Verse, Guitar 1 tacet:
G
Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside
Em C A
And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive
Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you
It's getting cold in California
I guess I'll be leaving soon
Chorus:
D
Daylight fading
Em7 C
Come and waste another year
Em7 C G D
All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
D Em7 C
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
Em Asus2 C
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
D
We leave just before it's gone
Repeat intro
Verse: (where indicated, gtr. 1 plays the fills below)
She said "everybody loves you"
she says, "everybody cares"
But all the things I keep inside myself,
* (w/ fill 1)
they vanish in the air * (w/ fill 2)
If you tell me that you'll wait for me
I'll say I won't be here
I want to say goodby to you
Goodbye to all my friends
Goodbye to everyone I know
Fill 1 Fill 2

Repeat chorus, end on G
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official COUNTING CROWS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
