VERSE 1
********
Bm    G      D       A
  When I think of it now that it`s done
    Bm    G       D    A
How it might`ve gone without a place to belong
Bm    G       D     A
  I can see we played into their hands
     Bm     G       D      A
And they picked our bones until we proved them wrong

CHORUS
********
B    E   A
  It`s only a moment
  F#m     G      E      A   B
The minutes and hours, they fly from me now as then
   E     A
It`s all in the detail
   G     F#m    E      A    Bm
I`ve been here before but still don`t remember when

    Bm    G      D    A  [--9----11----|-----------]
And the change began to gather over the bend [-------------|-----------]
Bm      G    D        A   [-------------|-----------]
  There was always a chance it would come  [-------------|-----------]
    Bm    G       D   A

This sounds like a Steve Hackett solo.

SOLO 1 He uses a vol on some notes, i,ll mark them with a * for what i think
******* he uses the vol. This would be better with a Vol pedal.
