If U Were Here

Sleep...
I don't need to sleep
I hide my fist behind me
Dream...
I don't sleep I dream
My conscience lays beside me
If you were here
If you were here, if I was there
If you were here today, this day
If you were here, if you were here if I was there
If you were here, today, this day
Speak...
I don't need to speak
You're satisfied with silence
Scream...
I won't speak I'll scream
My conscience walks behind me
If you were here
If you were here, if I was there
If you were here today, this day
If you were here, if you were here if I was there
If you were here, today, this day
Solo: (see tab below)
|C#m |C#m |D |D |
|A |A |E/G# |E/G# | 2x
|F#m |F#m |
Sleep...
And all my energy
I waste on dreams of silence
If you were here
If you were here, if I was there
If you were here today, this day
If you were here,
if you were here if I was there
If you were here, today, this day, today
|F#m |F#m/F |F#m/E |F#m/D |
|Bm7 |Bm7 |Dmaj7 |Dmaj7 |
Comments: Dmaj7 = xx0222, Bm7 = x24232,
F#m/x = Guitars play F#m (244222)
at the same time as the bass plays the note under the slash.
Play the intro riff during the chorus except when he sings
"today, this day", but when it comes to the last chorus
(the one with another chord pattern)
you play this riff to the end.
Solo:

b11 = bend two frets up
11b = bend to the original note
b11* = bend three frets up
/ = glide up
\ = glide down
h = (hammer on) take note on the ninth fret and add the little finger on the 12th fret without using the plectrum
Notes within () are very silent notes but they exist. I suspect that they glide the index finger from the ninth fret and down
to the seventh without hitting the plectrum.
