Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
G|---11---------9--------------|
D|-------11--------9-----------|
A|-----------9--------7---2----| (Hold last note)
E|-----------------------------|
 Repeat 16 times.
 Play chord progression on each line of each verse.
 (9th Fret)  (7th Fret) (2nd  Fret)
 Well, the colours cross my mind
 Anyway
 And the feelings that I find
 So very hard to say.
 I'm gone with the rain
 Making out
 That you never felt the same
 You are in doubt.
 Play chord progression on each line.
 (2nd Fret)  (open) (2nd  Fret)
 Well, ...................
 ..........................
 And the spell was broken in two...
 Fill I:
G|---11---------9--------------|
D|-------11--------9-----------|
A|-----------9--------7---2----|
E|-----------------------------|
 Too soon my eyes grow dim
 I try
 To recognise the figures
 Drifting by.
 And too late, the sane man comes
 With the key
 I fight the loneliness
 It just ain't me.
 Now the evening bows
 To the night
 And I feel the world go down
 Before my eyes
 And recklessly
 I'm running round
 Cos' I tried to find another
 Name so proud.
 Hey y'know, There's someone who seems like you in every way
 Yeah, I'm gonna search, I'm gonna search, I'm gonna search every day.
 Strange piano Interlude:
 Whirring noise, then...
 Fill II:
E|-------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------4---------|
G|---11---------9---------------4-----4------|
D|-------11--------9---------4-----------4---|
A|-----------9--------7---2------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
 Repeat 3 times then drums and backing chords kick in.
 Fill III:
G|---11---------9--------------|
D|-------11--------9-----------|
A|-----------9--------7---2----|
E|-----------------------------|
 Repeat 8 times
 Many years ago
 In my past
 I realised my dream would never last
 And constantly
 The letters fade
 And I sense the better half
 Has already played
 And the colours cross my mind
 Anyway
 And the feelings that I find
 So very hard to say
 Now gone with the rain
 Making out
 That you never, never felt the same
 You are in doubt
 You're still in doubt......
