Chords
I think to get the most sound of chords in this song without arpeggiating is
this variation of C and G only in the verse, every other chord is played as
standard in the rest of the song (including the chorus). Also it sounds
better to end both verses with a standard G chord.
Variation of C chord
e|-x B|-3 G|-0 D|-2 A|-3 E|-x
Variation of G chord
e|-x B|-0 G|-2 D|-0 A|-2 E|-3
[Verse 1]
C G I opened my eyes last night, and saw you in the lowlight C Walking down by the bay, on the shore Em C D Staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore C G I was feeling the night, grow old, and you were looking so cold C Like an introvert, I drew my overshirt Em C D Around my arms and began to shiver violently before C G You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me C Running into the dark underground Em C D All the subways around create a great sound C G To my motion fatigue farewell
With your ear to a seashell
C You can hear the waves in underwater caves Em C D G (standard) As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
[Chorus]
D Em C G Time together is just never quite enough D Em G C When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home D Em C G What will it take to make or break this hint of love? D Em G C We need time, only time D Em C G When we're apart whatever are you thinking of? D Em G C If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone? D Em C G So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love? D Em G C All the time, all the time
[Verse 2]
C G Can you believe that the crew has gone, and wouldn't let me sign on? C Em C D All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep C G I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights C I guess I'll never know, why sparrows love the snow Em C D G (standard) Well, turn off all of the lights, and set this ballroom aglow D Em C G D So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love? Em G C All the time
[Chorus]
D Em C G Time together is just never quite enough D Em G C When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home D Em C G What will it take to make or break this hint of love? D Em G C We need time, only time D Em C G When we're apart whatever are you thinking of? D Em G C If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone? D Em C G So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love? D Em G C All the time, all the time
[Outro]
C Time together is just never quite enough G When we're apart whatever are you thinking of? C What will it take to make or break this hint of love? Em C D So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love? C All the time
