NOTES: I tried to tab out the lead parts as good as I could. I am about
       80% positive that this is somewhat correct. The strumming pattern
       isn't shown... Ok, here it is...

song structure
intro
  i can't remember the time or place, 
  or what you were wearing, 
  it's unclear about how we met, 
  all i know it was the best conversation that i've ever had, 
verse
  to this day i never found someone, 
  with eyes as wide as yours, 
  i've been searching up and down this coast, 
  overlooking what i need the most 

pre-chorus
  did you notice i was afraid? 
  i thought i'd run out of things to say, 
  two more hours until today burns this away, 
  and it starts all over again, 
chorus - 2x
  the sky will never look the same again, 
  till you show me how it could be, 
  the sky will never look the same again, 
  till you show me how it could be 

post-chorus
  and everything else is irrelevant, 
  to the story so far, 
verse
  a coincidence that you look like her from a far, 
  is it true that you like to sleep alone? 
  or is it what you just tell everyone? 

pre-chorus
chorus - 2x
interlude 

bridge
  and when the world turns over 
  ill keep my ears to the wall 
  and when the world turns over 
  ill keep my feet straight on the ground
