Somewhere In The Between
INTRO:
C Em
C G Am Dm C G (|mute
C G Am F C G C
C G Am
You were gone when we found you
Dm C G
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped
C G Am F
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
C G C
When they saw the look of love in your eyes
C G
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
Am
And everything else was part of the plan
Dm C G
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
C G Am F
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
C G C
And we all just idolize the dead
C G Am
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Dm C G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
C G Am F
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
C G C
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
C G Am
You had a love and that love had you
Dm C G
And nothing mattered, you were fine
C G Am F
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame
C G C
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all
C G
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
Am
And everything else was part of our path
Dm C G
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
C G Am F
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
C G C
And we all just idolize the dead
C G Am
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Dm C G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
C G Am F
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
C G C
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
C G
Yeah, the times we had, they were not that bad
Am
And everything else, that was part of the plan
Dm C G
And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"
C G Am F
This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!
C G C
And we all just idolize the dead
C G Am
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Dm C G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
C G Am F
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
C G C
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
But we can't just get in line again.

Notes:
*the whole song should be played at a slow-medium tempo -- take your time and enjoy the song.
*the introduction is highly stylized. tom puts lots of little fills between chord
sequences. try some!
*tom plays a lick during the intro and several times in the song between chords Am
G and F that looks something like this:
Am G F
e|------------|
B|----------1-|
G|---2--0--2--|
D|--2--2--3---|
A|-0----------|
E|----3--1----|
basically it's just a walk down from the A to the F. not super difficult. kind of quick.
maybe finger pick it?
*the second verse is played as follows:
C / / C/B / / Am7 / / G / / F / / G# / / C / / G
|--------------------------------------------------|
|-1-----1-------1-------------1-----4------5-----3-|
|-0-----0-------0------0------2-----5------5-----4-|
|-2-----0------(2)-----0------3-----6------5-----5-|
|-3-----2-------0------2------3-----6------3-----5-|
|----------------------3------1-----4------3-----3-|
protip: add some panache. strum these chords with confidence and rhythm.
*the end is played kind of like this:
C G C (rit.)

you need further clarification. The chords follow the intro throughout the
song, except for the second verse, which is very similar but the chord
progression changes to:
