Standard Tuning

!!!!!!!!Capo on the 4th Fret!!!!!!!!

TABBED BY: Mike Byers(VisualSerenade)

SORRY IF THIS IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, IT'S DIFFICULT TO TAB

OUT HOW I PLAY THIS SONG, BUT THIS IS THE CLOSEST I COULD COME

TO SHOWING YOU, WITHOUT ACTUALLY SHOWING YOU.

NOTE: The bass/root note for the Verse is what I will base the

"chord" off of for the lyrics, except the last part where it

goes up on the G-string(haha) from 2 to 4 to 6, I will base it off

the highest note and it will have a "^" to indicate it's not the

root note.

VERSE 1

D(before singing starts; goes into the singing)

Heart in mine,

VERSE 2

Remember the days when we would drive,

Into the night we'd watch the skies, of summer,

So full, of colour and,

Remember the days when waves would roll,

Up on the beach to touch our toes,

On soft sand,

My hand, in yours and your

CHORUS 2

Heart in mine,

Even in the hardest time,

Don't you know I'm always right here

When you're feeling lost

Don't give up because,

It's alright,

When you close your eyes,

I'm by your side

Laying flat on our backs

We stared up at the sky

We were laughing so hard,

We had tears in our eyes

Our future's before us

Our worries behind,

Just you and I
