Revised by Aaron Carlino (acarlino@Empire.Net)
Intro: Guitar 1 plays riff, while guitar 2 plays chords
Verse, Guitar 1 tacet:
Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside
And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive
Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you
It's getting cold in California
I guess I'll be leaving soon
Chorus:
Daylight fading
Come and waste another year
All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
We leave just before it's gone
Repeat intro
Verse: (where indicated, gtr. 1 plays the fills below)
She said "everybody loves you"
she says, "everybody cares"
But all the things I keep inside myself,
* (w/ fill 1)
they vanish in the air * (w/ fill 2)
If you tell me that you'll wait for me
I'll say I won't be here
I want to say goodby to you
Goodbye to all my friends
Goodbye to everyone I know
Fill 1 Fill 2
