Chords

This one has been done before. This way it might be easier to play. The C chord used could be a simple C or the Csus2(x32030/x32033). I like using the
basic C in the verses and then switch to the Csus2 in the chorus. They both work in
either place. In the chorus I like to hammer on/off the G note on the high E string
[Intro] D [Verse 1]
D          G   
Here I am, lost in the light of the moon

                      D
that comes through my window

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides 

                    D
the thorns from the roses

It's you and the roses

In between the longing to hold you again

I'm caught in your shadow,  I'm losing control
