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

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.
