INTRO: To me there are two guitars playing the INTRO.
       GUITAR 1 is playing chords while GUITAR 2 is
       playing notes. However, I did offer an
       ALTERNATIVE so you can play it on one guitar.

VERSE:
                       sl.
E                    E / F   F#m
I feel the daylight slipping
            F#       B           C#m
The summer sunshine winding down
C#m                           A
 I feel the warmth escaping another time, another €…town
              sl.
E           E / F  F#m
 I was redirected
   F#            B          C#m
A radio silence tuned me in
C#m                          A                  B  B C#m
 I felt more connected than anywhere I've ever been


CHORUS:
 C#m    A    E
Half a day ahead
        B       G#     C#m
Where night and day collide
          A   E           B     G#     C#m
Nothing chan-ges between sunset and sunrise
A         E                  B      G#    C#m
 Side-by-side, we watch our future come alive
C#m     A    E
Half a day ahead

VERSE:
                sl.
E             E / F   F#m
 City full of water
         F#     B           C#m
Islands drift into the skies
C#m                     A
The reflected skyline, everlasting, old and wise

                        sl.
E                     E / F  F#m
 I'm thankful for my sisters
         F#      B        C#m
Oh, my brothers take me in
C#m                           A                       B  B C#m
Slow me down a little, sing, "Open up your heart and win"


CHORUS:
 C#m    A    E
Half a day ahead
              B       G#     C#m
Yeah, where night and day collide
          A   E           B     G#     C#m
Nothing chan-ges between sunset and sunrise
A         E                  B      G#    C#m
 Side-by-side, we watch our future come alive
C#m     A    E

Nothing chan-ges between sunset and sun-ri-i-i-i-ise
 A       E                  B      G#    C#m
