Bright Eyes
Text File
bright eyes
standard tuning
im wide awake its morning
tabbed by mark sheary
im not sure when there are question marks but its close.
Intro - Bm
Bm
well I�m changing all my strings
E
I�m gonna write another travellin song
Bm
about all the billion highways
F#
and the cities at the break of dawn
Bm
well I guess the best that I can do now
E
is pretend that I�ve done nothing wrong
F#
and dream about a train that�s gonna
Bm
take me back where I belong
Bm
now the ocean speaks and spits
E
and I can hear it from the interstate
Bm
and I�m screaming at my brother
F#
on the cell phone, he is far away
Bm
and I�m sayin� nothing in the past
E
or future ever will feel like today
F#
until we�re parkin in an alley,
Bm
just hopin that our shit is safe
E Bm
so I go back and forth forever
E Bm
all my thoughts, they come in pairs
E Bm?
well I will I won�t I doubt I don�t I�m not surprised
Bm
But I never feel quite prepared (woo!)
-Bm-
DEAD STRUMMING --
Now I�m hunched over a typewriter
I guess you�d call that paintin� in a cave
And there�s a word I can�t remember
and a feeling I can not escape
And now my ashtray�s overflowin
I�m still starin at a clean white page
F#
And morning�s at my window
Bm
and she is sending me to bed again
Bm
Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,
E
I dreamed a desert where the dead layed down
F#
I dreamed a prostituted child
Bm?
touching an old man in a fast food crown
Bm
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin�,
E
there was people screamin� all around
F#
And I awoke to my alarm clock,
Bm
it was a pop song, it was playin� loud
E Bm
So I will find my fears and face them
E Bm
Or I will cower like a dog
E Bm?
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
Bm
I will fight like hell to hide that I�m giving up
-Bm-
