You can actually play the tune and the chords at the same time if you're a bit creative!


Verse:

 A minorAm
I know the old patterns
     A minorAm
because I live by the sea,
        A minorAm
and what I translate in water,
  A minorAm
it won't come back to haunt me.
    A minorAm
So cut another pattern to
    A minorAm
make a suitable friend of me,
       A minorAm
and in your illumination
 A minorAm
is your apology.

Pre-chorus:

A minorAm
What we keep of last night while we sleep.
D5D5
It's what we keep of last night while we sleep.


Chorus:

   D5D5
And I watch your grave be written all over your face,
    D5D5
on the longest day, when midnight tries to take my place.
        D5D5
As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave,
   D5D5
It should have passed like hours, passed like years, felt like days.


Verse 2:

    A minorAm
And you live in the shadows
    A minorAm
of the evenings you mislead,
            A minorAm
but they're too real to be forgotten,
     A minorAm
if you choose the right company.
        A minorAm
And I run each finger through the dust
     A minorAm
and only through your hair in sleep
                A minorAm
but it's like the first breath in the morning,
    A minorAm
and it brings the past back to me.


Pre-chorus:

A minorAm
What we keep of last night while we sleep.
   D5D5
It depends what we keep of last night while we sleep.


Chorus:

   D5D5
And I watch your grave be written all over your face,
    D5D5
on the longest day, I watch people fight to take my place.
        D5D5
As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave,
   D5D5
It should have passed like years, passed like hours, lost in days.

Solo:

The solo isn't played on guitar (although neither is the main riff!) but I've tabbed it
anyway for anyone interested:
