For this song you will need to detune your guitar down

Then the first verse starts

Em G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D (I'll just refer
Surely it knows, we're down here to this as
D riff now)
Em G D riff
Walking 'round barefoot lost

Em A
Pretty soon these clouds have got to clear

G D A
I know it's a lot

G D A
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop

G D A
For a second so I could coax you to talk


(There could be a very quick G in here, I'm not sure)
Em ^ D riff



Em G D riff
Think when we first layed eyes

Em G D riff
Didn't know who you were and then I was one more passerby

Em G D riff
You were the girl in the entryway, thats all that I knew but

Em A
You were still in school and I was insecure

G D A
I know it's a lot

G D A
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop

G D A
For a second so I could coax you to talk

A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m A F#m D riff D riff
About your dreams and orange soda tea leaves, tv, more....more

(If you don't like all the changes above you can just strum the F#m
the whole way though til 'more' but it doesn't sound as good)

Em G D riff
Looks like the rains holding off

Em G D riff
Might as well take this slow

Em G D riff
You know sometimes when I hold you in silence I listen real close

Em A
Then I hear you talking to my soul

G D A
Well I know it ain't half

G D A D riff D riff D riff etc
Just what would it take to coax you to laugh? To laugh, To laugh To laugh


Em G D riff

Em G D riff

Just play G over the following lines
