D Cadd9 G 
If you fall asleep with me you can dream and drowse
Badd6/9 D Cadd9
The minutes turn to hours We could climb a tree or two
G Badd6/9 
And watch the sun go down Upon our sleepy town

Play intro:


D Cadd9 G
After all the time I spent with you Summer went away
Badd6/9 D Cadd9
And we just weren't the same It's just you and me alone
G Badd6/9
Not grown ups but not kids You kissed me on the lips

Rest Will Flow
Chords and tablature transcribed by Dave Ward (dave at daveward dot net) 
 
The two chord changes which form the basis of "The Rest Will Flow" are really simple: 
 

    G  Gmaj7    G  Gmaj7    C  C+11     C  C+11 
e --3--3--2-----3--3--2-----3--3--2-----3--3--2--------------- 
b --3--3--3-----3--3--3-----1--1--1-----1--1--1--------------- 
g --0--0--0-----0--0--0-----0--0--0-----0--0--0--------------- 
d ------------------------------------------------------------ 
a ------------------------------------------------------------ 
E ------------------------------------------------------------ 

 
Those two changes (G to Gmaj7, and C to C+11) form almost the entire song. There are only two deviations from these chords: 
 
(1) During the lines "I know, I know", a B-flat chord is played, changing to a C. 
 
(2) At the very end of the song--the last couple bars--there are several different chords: D, F, C and finally a G. 
 
 
(G, Gmaj7; G, Gmaj7; C, C+11; C, C+11) 
(G, Gmaj7; G, Gmaj7; G, Gmaj7; G, Gmaj7) 
 
G 
I was pretending to be floating strong, But I was 
 
C                  G 
Sinking into still water 
 
C                       G 
Eyes closed, all of the rest will flow 
 
G 
Then out of darkness I found I could still feel 
 
C                          G 
Something good, out of the woods 
 
C                       G 
Eyes closed, all of the rest will flow 
 
  Bb      C            G 
I know, I know (of the rest will flow) 
 
G 
One simple thing that I never could see 
 
C                          G 
But now I know, all of the rest will flow 
 
G 
Stay with me my angel I found you, now I don't feel 
 
C               G 
Low, all of the rest will flow 
 
C                       G 
Eyes closed, all of the rest will flow 
 
  Bb      C            G 
I know, I know (of the rest will flow) 
 
C                       G 
Eyes closed, all of the rest will flow 
 
C                       G 
           --All of the rest will flow 
 
C                       D 
Eyes closed, all of the rest will flow 
 
(F, C, G...)   end

    But Russia on ice is burning a hole

Can't stop myself drinking
Can't stop being me
If I call will you come and will you save me ?

Dsus2                            C9
      I see the whole thing come down
                 Dsus2
I burn it to the ground
Bb2add6                           C4
       Well what the hell did you say ?
                          Dsus2
You said you hate me this way
Bb2add6                       N.C.
       It's just a matter of time

A drop in the ocean
A significant motion
Nothing melts in this cold
But Russia on ice is burning a hole

NOTE1: there is also a first acoustic solo, that seems to be registered and digitally inverted.
NOTE2: in the second half of the second there is also an additional electric slide guitar
	that follow the main armonic line, with the typical sound and style of other PT songs.

Final solo  (much notes are "slided" on the same chord)
