ugh the riff.

            
I'm watching y

            
ou walk as you

         
 walk that dis

tant way
            
Take that thin

            
g away from me

             
 take away mos

 
t everything
            
I couldn't say

            
 I'd blame you

              
 or you should

            
 never look in

 
 back
            
You wouldn't b

            
e to blame if 

             
you couldn't t

      
ake it back

[Chorus]
             
Hours slipping

           
 by as you wat

              
ch the worlds 

   
collide
             
Now you're not

           
hing more than

         
 another passe

rby
             
The dark it tu

             
rns to light i

            
n a distant fl

    
ash of night
             
Rolling with t

             
he tide I conf

            
ide the act we

 
 wear it thin 

again

I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords
(similar to the verse riff, but less restrained), but I play them as open
position chords to go easy on my left hand.

INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES

The other verses and choruses are played with the same riffs:

If affection holds you back then what is left to hold
If I could find the answer to that question then I'd know
The thoughts that clutter up your mind and leave me feeling drained
And walking pacing up the walls across the floor again

CHORUS:
All the things I haven't seen once the final curtain has been raised
The act we act is wering thin the act we act we under my skin
The words the words we said goodbye the words left choking in my mind
The act we act is wering thin I think we wear it out again

SOLO:  Play the verse riff under any lead you'd like :)

OUTRO CHORUSES:
Another big explosion leaving you hoping
That something that once held you down could leave you feeling on the ground
The confusion that persists decisions that you guessed
The one to stay and watch this the one you might have missed

REPEAT 2ND CHORUS

CONTINUE PLAYING CHORUS FIGURE:
Forming a conclusion
And you're left standing

PLAY INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES
End on E5 chord.
