Dsus4 Cadd9
Morning comes too early,
and nighttime falls too late.
Am/C E GaddA G(1) C(1)
And sometimes all I want to do is wait.
Am/C E GaddA G(1) D(1) D6 Am7
The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today.
Cmaj7 D(2) D(1) D6 Em7
I know it's easier to walk away than look in in the eye.
Am G(2) C(2)
And I will raise a shelter to the sky.
Am G(2) C(2)
And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie.
Am G(2) C(2) Dsus4(2)
She will slowly yield the light as I awaken from the longest

But in the end he only sees the change, light to dark

Solo: Requires a single slap-back delay of ~200-300 ms. My timing isn't
good enough to get it sounding right, or indeed work out exactly
what is being played. What's below is a rough idea of what I think
is going on. To confuse matters even further it sounds as though
there are regular pull-offs onto the open G. Knowing what John
Petrucci is capable of, he probably didn't even use a delay !

Am G(2) C(2)
But I have given all that I could take.
Am G(2) C(2)
And now I've only habits left to break.

Tonight I'll still be lying here, surrounded in all the light.
