This is my favorite song off of Pearl Jam's latest album Binaural.
I've
only had the album for a week, since it was released, but when I heard
this song I had to know how to play it. I think it is correct, it
sounds
like it to me :) I havn't yet tabbed the solos but I'll get to it when
I can.
Disclaimer
This is my interpretation of the song and all work has been done by me.

Verse

I've used hammers made out of wood.
I have played games with pieces and rules.
I've deciphered tricks at the bar,
but now you're gone I havn't figured out why.
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war.
I've figured out numbers and what they're for.
I've understood feelings and I've understood words,
but how could you be taken away.

Chorus

And wherever you've gone,
and wherever we might go.
It don't seem fair,
todays just disappear.
Your light's reflected now,
Reflected from afar.
We were but stones,
your light made us stars.

Bridge

    

Verse

With heavy breath,
awakened regrets,
backpages and days alone that could have been spent,
together, but we were miles apart,
every inch between us becomes light years now.
No time to be void,
or to save up on life,
ah you've got to spend it all...

Chorus

And wherever you've gone,
and wherever we might go.
It don't seem fair,
you seemed to like it here.
Your light's reflected now,
Reflected from afar.
We were but stones,
your light made us stars.

Chorus

And wherever you've gone,
and wherever we might go.
It don't seem fair,
todays just disappear.
Your light's reflected now,
Reflected from afar.
We were but stones,
your light made us stars.
ENDING
A C D repeat to fade.
