This is one of my favourite Frames songs from their gorgeous album
"For the Birds" and when I looked online there was no tab available,
so the guitar player in me had to learn it the old fashioned way.
For too long I have relied upon other people to tab songs that I
want to play. Now it's high time I did it myself.
I looked at live performances of Glen playing this song by himself.
The song is a rather simple one but with a deeply beautiful melody that
Glen sings with absolute conviction. This tab is as close as I possibly
can get to how Glen plays it. If you have corrections of your own, feel
free to let me know. Cheers & GRA MOR!

Intro: F#m11 A Asus4 A x2
(Verse 1)
F#m11 A Asus4 A
Returning with the listless,
F#m11 A Asus4 A
And staying close behind
F#m11 A Asus4 A E
And the arms that once held you have receded,
F#m11
Over time
(Chorus)
Asus4 A
And the little love I had
Asus4 A
For all my friends and foe
Asus4 A Asus4 E
And the little lines we've drawn between us all have
F#m11
Taken hold
(Verse 2 - same chords as Verse 1)
In the early morning walking,
And the pressure in the night
And the walls that held you with us have fallen
Out of sight
Asus4 A
And the little love I had
Asus4 A
For all my friends and foe
Asus4 A Asus4 E
And the little lines we've drawn between us all have
F#m11
Taken hold
Asus4 A
And the little love I had
Asus4 A
For all the friends I know
Asus4 A Asus4 E A
And the little time we got to share was worth it after all
Instrumental: F#m11 A Asus4 A x3 E F#m11
(Verse 3 - chords same as Verse 1 & 2)
Now we work it out in silence,
And the subplots to the end
And it's falling out of favour,
You've seen me where I am
And the little love I had for all my friends and foe
And the little lines we've drawn between us all have taken hold
And the little love I had for all the friends I know
And the little time we got to share was worth it after all
