NOTE: I prefer playing this song using Barre chords as there are some
      slides used in the song and also it is easier to use those then
      open chords in some of the parts. However, the choice is yours.


INTRO: To me there are two guitars playing the INTRO.
       GUITAR 1 is playing chords while GUITAR 2 is
       playing notes. However, I did offer an
       ALTERNATIVE so you can play it on one guitar.

VERSE:
                       sl.
E                    E / F   F#m
I feel the daylight slipping
            F#       B           C#m
The summer sunshine winding down
C#m                           A
 I feel the warmth escaping another time, another ??town
              sl.
E           E / F  F#m
 I was redirected
   F#            B          C#m
A radio silence tuned me in
C#m                          A                  B  B C#m
 I felt moreâ??connected than anywhere I`ve ever been


CHORUS:
 C#m    A    E
Half a day ahead
        B       G#     C#m
Where night and day collide
          A   E           B     G#     C#m
Nothing chan-ges between sunset and sunrise
A         E                  B      G#    C#m
 Side-by-side, we watch our future come alive
C#m     A    E
Half a day ahead

VERSE:

E             E / F   F#m
 City full of water
         F#     B           C#m
Islands drift into the skies
C#m                     A
The reflected skyline, everlasting, old and wise

                        sl.
E                     E / F  F#m
 I`m thankful for my sisters
         F#      B        C#m
Oh, my brothers take me in
C#m                           A                       B  B C#m
Slow me down a little, sing, `Open up your heart and win`


CHORUS:

Nothing chan-ges between sunset and sunrise
A         E                  B      G#    C#m
 Side-by-side, we watch our future come alive
