VERSE:
Remember the
time we were b
oth eye to eye
And we both kn
ew the reasons
why
Seemed like we
faced the wor
ld on our own
Before we col
lide can we ju
st take a mome
nt
Collecting ref
lections of th
is
And remember t
he paths that
we chose
CHORUS:
Spring lied t
o us this year
again
Can't stand t
o face the fea
r again
You could alw
ays laugh abou
t those things
It's enough t
o make a man f
eel sour
Burning minut
es every day b
y the hour
Just to end u
p gone like ev
erything else

VERSE:
Let go of the
pain, hold on
to the rhythm
It's conscious
ly held back i
n you
You're drownin
g a sorrow tha
t's long been
at rest
The past is a
hell, it can
creep up insid
e you
So let me remi
nd you of this
There's a reas
on your troubl
es exist
CHORUS:
Spring lied to
us again this
year
Still I can't
stand to face
the fear
Will you alway
s laugh about
those things
It's enough t
o make a man s
tay humble
Everyday is j
ust a new chan
ce to stumble
Just to end u
p gone like ev
erything else
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE:
If ever a tim
e comes around
in the wheel
To replace whe
re we stand si
de by side
We'll be ready
and able to f
ly
Away from the
mire
And the sensel
ess decisions
of somebody's
wasted desire
Through the sm
oke and the wi
nd and the fir
e
CHORUS:
Spring lied to
us this year
again
Can't stand to
face the fear
again
You could alwa
ys laugh about
those things
It's enough to
make a man fe
el sour
Burning minut
es every day b
y the hour
Just to end u
p gone like ev
erything else
==========================================
INSTRUMENTAL: (2 minutes 30 seconds long)
- Play 11x’s -
NOTE:
At this point Billy Strings is basically picking notes
and soloing and not really playing chords.
However to me the simplest way to get through this part
is to alternate between the Em and D chord which works
for me playing along at this part.
Since there are just too many chord changes at this point
and no markers to identify where the changes occur to place
these chords you would have to listen for when those changes
are made.
Another option is to play the Verse and Chorus chords if
playing this song yourself or improvising a solo.
Please do not rate this tab down because of this part because
as stated this is a CHORD tab and does not require a TAB of this
SOLO.
=============================================
Play this right before entering with the VERSE:
