Really love this song, so thought i'd tab it out rather than leave as a note in my music book.

Not sure of the third chord here, sounds close as a at 8th fret.
Intro: D/F/C/G (riff pattern)
D F C
I'm being followed by my shadow; he's been creeping around,
G
asking where I've been
D F C
He keeps tapping on my shoulder, telling me its over,
G
so where do I begin?
(riff pattern with extra notes)
D F C
These dark days are getting harder, I feel I'm treading water,
G
so will sink or swim?
D F C
Roll on, push a little further, I keep saying is this worth it,
G D
or should I just give in? I don't know..
D F C G (palm muted)
I don't know which way I'm supposed to spin, in this circle
And I won't waste my time on your concern, till its over
Solo: D/C/G/G
D C G G
I look back on a distant border, I fear I'm getting older, There's so much that I missed
Walk on following a faint line, see if I can define, where I came undone
D F C G (palm muted)
I don't know which way I'm supposed to spin, in this circle
And I won't waste my time on your concern,till it's over
D F C G
And I will wait my turn, my time will come, This ain't over
And I can't wait no more, no sweet return, This is over
D C C(8th) G
So it is - No sweet return, So it is - No sweet return
So it is - No sweet return, So it is - No sweet return
This is over....
