*Intro*
D F#- A
D G D
It started long ago, you have to understand
F#- G
we thought we'd make a life, we thought we had a plan
D G D
we built it like a house and filled it up with kids
F#-
the only trouble is
C G
I won't be back again
D G-
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
B- E
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
G G- A
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
D G-
something in my heart no longer could survive
B- E
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
G G- D F#-
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us
A- G G- A
D G D
And then it all began, the quarrels and the moods
F#- G
I tip-toed all around you; you danced around me too
D G D
and somewhere in between we found the time for love
F#-
the only trouble is
C G
it never was enough
D G-
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
B- E
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
G G- A
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
D G-
something in my heart no longer could survive
B- E
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
G G- D F#-
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us
G A
What was the sense in keeping alive
C G
something that never made us satisfied
E- A
sometimes it's better to get on with your life
C A7
I don't believe in hurting each other all the time
*SOLO*
D G-
D G-
D F#- A
D G D
Now after all the lawyers have eaten our remains
F#- G
and after all the nights have swallowed up the pain
D G D
then maybe we will meet, we'll find a neutral place
F#-
the only trouble is
C G
what will we have to say?
D G-
Well something in our hearts will have to try and give
B- E
and something in our hearts will have to learn to live
G G- D F#-
together and apart without another war between us
A- G G- A
D
As always, fell free to make this tab better.
This is one of the most "pop" song written by Adrian, but I love it from the deep of my
'cause what you can find here are a very amazing words, talking about the end of his
(the following rise up is "May 1, 1990" from "Here").
I wrote only the chord just because the note and solo parts are very simple to find.
I hope you'll enjoy playing this with your acoustic guitar, singing with your friends
dedicating to your ex girlfriend!
Simple but simply beautiful.
Thank you Ade.
