Ok, so I haven't really picked out any songs lately and I'm kind of shabby, but I figured out at least the basics of the beginning of the song. I don't have sheet music software and I can't easily describe the way it's played, but if you know the chords and play around with it you might get it. Also, feel free to correct me. When she starts singing the verses it's soooo deep that I couldn't make it out :(

Left hand: C/G, Ab/Eb, Bb/Eb
                C/G, Ab/Eb, G/Eb
                C/G, Ab/Eb, Eb/Bb^
                C/G, C/G, C/Eb (The last two might be Bb instead of C)

Right hand: C/G, C/Eb, Bb/Eb
                  C/G, Bb/C, G/Bb
                  C/G, C/F, Eb/Bb^
                  C/G, C/G, C/Eb

Umm, the left hand and right hand lines are played together obviously :) The note that she keeps hitting between them is the Bb.



jsut use the same chords as HOM- But you did a great job ;-)

Thanks steve!!! i have just a few things i think i would change/...but i could be completely wrong....

in the 2nd and 4th bar where you go C , G, Ab.....i think it goes Eb, G, Ab.....i think.

also, is the 5th bar, after you play the C and G in the right hand, instead of going down to Ab and Eb....i think its C and F....

tell me what you think, but i could be wrong :)

I'll be excited when someone transcribes the whole song bc I love this song and would like to learn it... unfortunately she goes pretty low in the verses and I can't sing that low most of the time =\ I think it's her lowest and highest song at once haha.

I just realized it is in 6/8 and not 3/4 that is why I have not been able to figure this out... So I am working on it... I just got the bridge, and most of the chorus! i have been listening to this so many times, and it was right in front of my face... alriht probably tommorow afternoon

Yeah, I used to be really good about figuring out music by ear, but the past couple years I haven't been doing it much and it's even harder with a bad recording :( Thanks a lot for doing it!

just for the sake of copy-pasting...




Beware the danger, it lurks for those who get swept away
The dreamers get punished most by the truth
They say it's all in the little ways one reveals their love's gone away
Love's gone away

When my hand was in your hand, my heart was pure
And now I see a different man, rewrite in memories
The dogs run down the beach
And all I'm left with is sand in my shoes
Sand in my shoes

'Cause fools like me
Oh, we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

And now I recall the time at the cafe
The thunderstorm outside, words you could never say
They hold the loudest tones
You say alright, but it's ink on a page
Just ink on a page

But, fools like me
Oh, we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

And tick tock, the time
Distant look grows in your eyes
And fools never ask, afraid what lurks in your mind

I always knew
Somehow always knew
I always knew the truth

'Cause fools like me
Oh, we never see
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
And it's breakin', it's breakin', it's breakin'

It's gotta break for me to see
At least I can say
I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
And I'd pick the fool any day
