Album: Behind The Eyes
Transcribed by Rok Osojnik


This is the saddest, but in my 
opinion the most beautiful song on 
the album.

THIS SONG IS CAPOED AT 2ND FRET.
All chords are named as if the capo 
was the nut.
Sign ! means strum upwards.

Verse:
G           D   Dsus4            
  Who knew love        would come
  C         C*       Cadd9
 walkin' through my door
            C        C         D  
  Turn the light on somewhere down  
 G
 inside

G            D      Dsus4  C   
  Give me a feeling       I'd 
      C*    Cadd9
never had before
            C
  It was a long wait
         C      D           G
  it was   just   the wrong   time

!Em                   C

Em             C2
    somewhere within
!Em                C
    And when you think about
C                    C   D
    what might have been


Chorus:
G     Cadd9
  Cry        a river
G       Cadd9
  Flood        the sea
G        D    C2   G
  Cry a river over   me
G      Cadd9
  Take       the bitter
G      Cadd9
  With       the sweet
G            D    C2   G
  And cry a river over   me


(Repeat intro)


Verse:
G                D     Dsus4    
  And how do you argue       
     C  C*           Cadd9
with a feeling in your bones
             C        C         D
  'bout what is and what isn't 
    G
meant   to be
G                  D
  Some things you live with
C               C*          Cadd9
  And you never    let it show
            C
  Like the pain I felt
       C     D          G
  The day I watched you   leave


Bridge:
!Em                   C
    But I hope you'll   think of me
Em               C2
    When tender winds blow
!Em              C
    Sit on the shores of love
C                    C   D
    And just let it go
