Fan Transcriptions

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.

@ Brilliant Trees

Am7

         Dm          Em
When you come to me
              C           C/A 
I'll question myself again
F F/E    Dm              Bb        C  Am7
     Is this grip on life still my own

         Dm            Em
When every step I take
              C           C/A 
Leads me so far away
F F/E      Dm                   Bb        C   Cm
     Every thought should bring me closer home

    Dm
And there you stand
Bb                 Am7       Cm
   Making my life possible
         Bb         Am7
Raise my hands up to heaven
         Bm        F#m7
But only you could know
   Bm         Em   G              F#m7
My whole world stands in front of me
       D/A              D#m
By the look in your eyes
       D/A    E    F#m7 
By the look in your eyes
Bm        Em  G                      F#m7
My whole life stretches in front of me
D                        D#m 
Reaching up like a flower
           Bm       Am7     Dm
Leading my life back to the soil

Em    C   C/A  F  F/E   Dm   Bb  C  Am7

Every plan I've made's
Lost in the scheme of things
Within each lesson lies the price to learn

A reason to believe
Divorces itself from me
Every hope I hold lies in my arms

And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know

My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
           Bm       Am7     
Leading my life back to the soil
