Attention guitar players:
Tune your low  E string to D for this song. The chords for the verses
apply only to the piano player. You would just play a rhythm in Dm.

                       Piano intro:
The second D in this scale is an ocative higher than the first D.


  D  (D)  D  A  D  G  D  F  D  E  D  F  D  F  E  C  D


       The band kicks in once and awhile with a Dm




 Dm                   Am/Dm       Dm                             Am/Dm
      An offering of reasons.          ....



 Dm                  Am/Dm                 Dm                    Am/Dm
      A covering of treasons.         That one ....



 (Bridge)


    Gm               Dm              Gm                    Dm
        A solitary dancer.               So ...


 (Chorus)


    Bb         C                       Dm     C    Bb
    I  have   seen  you  on  .....

              C                        Dm   C      Bb
    Felt you here before               ....

                    C                   Dm     C    Bb
    Balanced your dreams upon .....

                                             Dm
            But I don't think ...




                   (Verse 2)

A study made from winter. Of summers ....

                    (Bridge 2)
And so we end the chapter. And ....


                        (Repeat chorus)


 Guitar riff:   D  A  G  F  E  E  F  E D  (8x)


 This is the pattern behind the first solo:   C   Am  C  Dm   (4x)

 Then it goes back to Dm for the bass riff. When the drums kick in the notes
 notes are:

  D   E   F   E   (if you want to play chords instead use  Dm  Em  F  Em)


             Coming out of the solo the guitar and bass play:


  A  G  F  E  (3x)   The fourth pattern is:    A  G  F  E  A   (Then Dm)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Repeat the chorus and then go back into the  Dm   Am/Dm   pattern  used
  for the verses. Zach sings over this pattern:

        "I don't think about you...I don't think about you" etc...

                             Anymore!


         Repeat piano intro and end the song in Dm
