version 2
NO CAPO for the original but you can apply one to suit your vocal range :). You need
to tune the guitar half step down BUT alternately you can leave it
and Transpose the chords by selecting HALFSTEPDOWN on the TRANSPOSE drop down menu above ^^^^^^
and this should give you the riff of A# F Gm D# etc...
B F# Abm E
I'm tired of waking up in tears
B F# Abm E
'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
B F# Abm E
I'm new to this grief I can't explain
B F# Abm E
But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain
F# Abm B E
The fire I began is burning me alive
F# Abm E F#
But I know better than to leave and let it die
CHORUS
B F# Abm E
I'm a silhouette asking every now and then
B F# Abm E
"Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?"
B F# Abm E
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
C#m F# B Abm E
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
C#m F# B
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
VERSE 2
I'm sick of the past I can't erase
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace
The mountain of things I still regret
Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget (no matter where I go)
The fire I began is burning me alive
But I know better than to leave and let it die
I'm a silhouette asking every now and then (now and then)
"Is it over yet? Will I ever smile again?"
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
C#m F# (do not play E here)
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
Abm B E F#
Abm B
'Cause I walk alone
E F#
No matter where I go
Abm B
'Cause I walk alone
E F#
No matter where I go
Abm B
'Cause I walk alone
E F#
No matter where I go
Then B F# Abm E to the end
I'm a silhouette asking every now and then (now and then)
"Is it over yet? Will I ever love again?"
I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
I watch the summer stars to lead me home.

version 3
Key: A#/Bb
Capo: 3
G G/F# D Dsus4 D/F# C Cadd9 C6add9 Em Am
E|---3---3----0---0-----2-----0----0-----0-------0----0---|
A|---2---2----0---0-----0-----1----3-----3-------2----0---|

B|---0---3----3---3-----3-----3----3-----3-------0----1---|

Note: G/F# is a special one, (I kind of made it up ) and is difficult to swap out of this
song, but you can at the end of the intro.
Note #2: There's an odd delay in D/F#, not a mistake. The chords change where they
change on the words, finally!
(PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU THINK A CHORD IS WRONG AND I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
Someone had suggested Cmadd9 but I'm having trouble deciding.
I may just change Cadd9 to C)
