This is a great song and what really makes it great are the words sung with the
right strumming pattern. Just keep practicing and listening to the song or
watching Erika perform on YouTube.
There are three main chords:
E3 = E* B3 = B* A3 = A*
e x x x
b x x x
g 9 x x
d 6 9 7
a 7 6 6
E 0 7 4
Intro E*
VERSE
E* B*
My heart has drifted out into a place I cannot find
A*
And the days go by searching all the time
E*
Oh I was searching all, searching all the time
VERSE
E* B*
I looked into the eyes, the eyes of everyone I know
A*
And the days go by wondering where to go
E*
Oh I was searching all, searching all the time
BRIDGE
E* B*
I tell myself these bitter, these bitter days will end
A* E*
You gotta, you just gotta let them go, an just let go
CHORUS
E* B*
So, I stumble and I sway oh, into the room and I fade
A* E*
And I hope my darkest days are behind me
E* B*
I want to stay out here in the sun for a while
A* E*
I hope my darkest days are behind me
VERSE
Oh for way too long these things they occupy my mind
And the things that I, things I left behind
Oh, I was searching all, searching all the time
BRIDGE
Oh my my my these bitter, these bitter days will end
You gotta, you just gotta let them go, an just let go
CHORUS
So, I stumble and I sway oh into the room and I fade
And I hope my darkest days are behind me
I want to stay out here in the sun for a while
And I saw i saw the wide old world wide old way
E*
And I saw I saw the wide old world wide old way
So thats the gist. The strumming and timing is slightly different on each section
so you have to just listen to it very carefully until you get it. On live
versions Erika goes into a repeat of the chorus where she does some amazing
improvised vocal work. Let me know if you have anything to add. [email protected]
