Strum the chords as follows, one bar each for the first two chords in each line, then
bars for the last chord in each line.
Note that the strumming pattern from above continues the same exact way, i.e. the Gand
chords are strummed for two bars.
And when the dawn begins to creep,
Sunlight finds you in a heap,
And how you wish that you could sleep,
Forget the lies that youve been told,
Think youre setting free your soul,
But youre really getting old.
Youve dreamt of divin in the sea,
Your outstretched hand in front of me,
And how you wished that you could breathe.
In the grip of ecstasy,
When the shadows follow me,
And the night wont set you free.
You wish someone could love you less,
Longing for that one caress,
I see you sink under Duress.
Play the C4 chord for three bars, then in this version of the song, Adam sings some
lyrics over the C4 chord, I am not 100% sure, but I believe that they go like this:
Dont let me hear your safe life
takin you over, Angel
On Angel it switches to the Bb chord, and Adam plays the entire into section again to
the song, finishing on the C4 chord.
