Fantastic new song from Travis from the album The Boy With No Name. You'll struggle to a better live band. I messed about on my guitar for about half an hour and came up with this. I'm pretty this is about right. It sounds a wee bit like 'Side'.

Em         Emadd9 Em    Emadd9
All these visions in my head

Em                Emadd9         D    Em
Should've gone to bed before the watershed

Em       Emadd9   Em       Emadd9
Some are live and some are dead

Em        Emadd9                 D       Em
makes no diferrence when they're in your head
Em, Emadd9 (x 3) then D, Em (repeat this x 2) Verse 2:
Em       Emadd9 Em   Eadd9
Keep the door open a crack

Em           Emadd9    D    Em
so I can see them when they attack

Em       Emadd9     Em       Emadd9
some are white and some are black

Em       Emadd9                  D       Em
makes no difference when they're on your back
CHORUS:
       C     D    Em
And I can't stop crying.

      C      D    Em
And I can't stop trying.

         C   D   G     G/F#  Em7
Cuz the day is dying, dying, dying

         C    D   Em
With my Eyes Wide Open
Em, Emadd9 (x 3) then D, Em (repeat this x 2) Verse 3:
Em        Emadd9   Em       Eadd9
Count the sheep jumping the fence

Em            Emadd9               D       Em
so I can see (something!) when I'm feeling tense

Em  Emadd9       Em   Emadd9
dis-believe hung with suspense

Em        Emadd9       D   Em
I die down with my own defence
CHORUS:
       C     D    Em
And I can't stop crying.

      C      D    Em
And I can't stop trying.
