Most of these tabs have been collected from the now defunct Unofficial Blue Nile Website. At some point I should make a link to a downloadable version.

Cm9
I found the way

By the sound of your voice
                   G#
So many things to say
                    Fm7
But these are only words
               Gm7
Now I've only words
                       Cm9
Once there was a choice

Cm9
Did I give you much?

Well you gave me things

You gave me stars to hold
             Fm7
Songs to sing
       Cm9
I only want to be loved

And I hurt and I hurt
                      G#
And the damage is done
             Fm7
You gave me songs to sing
Gm7
Shadow and sun
     Fm7    Gm7-5add11 Gm7
Earthbound, starblind
Cm9
Tied to someone

Why didn't I stay?

   Why couldn't I?

So many lives to cross

Well I just had to leave
                    Cm9
There goes everything

Everything

Cm9
Can I meet you there?

God knows the place
                    G#
And I'll touch your hand

Kiss your face
        Cm9
We only want to be loved

We only want to be loved
       Gm7
I only want to be loved
Cm9
And I hurt and I hurt
                  G# 
And the damage is done
             Fm7
You gave me songs to sing
Gm7
Shadow and sun
     Fm7    Gm7-5add11 
Earthbound, starblind
Cm9
Tied to someone

****************************************************
There is no guitar part on the original and so
the chords are based on what I hear.
For a solo guitar version I find a combination
of picked and single chord strums works best.
Experiment and discover which works best for you.
