Keeping Me Awake Tarkio
Keeping Me Awake by Tarkio
Standard E Tuning
Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: E Emaj7 A x4
[E]Summer it [Emaj7]came, like a l[A]ight across the highlands
[E]And we [Emaj7]laid it d[A]own
[E]You wore a [Emaj7]dress made of l[A]ight from the islands
[E]And we sent p[Emaj7]ostcards home[A]
E Emaj7 A x2
In dying light, this was not to be forgotten
As we are chosen few
Into the sea, with a touch as soft as cotton
Beneath this angel moon
Chorus
[F#m]It's been keeping me [B]awake
[E]Leaving this [Emaj7]behind was my first [A]mistake
[F#m]And I'm not so st[B]rong
To be [E]satisfied by [Emaj7]all the thi[A]ngs I've done
[F#m]And the things I threw a[B]way...
E Emaj7 A x2
You wrote your name as we lay among the heather
Of what you left behind
Following past, that would lead us both together
And let us lose our minds
Chorus
[F#m]It's been keeping me [B]awake
[E]Leaving this [Emaj7]behind was my first [A]mistake
[F#m]And I'm not so st[B]rong
To be [E]satisfied by [Emaj7]all the thi[A]ngs I've done
[F#m]Or the things I threw aw[B]ay...
E Emaj7 A x2
Summer it fell, and it coursed across the highlands
And so quickly gone
Your faded dress for years now tied away and silent
And as the nights lay low
Chorus
[F#m]It's been keeping me [B]awake
[E]Leaving this [Emaj7]behind was my first [A]mistake
[F#m]And I'm not so st[B]rong
To be [E]satisfied by [Emaj7]all the thi[A]ngs I've done
[F#m]Or the things I threw aw[B]ay...
[E] [Emaj7] The thi[A]ngs I threw away
[E] [Emaj7] The thi[A]ngs I threw away
[E] [Emaj7] The thi[A]ngs I threw away
