NOTES:
The chords are played on a keyboard; there is no real guitar part until later.
But here are the chords that you can play.

Timing is 4/4. Play slowly and very softly (lento e pianissimo).


INTRO:
Notes:
The INTRO chord figure is also played, where indicated, in the VERSES.
(See bar lines)

B    799877
A    577655 

[play: | C#m B | A B |]  [x2]


VERSE:
Chords:

B    799877
A    577655

       | C#m     B      | A        B |
When you get out   of the hospital, 

C#m      B              A
  Let me back into your life
        C#m            B          A
I can't stand what you do, I'm in love with your eyes


VERSE:
Chords:

And when you get out   of the dating bar

        C#m         B              A
I'll be here to get back into your life
        C#m            B          A
I can't stand what you do, I'm in love with your eyes


CHORUS:
Notes:
This is a fast keyboard figure based on C#m and B. I've indicated here
how the chords might be played (the timing). These might be easier to play
on an electric than an acoustic. However, you might be better off playing
single notes until the last line of the chorus...?

Listen to the CHORUS!

      | C#m      B       | A     B |
I go to bakeries   all day long

          C#m     B               A
There's a lack of sweetness in my life
             C#m    B             A
And there is pain inside, you can see it in my eyes

             [CHORUS chord figure]
Oh,  there is pain inside, you can see it in my eyes

        [CHORUS chord figure]
Makes me think about me that I've lost my pride

  | C#m     B       | A         B |
You live in   modern apartments

      | C#m      B            | A     B |
Well, I even got scared once or twice

            C#m              B                  A
Last time I walked down your street, there were tears in my eyes

               | C#m             B     | A     B |
Well, now, these streets, we all know,

           | C#m             B          | A     B |
They help us cry when we're alone late at night

          C#m       B                   A
Don't you love them too? That where you got your eyes?
