'Vanilla Twilight' by Owl City - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: Vanilla Twilight
Song lyrics:
B F#
The stars lean down to kiss you,
Abm E
And I lie awake and miss you.
B F# Abm E
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
B F#
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
Abm E
But I'll miss your arms around me.
B F#
I'd send a postcard to you dear,
Abm E
Cause I wish you were here.

B F#
I'll watch the night turn light blue,
Abm E
But it's not the same without you
B F# Abm E
Because it takes two to whisper quietly.
B F#
The silence isn't so bad
Abm E
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
B F# Abm E
Cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit
perfectly.
(This is the little keyboard riff that goes from
"I'll find repose..." to "... I don't feel so alone.")

B F#
I'll find repose in new ways,
Abm E
Though I haven't slept in two days
B F# Abm E
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.
(play this part by barring the 7th fret of the B and e strings
with your index finger)

B F#
But drenched in vanilla twilight,
Abm E
I'll sit on the front porch all night
B F# Abm E
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you I don't feel
so alone.
C#m Abm F#
C#m Abm E
I don't feel so alone.
C#m Abm F# E
I don't feel so alone.
B F# C#m Abm E
As many times as I blink I'll think of you, tonight.
B Abm E
B E F#
B Abm E
I'll think of you tonight.
B E F#
C# Ab
When violet eyes get brighter
Bbm F#
And heavy wings grow lighter
C# Ab Bbm F#
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
C# Ab
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
Bbm F#
But I swear I won't forget you.
C# Ab Bbm
Oh, if my voice could reach back through the past
F# Ab
I'd whisper in your ear... Oh darling I wish you were here.
C# Ab Bbm F# }x8 add after second play through ^
