Tuning: E A D G B E
This is my first tab, apologies in advance for any mistakes.
Scott doesn't really play many regular chords so a lot of these are just shapes with an approximate chord
name. The strumming pattern varies slightly so I haven't included one but you get used to the pattern and
it's relatively straight forward until the end. There are various little flourishes during chords,
which I haven't tabbed, but you can easily pick them up by listening to the song.
Tuning - DADGBD
Capo - Fret 2, all chords and frets are relative to the capo

[Intro]
D7sus2 D A7sus4/D Bb7/D x 2
D7sus2I can hardly wait another night
Another day for you to arD5rive D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
D7sus2I can hardly face another mile
Knowing all the while you're out of D5sight
[Bridge]
What if it's G9now or never?
Will you Em9leave me in the snow to find my D5way?
It's G9late December
And the Em9road appears to be the same both D5ways D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
[Verse]
D7sus2I've been up for days with not an ounce
Of tireness to weigh my D5spirits down D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
A D7sus2long way past the sign still flashing
'One mile to dine', no turning D5'round
[Chorus]
Oh for this Bm/Ddrifter
To be Dm7faced with you
EmD5braced by D7wonder and G7/Dlight
Oh for that Bm/Dmoment
To be Dm7touched by you
Your D5hands so D7graceful in G7/Dflight
Oh for that Em9moment
To be A11/Dsafe forever D5 D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
[Verse]
You're D7sus2easier to see
When my eyes try to sleep every D5night D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
But you're D7sus2harder to see
With the water deep and the sky D5white
[Bridge]
What if it's G9now or never?
Would you Em9meet me by the river in D5time?
When I draw G9my last breath
Will you Em9cradle me?
[Chorus]
Oh for this Bm/Ddrifter
To be Dm7faced with you
EmD5braced by D7wonder and G7/Dlight
Oh for that Bm/Dmoment
To be Dm7touched by you
Your D5hands so D7graceful in G7/Dflight
Oh for that Em9moment
To be A11/Dsafe forever
