*CAPO ON 2nd FRET*

Chords used: C, Am, F, D

Listen for the stroke pattern to get it exactly right...I have placed the stroke pattern for you marked by "D" for down and "U" for up.  It is the same pretty much through the whole song.  *D*D* Just means a double down stroke.  THE LYRICS AND CHORDS ARE AT THE BOTTOM FOR A MUCH EASIER VERSION!

Intro: Just C

C
 Daylight is leaving
         Am
 And the night is closing in
C
 In just a few hours
     Am
 The sleeplessness begins again
F              C
 My head feels thick
F                  C 
 And I'm unable to think
C
 I guess I'll wait 'til tomorrow
     F   F       C
 And see what it brings
D
 I have a little hope left
       F                         C
 And I guess that's someplace to start
C
 But my memory's full
      F    F    C 
 Of a deep blue heart.


C
 My fun-loving sense of humor
   Am
Is nowhere to be found
C
 I stare into my own eyes
      Am
 With tears flowing down
F               C
 I'd sing out a song, but I've
F             C
 Forgotten the tune
C
 And the words now escape me
       F       F        C
 But I think it's about you
D                 F              C 
 My vision now is way out in the dark
C
 With just a little sight left
      F    F    C
 Of a deep blue heart


C
 I see us both flying
        Am
 In the clear blue sky
C
 Floating out on the ocean
          Am
 With the sun in our eyes
F            C
 Caught in a moment
F            C
 Just me and you
C
 In complete honesty
       F    F        C
 Where everything is true
D
 That's what I wanted to believe
F               C
 Right from the start
C
 Just a little place for myself
      F    F    C
 In a deep blue heart


C
 Carve out a place for myself
         F    F    C
 In your deep blue heart


That's it...hope it helps!
