Morning comes too early,

and nighttime falls too late.

Am/C E GaddA G(1) C(1)

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 !

I know it's easier to walk away, than look it in the eye.

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.

Am G(2) C(2) Dsus4(2) G(1)

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