For so long I was out in the cold,
      C                  Am                  Bm
and I taught myself to believe every story I told.
       Em                   Em/D                   C
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun,
                       Cmaj7             G---G7---C/G---Am/G---G

       Em                      Em/D                    C
It was fun shooting out at the stars, looking into the sun,
                       Cmaj7             G
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.

to the memories from afar.
C    F#m                     B7         Em

we remember who we are.

Note:

This Transcript stays true to the bass notes played over various chords!With 
sheetmusic & songbooks not always providing chord voicing which,(in the beginning) 
is the way I learned chords, in search of how to find/figure out the fingering of 
chords by just seeing/being given the name of that chord, I got lucky one night 
while on a roll working with a chord book that contained exactly the information I 
was looking for along with this information.

"You will find that some of the chords have exactly the same notes as other chords 
named differently. For example: C6 contains (C-E-G-A), which are the same notes 
(when inverted) as those contained in the Am7 chord (A-C-E-G). In cases like this 
the correct naming of a chord usually can be decided by determining the lowest 
note sounded in the music (the bass note)".

___
In closing, the bass note doesn't always immediately & neccessarily reveal the 
chord to be played, for example: "C/G" or "D/F#", but it's the information above 
witch (over the years) has been and continues to be enormously instrumental in 
letting me know I'm on the right track when sitting down to figure out chords to 
songs I work on, also, depending on the artist & provided a CD sells, I (to this 
day), continue with the method of allowing myself the 4-8 months it takes for the 
songbook to follow the release of a new CD to pick up the chords by ear, then 
compare notes with the songbook once it's put out, and YES!, 95-97% of the time, 
we've come up with the same or simular chords.

Good luck to all and keep rockin'
