 Verse 1



 Hey there you, way out there in the distance

 can you here me?  Are you there?

 I know it's late so please forgive my persistance

 but I'm hanging, do you care?



 So lay back

 call of the attack

 Cause if you look deep dreams are nothing that I lack

 And all I seek

 is a final chance to speak

 And I would let the whole thing keep---



 If I could just sleep





 Verse 2



 Hey there you, way out there could you show me

 just a signal, or a sign?

 That after all, all these years that you've known me

 that I'm not just, killing time.



 So lay back

 call off the attack

 Cause if you look deep dreams are nothing that I lack

 And all I seek

 is a final chance to speak

 And I would let the whole thing keep---



 If I could just sleep





 And as I lay there late at night

 building castles in the air

 All those alibis and all those little lies

 then I look inside and pray that I don't care....



 I don't care



 I don't care



 Hey there you, way out there in the distance....



-------------------------------------------------------------



That's about it.  If I've butchered the song or lyrics in any

way, I'm sorry.  This is a really cool song to sit around and

play.  I hope someone appreciates this tab, and the band.

Long live Criss!  He's a hell of a player!
