Chords
This is REM's new song off there forthcoming album. I'm sure its all correct. Just
follow the pattern for the verse and chorus and when the break comes i have shown
how the chords work out. The lyrics in Brackets are backing vocals which are sung
at the end of the line.
Em Eb (x2)
[Verse]
Em Eb C Bb Am7 It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything Em Eb C Bb Am7 comes calling back a brilliant night, I'm still awake Em Eb C Bb Am7 I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there Em Eb C Bb Am7 you don't need me to tell you now, that nothing can compare
[Chorus]
G D you might have laughed if I told you C Am you might have hidden the frown G D you might have succeeded in changing me C Am I might have been turned around G D It's easier to leave than to be left behind C Am leaving was never my proud G D leaving New York never easy C Am I saw the life fading out
[Verse]
Em Eb C Bb Am7 now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take Em Eb C Bb Am7 the loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in way Em Eb and on our lost till in my eyes, shadow of necklace across your thigh C Bb Am7 I might have lived my life in a dream, but I swear... this is real Em Eb Memory fuses in shatters out glass, but carry your future, forget the past C Bb Am7 but it's you, it's what i feel.
[Chorus]
G D you might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart) C Am you might have hidden the frown (change) G D you might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart) C Am I might have been turned around (change) G D It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart) C Am leaving was never my proud (change) G D leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart) C Am I saw the light fading out
