   [this part is probably both guitar 2 and bass at <br/>


   one point or another, but this is the part that's there]<br/>


 <br/>


 [Play tbis tbrougb tbe 1st verse:]<br/>


  <br/>


 This distance outside of you (I find in you) [maybe]                           <br/>


 comes into focus, collapses away lovingly<br/>


 and hands to the glass and eyes to the sky<br/>


 moves to the south, she waits to see<br/>


 She's looking for birds she met last fall<br/>


 said they would come back different than all<br/>


 She's waiting for six who know about sound<br/>


 if we promise to come back upside down<br/>


 [Here, some soaring sound effects come in that<br/>


  I personally like a lot]<br/>


 <br/>


 [The next section of the verses brings in a <br/>


  different guitar 2 part...keep playing the main riff<br/>


  along with this part...]<br/>

 <br/>


 And i like your raindrop collector<br/>


 splash in my eyes and makes everything else<br/>


 look like you<br/>


 So hand me the glasses and teach me to use<br/>


 them, show me the window<br/>


 i wanna look too <br/>
