Capo: 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
(This is capo'd on the 2nd fret to match their original key of C#m, my voice is significantly
deeper than theirs so I play this open and a half-step down, just do whatever fits your voice)
[Intro]
Bm (play however long you want)
[Verse 1]
BmI know what time is, time is a thief
It'll Gsteal into bed and rob you while you sleeAp
AAnd you'll neveEmr feel it Bm
BmIt pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head
Then yGou'll wait to find you can't remember what you just saAid
AIt happens toEm everyone Bm
BmJust like the father of my father, time stole his mind
And GI can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mAine
AI try not toEm worry Bm
[Chorus]
GPlease don't come for me
I promise I'll be Bmgreat
Just let me keep what's Amine
GPlease don't come for me
If you must then just Bmplease wait and let me have some Atime
GPlease don't Dcome for Emme
AMind over Emmatter A
when you're as mad as a Emhatter Bm
[Verse 2]
BmIt's hard to draw a clear distinction
BmWho you are, who you were
GThrough the looking glass, the past and future begin to bAlur
AAnd no-one canEm blame you Bm
BmWell they say the world is what you make it
BmYou think, speak and breathe
And those Grules still apply, stuck in a world of make belAieve
AYou make the best with wEmhat you're given Bm
[Chorus]
GPlease don't come for me
I promise I'll be Bmgreat
Just let me keep what's Amine
GPlease don't come for me
If you must then just Bmplease wait and let me have some Atime
GPlease don't Dcome for Emme
AMind over Emmatter A
Em (Keep playing)
when you're as mad as a hatter
[Outro]
Em Em G G
E Em E G G
Em _
Off with her head, off with her head |
|- x2 -A
Paint the roses, paint the roses _|
G _
Off with her head, off with her head |
|- x2 -B
Paint the roses, paint the roses _|
(Alternate between A & B 8 times ending on a single count of A for 17 in total,
or don't, I think the outro doesn't really play well without all the insturments and
vocal accompaniment. I usually play Bm at the end of the 2nd chorus and stop there, but
that's just me, do whatever feels right)
