Evenfall

Written by Michael Penn

Special Things to Note:

• Pretty Straightforward... good song to drive to.
• Tempo: Hmm... it moves along. A nice allegro, I suppose. Time Signature: 4-4. Could be cut time, I suppose. I'll write it here in 4, though.
• As usual with my transcriptions, if you see 2 chords within one measure, assume that they're each worth 2 beats, unless otherwise noted.
• If you have a horn section handy, it'd go nicely with this tune. :-)

|  G  |  If you wipe the slate
|  G  |  let me start again from this 
|Em|Em|  Moment on
|  G  |  We've been through this before
|  G  |  Every single time that I thought 
|Em|Em|  You had gone
|C Em|G| Well I'm out of reserve; I'm out of my 
|Em|Em|  Wherewithal,
|  G  |  But when the moment comes, 
|  G  |  When I've got nothing left I find I've 
|Em|Em|  Got it all

|C   D|  See what I know
|  D  |  I can't always believe
|C   D|  A poison kiss 
|  D  |  Can taste like a reprieve
|C D|D---| And once again, I'm caught up from the even-
|C   G|  fall.
|  G  |

|  G  |  I know it's late
|  G  |  I'm never in this frame of mind any 
|Em|Em|  Earlier
|  G  |  I can judge the hour by
|  G  |  how much of what I see
|Em|Em|  Is no more than a blur
|C  Em|  Well I'm down on my knees
|  G  |  Looking for some kind of 
|Em|Em|  Antidote
|  G  |  When that moment comes
|  G  |  I keep one thing in mind that keeps my 
|Em|Em|  Head afloat
	
|C   D|  What I believe
|  D  |  Ain't always what I feel
|C   D|  Another chance 
|  D  |  Can sting like naked steel
|C D|D---| And once again I'm caught up from the even-
|C   G|  fall
|  G  |

         Well it's a 
|  G  |  Mystery can't you 
| Em  |  See; Why
|  A  |  You'd still be here with 
|  C  |  Me
|  G  |  I don't need no 
| Em  |  guarantee
|  A  |  but don't even turn from me
|  C  |  don't ever turn me away.

|C   D|  What I believe

|C   D|  Another chance 
|  D  |  Can sting like naked steel
|C   D|  And once again I'm 
|-D---|  Caught up from the even-
|C |C |  fall

|C   D|  Well, what I know
|  D  |  I can't always believe
|C   D|  A poison kiss 
|  D  |  Can taste like a reprieve
|C   D|  And once again, I'm 
|-D---|  Caught up from the even-
|C  G...| fall.

Repeat and fade out...
