I think that John doesn't play (x07600)/(7x7600).. he seems to be using
(x0220x) and (x2x220).
Part 4
"Would the world between us.."
e---0---0-------0---x---------
b---0---0-------0---2---------
g---2---4--(5)--4---3---6---6-

e---2---4--(4)--4---2-------7-
I only have one version of the song and I hear (4x45xx) at 3:15 min. I
think it might be a mistake but I'm not sure.
Part 5
"Could I ever beak away?..."
e------------3---5---0---

(1) If melody is my destiny
Then what's left of me
I'll give to you
(1) If next to me
Is all that you need to be
Would you settle for fantasy
If its the best you could do
(2) Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to?
(3) Would the world between us
break these ties
We've work so hard to realize
Can a postcard say
What I see in your eyes?
Could I ever break away?
Intro
(1) Would I be satisfied
and find peace inside
Rolling half my life
over broken white lines
(2) Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to?
(3) Will I wake up one morning
and see your face
and streaks on the window
that the rainstorm makes
Could you bear all the weight
and the strength that it takes
could I ever break away
(2) Can I have my cake?
Can I have you too?
Would you follow me?
Could I ask you to?
(4) Would the world between us
break these ties
We've work so hard to realize
Can a postcard say
What I see in your eyes?
Could I ever break away? (5)
