Chords :

F        - 1 1 2 3 x x              Fsus2    - 1 1 0 3 x x

Bbsus2/D - 1 1 3 0 x x              Bbsus2/F - 1 1 3 3 x x

Bbsus2/E - 1 1 3 2 x x              C7/E     - 0 1 3 2 x x

 

So, if you divide the main Riff in 4 parts:

F Fsus2 F (quick pull off)

Bbsus2/D

Bbsus2/F

Bbsus2/E (1st part) C7/E Bbsus2/E C7/E (quick hammer)

Play the main Riff for each line

 

20,000 seconds since you've left and I'm still counting.

And 20,000 reasons to get up, get something done.

But I'm still waiting.  Is someone

Kind enough to pick me up and give me food, assure me that the world is good?

But you should be here, you should be here.

 

How colors can change and even the texture of the rain.

And what's that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor.

I'd rather not deal with that right now.

I'd rather be floating in space somewhere or

Worry about the ozone layer.

 

And it's almost like a corny movie scene.

But I'm out of frame and the lighting's bad,

And the music has no theme.

And we're all so strong when nothing's wrong

And the world is at our feet.

But how small we are when our love is far away

And all you need is you.

But you should be here, you should be here.

 

How colors can change and even the texture of the rain.

What's that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor?

I'd rather not deal without right now.

I'd rather be floating in space

Somewhere or worry about the ozone layer

 

And it's almost like a corny movie scene.

Well I'm out of frame and the light is bad and the music has no theme.

And we're all so strong when nothings wrong and the world is at our feet.

But how small we are when our love is so far away.

When all you need is you.
