Hints:On the E/A chord try fretting the E chord using middle,
ring and little finger and then bending knuckle on little finger
to try and fret the A chord (it sounds like an E sus chord but its fairly close).

Also use your thumb to fret the bass(bottom E) string on the open string chords
which will help you to move up and down the fret board quickly.
The intro and the chorus only use the A/E chord so playing along to the CD
will help you with the rhythmn.


Intro. E/A

A          G#m                F#m          E/A
maybe its alright things are changing all around me
A        G#m                 F#m             E/A
even the night time doesn't seem to last as long
A                G#m                 F#m               E/A
and the simplest things they're all sent here to confound me
A          G#m       F#m            E/A
I open my eyes and another day has gone


C#m                           B
even my friends they're all starting to lose their patience
      D                                  C#m
because they can’t pretend they haven't noticed something’s wrong
                          B
and I don’t wish to seem ungrateful or ungracious
         D                                   C#m
when you say that life’s too short while I'm thinking it's too long
        B
it's too long


            E/A
sometimes I wish that my heart

would stop beating for a while

close my eyes make me smile

it's only a ticking in the darkness

that keeps me from my dream

to do what I do

and be who I've been


A            G#m           F#m                   E/A
maybe its alright that so many have been forgotten
A         G#m                           F#m                 E/A
even the light is only searching for somewhere that it can rest
  A                       G#m          F#m                E/A
and each new thing that’s born will of course one day be rotten
    A               G#m            F#m              E/A
it's got nothing to do with who is cursed or who is blessed


C#m                          B
even my friends they're all starting to lose their patience
      D                                 C#m
because they can’t pretend they haven't noticed something’s wrong
                             B
and I don’t wish to seem ungrateful or ungracious
         D                                   C#m
when you say that life’s too short while I'm thinking it's too long
         B
it's too long


E/A
sometimes I wish that my heart
would stop beating for a while
close my eyes make me smile
it's only a ticking in the darkness
that keeps me from my dream
to do what I do
and be who I've been


A
and there's a light shining far away
       Am
and it gets a little brighter day by day
   F#     F
by day by day


           E/A
sometimes I wish that my heart
would stop beating for a while
close my eyes make me smile
it's only a ticking in the darkness
that keeps me from my dream
to do what I do
and be who I've been

I said to do what I do
and be who I've been
