hi guys! so , i’ve been trying to play this for weeks now , and it was really
bothering me that the only tab on here just wasn’t right , but i couldn’t figure it
out . then i realized . . . two of the chords were the wrong way round! so here is the
( in my opinion ) correct version of the song – hope you guys enjoy , and please rate! : 3
intro : Bm D G G/F# Em Bm A
verse 1 :
Bm D G
i’m half remembered , halfway across the world ,
G/F#
twice removed from my second home ,
Em Bm
a shadow of a ghost in an old haunt ,
A
with a lease on life ’cause i can’t afford to own ,
Bm D
when being young starts getting old ,
G G/F#
a new place saves face or so i’m told ,
Em
i’ll be the new kid on an old block ,
Bm A
a chalk outline on a playground black top .
chorus :
Bm D
i’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by ,
G A
we could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight ,
Bm D
i’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by ,
G A
and they can speak our names in a dead language ’cause you and i ,
Bm
we’re alive , but just for a moment .
verse 2 :
Bm D
i’m twice the man that i thought i was yesterday ,
G G/F#
half the time i’m a world away ,
Em Bm
a flicker of a soul casting silhouettes ,
A
on the face of a town that could not get me to stay ,
Bm
when the spark’s gone ,
D G G/F#
former lovers just looking for a bus to throw me under ,
Em
i’ll be the new kid on an old block ,
Bm A
a chalk outline on a playground black top .
chorus :
Bm D
i’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by ,
G A
we could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight ,
Bm D
i’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by ,
G A
and they can speak our names in a dead language ’cause you and i ,
G
we’re alive , but just for a moment ,
A G A
just for a moment .
bridge :
