Artist: Nuno Bettencourt "Flow"
Author: Matt Ward
This is the first track on Nuno's solo album "Population 1". I have included a
transcription of the backing keyboard, please email if you have any suggestions.
Guitar tuned 1/2 step down
I've lined up the script to the changes in tab and chords to give an idea of
their placement though you'll find it pretty straightforward.

"Pull the shades, lock the door, somebodies looking for vovo
She don't wanna come out today, she would rather stay inside and play
All day she'll stay, holding all her children in her arms
Away from harm, it's all she ever wanted...
E D E
I was only just beginning to say
D E
all the things that could have been said
D E D
Then they come and take you away...way

Chorus:
F C
I love you, I love you,
G Am
I don't care who hears me
F C G
I know that it's uncool to sing it
Am
It's just that
F C
I'm tired of trying
G Am
to find different ways to say that
F C
I love you, I love you,
G Am
It's all that I'm feeling...

Someone please, shed some light, where is the narrator in my life?
Maybe he doesn't know where I've fled
Running through the city in my head
I shed...regret
E D E
Now I hear the credits rolling the end
D E
This movie can't be over, not yet
D E D
Theres no happy ending, no more...more
-Chorus-
(Just let it flow...)"
There is also a guitar accompanyment after each chorus which more or less
replicates the keyboard, however there are a changes to create melody
and I think this is more or less it:
Chorus 1:
