[urmomiswires]

THANK YOU SO MUCJ this is the first time I've ever learned a part of a song that wasn't just chords :D this was super fun to learn and im super excited to play it in full soon thank you again

[billtravis]

Marty - you're the best! I was looking up this tune to see if I could figure some of it out (now that I'm through Lesson 3 in your Electric Guitar YT series and am practicing far more than 5 mins/day.
But here you are teaching it. Yay! Now I'm really stoked for tomorrow's lesson session to get to work on this. It'll be over my head, but keeps me motivated and having fun...because "It's guitar", right? Your singing along with the notes brings joy too. When I'm finding a note which I intend to play, vocalizing that sound aloud keeps me from getting lost on the fretboard. Complicated, but satisfying.

Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream", she said
"The one that makes me laugh", she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
"Why are you so far away?", she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you?"
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must've been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and lonely
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
