  • Note from Wolfgang:The chords are correct, but the tablature part hasn't been validated.

If I could hold on to just one thought for long enough to know
B                                     F#m7            E
Why my mind is moving so fast and the conversation is slow
A                                                    E

B                          
Let me see your face again
