G A Bm A E
[verse1]
G A Gbm Bm A
Another day I call and never speak
G A Bm A E
And you would say nothing's changed at all
G A Gbm Bm A
And I can't feel much hope for anything
G A Bm A E
If I won't be there to catch you if you fall
[chorus]
G D
Again
A
It seems we meet
G D
In the spaces
A
In between
G D
We always say
A
It won't be long
Bm A G
But something's always wrong
[play riff here]
[verse2]
G A Gbm Bm A
Another game of putting things aside
G A Bm A E
As if we'll come back to them some time
G A Gbm Bm A
A brace of hope a pride of innocence
G A Bm A E
And you would say something has gone wrong
[chorus]

I found a transcription of this song at Nevada, but it needed a capo. My
version doesn't. Also, my intro riff transcription is different.
Anyway, enjoy!

And you would say....nothing's changed at all

If I won't be there....to catch you if you fall

Again, it seems we meet, in the spaces in between
C G D Em D Cadd9
We always say, it won't be long, oh, but something's always wrong
(see INTRO Tab)
Another game....of putting things aside
As if we'll come....back to them sometime (same chords as
A brace of hope....a pride of innocence 1st verse)
And you would say....something has gone wrong

C D Bm Em D/F#bass / C D Em D A/C#bass
(play above progression twice, with vocal 'ooh's and 'aay's)
C G D C G D
And again, it seems we meet, in the spaces in between
C G D Em D Cadd9
We always say, it won't be long, oh, but something's always wrong
Em D Cadd9 Em C D Dsus4 D
Something's always wrong, something's always wrong
(play INTRO Tab, then verse progression twice to close)

That 'A/C#bass' chord is played like this: x4222x , or add the 'A'
bass note, like so: 54222x. Also, leading into the chorus, try a
variation of opening up the treble strings, like this: 542000.
Cool song -- hope you like my arrangement!
