Hello again! I am bringing you yet another Carbon Leaf tab. And yet again, this one
done mostly from memory. If you find something that should be fixed, then please leave a comment.
The beginning verse is played with the low E string (which is detailed below the

Light flickers by
G#m
A hundred suns hehind the trees
E
Melts us in a lullaby
G#m
Our eyelids are like movie screens
E
And we close our eyes
G#m
And feel the warmth come into frame
E
We close our eyes
G#m
Until our dreams become one and the same
E
So much left for giving
G#m F#
In the year of living dangerously happy

W've reached a secret place

To rest and reconcile

We close our eyes

And fill each room with sons and daughters

And never be alone

Looking past the love you face

You miss the place you never had

But what you need's not just the dream

But somethings on the other end

Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.

You're much too fast asleep
