Tuning:

Version 2 Chords done by ear. A few notes: Verse 1 - you can just pluck these since the drums don't begin until Verse 2. If playing alone that's a good way to have a similar effect. Pre Chorus - I play that Em with just the 2nd fret on the D string. It sounds more like the song that way. Intro - Single notes only Em C G

^EmWhen the slo^Cw parade went pas^Gt ^EmWhen it felt^C so good you kne^Gw it couldn't last ^EmAnd all too ^Csoon the end was^G gonna come without a warning ^EmAnd you'd ha^Cve to just go hom^Ge

Verse 2

^EmAnd the way^C it all went by^G ^EmAnd somebod^Cy said "come on^G its getting late" ^EmAnd you thou^Cght the world might e^Gnd if you just loo^F#ked the other way ^EmAnd now you ^Cwish that you had sta^Gyed

Pre-Chorus

^DAnd there's so ^Emmuch more that yo^Cu could see if you^G just stick around ^DAnd all the str^Emeet light secrets^C whispering for yo^Gu to come back out ^Em

Chorus

^EmOh no^C....... There's ^Gso much more that^D you need to work out ^EmOh no^C....... You don'^Gt want that parad^De to leave you now ^C

Verse 3

^EmAnd the day^Cs are all the s^Game ^EmAnd the to^Cwn so big and no ^Gone knows your name ^EmAnd the peo^Cple fade awa^Gy......And all stars a^F#re just a flicker ^EmAnd you're lef^Ct there all al^Gone

Pre-Chorus

^DAnd there's so ^Emmuch more that yo^Cu could see if you^G just stick around ^DAnd all the str^Emeet light secrets^C whispering for yo^Gu to come back out ^Em

Chorus

^EmOh no^C....... There's ^Gso much more that^D you need to work out ^EmOh no^C....... You don'^Gt want that parad^De to leave you now

^CWhen the mu^Csic's over But the so^Cng stays in your h^Cead

*break for solo* Em C G D - 2x Chorus
