X4
          F         C          Dm   (Am)
There is something beautiful shining

        F       C            Dm    (Am)
In the far off night of your hair

             F         C            Dm       (Am)
Funny for a while it seemed to come from the sky

         F    C   D
But it’s in your head

         F     C    D
Yes it fills your head

Bb                F
You and I don’t always fly

C                   Gm
Let me go I want to fall

              Bb
Deep into the dark

     Dm       C       Bb
But I’ll get back to you

           F      C          D
And I’ll always know how to find you

            F             C       D
Cause you shine like the midnight sun
