   Again, interesting that this happens, as well as unfortunate, though when I   
   check it on Google Groups, where I first posted it, and now here, in Outlook   
   Express, it comes out fine in both:   
      
   Twilight Girl   
      
   E    Esus4   E   
   A                              E                      A   
            E   
   Six or six thousand,                        we will meet again.   
   A                                 E                          D             A   
                     E   
   At blazing dusk,           or quiet dawn.           On that shore... again.   
   C#            A                           B                      E   
   This is the wait,                 the weight of the world.   
   C#                 A              B                   Tacet               E   
   Comes down sweet and heavy...                 Twilight Girl.   
      
   On that quiet morning,                   clear, crispy light.   
   Seeing a movie from a distance,     mourning in front of her flight.   
      
   This is the wait,                                the weight of the world.   
   Comes down sweet and heavy,       Twilight Girl.   
      
   Bridge:   
   D                                               A   
   She offered me her cup,          asked me to fill it up,   
               E                          D   
   I said "Later, babe.      Right now we have to talk   
   A                                                           B7   
      Tacet   
   Untangle the chakra        that crosses over."   
      
   Ghost horses,     from the car ahead,        looks like engine exhaust.   
   Blink my eyes through bitter tears, a smile for what we shared   
      
   This is the wait,                               the weight of the world.   
   Comes down sweet and heavy...               Twilight Girl.

   So I don't know how I'd go about attempting to fix something that doesn't   
   seem broken... I'll look into it, though.
