interview, it is tuned in Gaslight standard (Whole Step Down-DGCFAd), No capo, I’m not
great with tabbing fingerpickng so this is just a guide, feel free to play with it and
find your own groove…enjoy

Intro
Verse
Have you seen my heart,
Have you seen how it bleeds?
And the nights are so long, baby,
Out here in the deep.
The tick, ticking of hours, lonely.
I hear the alarm
I used to hear when she would sleep in my arms.
Pre-Chorus
But "better sense" says...
Chorus x2
Hey hey, turn the record over.
Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over.
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet.
And all my friends say,
Hey hey, turn the record over.
Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over.
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet.
