The Waltz Is Over
The Shins
Notes: Upstroke on the chords for the intro. Chorus is played exactly like intro with the walking bass-line. Can play with added bass for stronger sound but throughout the tab I just left it as "" for transition into the G. It’s pretty optional. All that said-enjoy!

[Verse 3] She had Wilson Pickett’s best on 45 And one night you know she gave me ride To my place and we were all alone But I still neglected to mention [Chorus] Is there something I’m failing to see A message in the stars Secrets lying hidden from me Not sure where they are Tell me am I always to be watching from afar ’Cause your image breaks my heart [Bridge] Now the waltz is over Passed into the clover Now the waltz is over Passed into the clover [Verse 4] Cause the day will finally come When time will have rendered me numb Maybe then I can put it down Let me linger for a moment now Collect some details to recall Some part of life before it all Fades into the darkness [Chorus] Is there something I’m failing to see A message in the stars Secrets lying hidden from me Not sure where they are Tell me am I always to be watching from afar Cause your image breaks my heart
