The Longest Night Tab

by Howie Day


Here's the basic chords used. I say basic cause well frankly it's kind of hard tabbing 
from the two fuzzy live vids, and cause howie likes to + and - alot to chords. (If that 
any sense; its 4 am here.)

Intro                Verse
C major -- 010230    C major -- 032010-|
E minor -- 011000    G major -- 320000-|
F Major -- xxx3210   A minor -- x12200-|
                     F major -- xx3210

Pre- Chorus          Chorus
G major -- 320000    C major -- 032010-|
E minor -- 011000    G major -- 320000-|
F major -- xxx3210   A minor -- x12200-|
                     F major -- xx3210

Bridge
D minor -- 000231
E minor -- 011000
F major -- xxx3210
G major -- 320000

The strumming is really really simple, pretty much it's all down strumming, just listen 
it, its idiot proof.

Here's the lyrics and when the chords should be played when singing (roughly)

------------------------------------------------
                     Verse
------------------------------------------------

                   
Is it dark where you are?
                               
Can you count the stars where you are?
                      
Do you feel where you are
                     
A thousand miles from home
                     
Are you lost where you are?
                             
Can you count the cost of it so far?
                        
Did you steal where you are
                          
A thousand nights alone

------------------------------------------------
                   Pre-Chorus
------------------------------------------------
                              
Maybe there's a point to this
                             
Could it be something I have missed

------------------------------------------------
                     Chorus
------------------------------------------------

Here we are set into motion

We Steal a car, well crash in the ocean
                                   
You and I are caught in the fading light
                        
On the longest night

------------------------------------------------
                     Verse #2
------------------------------------------------

                   
I was close to a fault line
                        
Heaven knows you showed up in time
        
Was it real
        
Do you feel
                          
Like youre ever comin down

------------------------------------------------
                    Pre-Chorus
------------------------------------------------
                             
Maybes there's another side to this
                            
Could it be something I have missed

------------------------------------------------
                      Chorus
------------------------------------------------

Here we are set into motion

We Steal a car, well crash in the ocean
                                   
You and I are caught in the fading light
                 
On the longest night

------------------------------------------------
                      Bridge
------------------------------------------------
          
Sun drops
            
Clock stops
                             
Here with you on the 21st of June
        
Will I see you
       
If not now
              
Then tell me when

------------------------------------------------
                    Chorus
------------------------------------------------

So here we are set into motion

Well steal a car, well crash in the ocean
                                 
You and I were caught in a fading night

On the longest night

------------------------------------------------
                       Outro Ish
------------------------------------------------

All we are is falling together

Even now it seems like forever
                               
Still alive caught in a fading light

On the longest night


It's not 100% accurate but hopefully i made it as idiot proof as possible lol. Feel free 
of his new songs, hopefully, we'll see how that goes lol.
