=================================================


Ok, here's the deal I have figured out this entire beautiful song... it's not too difficult really, 
only about 3 different things you have to learn, but since I don't have notation software and I kinda 
suck at writting out music anyway, this is what you're going to get. :-)

Your left hand plays these two chords the ENTIRE song!!!

            -0-
    0       
   ---      -0#-
    0      
  -----------0-----------------
B --0#--------------------------
A ----------------------------
S ----------------------------
S ----------------------------

I know that's hard to read but it's basically an inverted B chord (F#, B, D#) and an A chord (A, C#, E),
 played in quarter notes 1, 2, 3, 4, the whole way through.

Next up is the intro or main melody on the treble.  Since the above looks so crappy I'm just going to 
write it out, with lines between the bass chord changes and periods to give you basic note length, and 
the notes line up with the chord change below.



[intro]
            D#...C# D# | E... D# C# | D# E  D#... C# B# | C#...c
BASS CHORD: B            A            B                   A     

       B C# D#... C# D#| E... F#..  | B......
BASS CHORD: B            A            B                   A     




[verse one]
start at (0:39)
Basically play the chords alone but before you change to B each time, tap the F# above it twice in 
eighth notes, the second one landing on the chord change.  (listen to the actual song)  Also, you can 
hit the high C# on the A change sometimes.

Basically you play B, A (x 4)



[verse two]
little bit of melody playing comes in (1:05)

	F#  F#(octave up)  G#  C# 
bass:       B              A

play this TWICE, the final time it goes like this:

	F#  F#(octave up)  G#  C# ..B......C#......
bass:       B              A

leading into what i'm going to call the "chorus" (1:32)




[chorus]
Your treble melody plays
B Bb (x4)
A Ab (x4)
over the bass chords. it might sound a little better if you double up the treble part, playing the 
same note an octave above. 

do this FOUR times.



play the INTRO again starting at (1:58)

play the VERSE ONE bit again at (2:24)

go into the VERSE TWO part at (2:49)..... be aware though, i think the rhythm of the melody changes 
very slightly

play the CHORUS again (3:15)

outro: back to the VERSE ONE part at (3:40) that goes on and on and on until the END.

Lyrics:

If you're lost and feel alone
circumnavigate the globe
all you ever have to hope
or do

and the way you seem to flow
circumnavigate and hope
never seem to lose control
do you

["chorus"]

everyone of us is hurt
and everyone of us is scarred
everyone one us is scared
but you

[this part is kinda hard to make out]
when your eyes close
your hair flows
your eyes close..

["chorus"]

[outro]
everyone of us is scared
everone of us it [???]
everyone of us has hope
for you

for you... (x9)
