VERSE 1:
      F          D                      Am
There was a time my world belonged with you,
      F         D            Am
But I was so misguided in my youth.
           F        D                 Am
I couldn't help but drink this poison brew,
        F         D                 Am
You had a strange perception of the truth.


PRE-CHORUS 1:
    F         D      Am
Oh, baby, I remember you,
Am        F   G      Am
Oh, baby, I remember yo-oo-ou.


Bridge 1:
|C  F|G   D|


CHORUS 1:
       F             G                        Am
'Cause your heart is cold and your blood runs dry,
       C/G           F        D               Am
You'll never see, or hear the crashing of the sea.
            F        G         Am
The tempest rise, it stops all time,
     C/G    F        G            D
When lovers eyes are locked in harmony.


Bridge 2:
|F  D|Am   | (Fuzz Lead Over)


VERSE 2:
      F          D          Am
I was aware that danger lay ahead,
      F             D                   Am
And I couldn't bare this stranger in my head.
                   F                   D
Well, you've got a face, (you've got a face),
                   Am
Well, you've got a soul.


VERSE 3:
       F           D                   Am
Oh, he ain't got nothing, not even our hope.
          F      D           Am
I gave it a try, a long time ago,
         F
And your fate was designed,
D              Am
But you didn't know.


PRE-CHORUS 2:
F         D          Am
Oh, baby, I remember you-,
Am
Ou-oo-,


Bridge 3:
|C/G  F|G   D|
Ou-oo!


CHORUS 2:
            F        G                        Am
'Cause your heart is cold and your blood runs dry,
       C/G           F        D               Am
You'll never see, or hear the crashing of the sea.
            F        G         Am
The tempest rise, it stops all time,
     C/G    F        G            D
When lovers eyes are locked in harmony.

You'll never hear, or feel the crashing of the sea.

NOTES:
1.  Although, this TAB is scored with standard chords, the verse lines have morphing chords played with
alternating fingering on Am and D.  Where Am = Am11 (up) - Am (down, down); D = D3add4 (up) - D (down, down).
2.  If there is an interest, I'll do my best to TAB the Lead, as it has a distinctive ?NO? ring?
3.  ??09/23/2015:  Against all odds, new-wave greats New Order have returned for a 10th studio album
that lives up to the band?s formidable past. From the first notes of shimmering first single ?Restless,?
it's clear we're dealing with the classic New Order sound, as the band returns to the more electronic
(and current, frankly) sound of their late-?80s and early-?90s work. ??
