Chord/Tab song: Somewhere in the Between

Somewhere in the Between (acoustic AP show version)

gotta say i really love the way tom plays this song

standard tuning (EADGBe)


[C] [E7] [Am] [Dm] [Am] [G]
[C] [E7] [Am] [G] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
you were [C]gone[E7]
when we [Am]found you
you were [Dm]practically [Am]surrounded, you were [G]trapped
but the [C]opposition [E7]stalled, the [Am]blood [G]ran [F]cold
[C]when they saw the [G]look of love in your [C]eye[G]

maybe the [C]times we had they [E7]weren't that bad
and [Am]everything else was part of the plan
and we [Dm]sang "i [C]don't know [G]where we go"
from the [C]alpha, the [E7]omega, the [A]beginning [G]and the [F]end
and we [C]all just [G]idolize the [C]dead[G]

so you were [C]born[E7] and that was a [Am]good day
and [Dm]someday you'll [C]die and that is a [G]shame
yeah but [C]somewhere in the [E7]between you'll live a [Am]life of [G]which we all [F]dream
and [C]nothing and no-one will [G]ever take that [C]away[G]

[C] [E7] [Am] [Dm] [Am] [G]
[C] [E7] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
you had a [C]love
[C/B] and that [Am7]love had [G]you
[F] and nothing [G#]mattered you were [C]fine[G]
[C]some wil[C/B]l complain they're just [Am7]bitter what a [G]shame
they know that [F]loving and losing is [G#]better than nothing at [C]all

may-be the [C]times we had they [E7]weren't that bad
and [Am]everything else was part of the plan
and we [Dm]sang "i [Am]don't know [G]where we go"
from the [C]anthem the [E7]slogan the [Am]summary [G]of [F]events
and we [C]all just [G]idealize the [C]past[G]

so you were [C]born[E7] and that was a [Am]good day
and [Dm]someday you will [Am]die and that is a [G]shame
yeah but [C]somewhere in the [E7]between you'll live a [Am]life of [G]which we all [F]dream
and [C]nothing and no-one will [G]ever take that [C]away

[C] [E7] [Am] [Dm] [Am] [G]
[C] [E7] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
[C]yeah someday soon my f[E7]riend this [Am]life will [G]come to an [F]end
but we c[C]an't just [G]get in line [C]again[G][C]

Notes:
the whole song should be played at a slow-medium tempo -- take your time and enjoy the song.
the introduction is highly stylized. tom puts lots of little fills between chord
sequences. try some!
tom plays a lick during the intro and several times in the song between chords Am
G and F that looks something like this:

[Am] [G] [F]

e|------------|
B|----------1-|
G|---2--0--2--|
D|--2--2--3---|
A|-0----------|
E|----3--1----|

basically it's just a walk down from the A to the F. not super difficult. kind of quick.
maybe finger pick it?
the second verse is played as follows:

[C] [/] [/] [C/B] [/] [/] [Am7] [/] [/] [G] [/] [/] [F] [/] [/] [G#] [/] [/] [C] [/] [/] [G]

|--------------------------------------------------|
|-1-----1-------1-------------1-----4------5-----3-|
|-0-----0-------0------0------2-----5------5-----4-|
|-2-----0------(2)-----0------3-----6------5-----5-|
|-3-----2-------0------2------3-----6------3-----5-|
|----------------------3------1-----4------3-----3-|

protip: add some panache. strum these chords with confidence and rhythm.
the end is played kind of like this:

C G C (rit.)

|------------------|
|----------------1-|
|----0----------0--|
|---2-----0----2---|
|-3------2---3-----|
|------3-----------|

again just kind of a little walk uphill. not fast. take yr time. or change the end to
suit yr own playing skill/style!
