IS THAT ENOUGH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro: C C F G x2
C F G
Things we did unthinking, the joke we left unsaid,
C F G
Unsure how and when we were misled
C F G
And if that matters, it's a varied feud,
C F G
And all that matters for me is you
C F G
Is that enough? Oh, is that enough? Well...
C F G
It's not enough, no, if it's unclear, the way I feel for you
I wonder if you're sleeping, I wonder how to know,
I wonder why I hate to let that show
It's unimportant, as far as I can tell,
Of what's important, I can't see so well
Is that enough? Oh, is that enough? Well...
It's not enough, no, if it's unclear, the way I feel for you
F G F C F G
It's true: what can't come back's what we can't bear to lose
I'm getting smarter, nearly every day,
Waiting, waiting to see my way
Is that enough? Oh, is that enough? Well...
It's not enough, no, there's just no way that it's enough
Is that enough? Oh, is that enough? Well...
It's not enough, no, if it's still unclear, the way I feel for you
F G
It's sad, but not untrue: what can't come back's what we can't bear to lose
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELL YOU BETTER

D#
Heard your voice in my head too soon,
C D#
Pass girl, say it, an old cocoon,
D#
Oh baby, make up your mind, please make up your mind
D#
So we left a stone unturned,
C D#
Maybe that's a lesson learned, yeah
D#
Please make up your mind before it's too late
I didn't waste your time that much,
That's where I draw the line as such
Oh baby, make up your mind, please make up your mind
There's always more to see,
But it'll keep, go another day,
Baby, make up your mind before it's too late
D# D#
We got out alive, it all worked out this time,
And everything's fine, now please make up your mind,
Please make up your mind
D#
But if it's up, it's up to me,
I'm not sure that I'll come see, yeah
Please make up your mind, before it's too late
The wah-wah riff:

Baby, make up your mind
Baby, make up your mind
C D#
Oh, you better make up your mind before it's too late

|B-----------------------------------|
|G-----------------------------------|
|D-----------------------------------|
|A-------0-------2-------0---0-4-2---|
|E---0-2-----0-2-----0-2-------------|
Most of the song is really just kind of improvising with this melody:
|e---------------------------------------------------|
|B---------------------------------------------------|
|G-------2-----2-----2---2------2-----/4-----4---2---|
|D---2-2---2-2---2-2---2---/4-4---4-4----4-4---4-----|

Here's the spacey kind of sound that's played sometimes:
|e---------------------------------|
|B---2---2-0---2-0-----------------|
|G-----------2-----2---2/4/6/7/9---|
|D---------------------------------|
|A---------------------------------|
|E---------------------------------|
Here's the solo that comes in at about 2:30:
|e---------------------------------------------------------|

|A-------------------------------------------------------------|

After Ira sings "approaches home, never slows" the first time, this two-note riff can be
heard and is played over and over again:

THE POINT OF IT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO 3RD FRET
Chords used: G, Cmaj7 (x32000), and Em
Intro: G Cmaj7 Em x2
G Cmaj7 Em
When you're screaming in my ear, what's the point of it?
G Cmaj7 Em
When you're sure no can hear or no that you're with me
G Cmaj7 Em
Say that we're afraid, say that we were wrong,
G Cmaj7 Em
Maybe that's okay, if we're not so strong,
G Cmaj7 Em
That's the point of it
When you choose to hide your eyes, take me out of here
Finding comfort in our lives, before it disappears
Say that we're afraid, say I'm not the one,
Maybe that's okay, if we're not so young,
G Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 Em Em
That's the point of it
When I'm standing next to you, that's the point of it
When there's no one but us two, that's the point of it
Say that we're afraid, say the night is cold,
G Cmaj7 Em
Honey, that's okay, if we're getting old,
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
If we're not strong, if our story's told,
Em
That's the point of being young
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Em x3
End on G.
NOTE: I'm not entirely sure, but I think there is a way to play this song without a
capo, where:
G = Bb
Cmaj7 = D#maj7 (x68786)
Em = Gm (the same chord)

Then there's this riff, which is played between the first chorus and the second verse
and, I think, throughout the whole song starting from the refrain "Take me to the place,
the lonely place":
|e---------------------------------------------------------------|
|B---3-0-3-------3-0-3-------3-0-3-----------2-----2-------------|
|G---------4-0-4-------4-0-4-------4-0-4---4-----4-----4-2-2-2---|

Here is how the trumpets, the violins, and the horns sound on the guitar:
Trumpets:
|e---------------------|
|B---------------------|
|G-------4-2-----------|
|D---0-2-----0-2-4-2---|
|A---------------------|

Violins:

|B------------------------------------|
|G------------------------------------|
|D------------------------------------|
|A------------------------------------|
|E------------------------------------|
The horns sound like the low E string in Drop D tuning, or:
|e-----------------|
|B-----------------|
|G-----------------|
|D-----------------|
|A-----------------|
|D---0-0---0-0-0---|
Lastly, here is two-chord riff in the instrumental break that starts at about 3:58 and
is played for a couple of times:
D Bm7
|e---5---2---|
|B---7---3---|
|G---7---2---|
|D---7---4---|
|A---5---2---|
|E---x-------|
