Questions, comments, corrections welcome. And if anyone can tab out the very nice electric guitar in the background, that would be great...

It sounds as though Ryan mutes the A string at some points on the G and the little e string on the D,but it sounds fine either way.

Bm A
Let me go I'm only letting you down
D G
I 've got nothing to say to you now
Bm A
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down
D G
When I'm safe
Bm A
It's turning morning all the birds sing
D G
I'm not complicating anything
Bm A
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
D G
But I'll dream of you
Bm
Cause it's almost over
Asus4
And it's almost gone
Chorus
D G
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming
Bm A
Sweet confusion, honey
D G Bm Asus4
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm D Asus4
Bm A
You and I used to shine like a jewel
D G
But time's been nothing to us but cruel
Bm A
So play it out and never play the fool
D G
Cause you'll lose every time
Bm A
We were nothing, we were only the past
D G
Hard times like that don't last
Bm A
I've been forgiven, I have been surpassed

By my heart
Have you?

Cause it's almost over

Love for you I can't use
Em G Asus4
And lonely nights multiplied by the blues
Asus4
That I can't resolve
note: very light picking on this verse
Bm A
You never knew me but I did my best
D G
I'm just lonely inside I guess
Bm A
You gave me everything you really tried
D G
Thanks
Bm A
If we were nothing and we're only the past
D G
Then I'm just living in a dream I guess
Bm A D
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you
Bm
Where it's almost over
Asus4
And we're almost gone
D G
And I can feel the sweet illusion coming
Bm A
Sweet confusion, honey

Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
