I've just spent an hour working out the chords, only to find this site!
The tab on here is slightly inaccurate, however, so here's my effort. It doesn't go
into the Lydian E chords and other such colouring, but you can build that up from
the basic chords.


Db, Gb, Absus4, Ab x3
Db, Ab-Gb, Bb

F#m D Ab
Breathe in the night
F#m D Ab
That crushed a tired sunrise
F#m D Ab
Born again the day
F#m D Ab Absus4
Brings young naivetė

Ebm7 E2 Ebm7
A laptop souvenir is worth its weight
Ab/C B Ebm7
In silver a golden son
E
You'll be home again
Db/B B
And I'll be home again

Mend in my sleep
I'm boxing under water
Waddle on the wake
F#m D C#m A
Waking on a summer day
F#m6 Ab
A summer day

CHORUS:
Db Fm
After all these years
Ebm Gb Ab
Forget about all the troubled times
Db Fm
After all these years
Ebm Gb Ab
Forget about all the troubled times

Ebm, Gb, Ab

And every father's pain
Casts a shadow over a broken son
You'll be whole again
And I'll be whole again

Munificent, artless and ascetic
Playing like a scared
Enthusiastic pawn

CHORUS

Ab Db Gb Ab
All those years
Db Gb Ab Db
I was hurting to feel
Ebm Gb Ab Db
Something more than life

INTRO (x3)

Db Ab Gb Gbm6
All those years

CHORUSx2

OUTRO

this song is beautiful, it's a different sound to SC and i like it!@ my fave part is *Breathe in the night That crushed a tired sunrise Born again the day Brings you naivety* a song of pain and how time may still not heal all wounds...i love it

this is my fav song off their last album. it is very beautiful indeed.. although it's different from their sound i am really glad they decided to record this song as well. i don't know what this song is about but it makes me feel really good.. part of the song is about his relationship with his father i think and how much the past have hurt them both. i think that daniel had written this song when he realised he got better and now that he is looking back he's saying "after all these years, forget about all the troubled times.." which could be meaning something like ".. it's over now, it's okay.." maybe now he is not afraid of life anymore. this is just how i pretend this song of course but for daniel, i hope this is how he pretends this song as well because that would mean he is feeling much better than before and that's a good thing !

If "Across the Night" is the butterfly fluttering just after the metamorphosis, this song (along with "My Favourite thing") is the beauty of the butterfly when it lands. Some of Silverchair's more "hard core" fans may not like the sound they've currently embodied, but I think those fans are closer to shallow than hard core. I know that there are probably more talented guitarists out there, but the reason Silverchair is my favourite band, is (1) Daniel's vocals are second to none, and (2) they have a songwriting ability few artists in history have been graced with...

I love this song so much. Daniels voice is so beautiful on the whole album, he has such range. This song is my friends graduation song this year, not fair.

I think its about the father-son relationship. Very beautiful song. Sad yet hopeful. Love the piano too :)
