Snow Patrol - Make This Go On Forever Chords & Tabs

Snow patrol - make this go on forever

well this is pretty simple but effective i think.
i chose mostly power chords because it sounds much more like the piano in the normal version,
but hey, mess around its all good.

2 parts: main guitar (and optional distortion guitar) and bass.


Verse 1 - C# E B A

I can't be as sorry as you think I should
B                                  A                    (cont same chords)

But I still love you more than anyone else could
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/snow_patrol/make_this_go_on_forever_tab.html ]
All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong

Chorus (build up pace to a steady strum) C# B A F*

   C#                  B              A        F*
The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could

First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything

The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I had

ever learned

The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

Verse 2 (same as previous)

We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore?
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes

chorus 2 (heavy distortion, emphasise the roots)

outro
