PRE-CHORUS

GYeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning Dcommute?

2. Weekend Wars
DmEvil S I yes to find a sChore, G
CA beach that doesn't qGuiver anymoFre,
DmWhere we can crush some pClants to paint my wFalls,
And I won't Amtry to fight in the weekend wFars
DmWas I? I was too lazy to bCathe G
COr paint or write or tGry to make aF change.
DmNow I can shoot a Cgun to kill my lFunch
And I don't Amhave to love or think too Fmuch
AInDmstant Cbattle Fplans Awritten on the A#sidewalk
AMeDmntal Cmystics Fin a Atwisted metal A#car
ATrDmied to CampliFfy the Gmsound of A#light and Clove
(Instead of just playing a C at the end here,
you can match the sound of MGMT a little better if
you play the riff below. When you finish it, go right
into the Dm of the next verse.)

A|3---1---------------|
E|--------5---3-------|
DmChrist is cursed of faders and madCers G
Might Ceven take a Gknife to split a Fhair
DmOr even scare the Cchildren off my Flawn
Giving us Amtime to make the makeshift Fbombs
DmEvery mess invested was a Cscore G
We Ccouldn't use Gcomputers anyFmore
But it's Dmdifficult to Cwin unless you're Fbored,
And you might Amhave to plan for the weekend Fwars
ATrDmy to bCreak my Fheart I'll Adrive to AriA#zona.
AIt Dmmight Ctake F100 Ayears to grow an A#arm
AI'll Dmsit and Clisten Fto the Gmsound of A#sand and Acold
DmTwisted Cdiamond Fheart, AI'm the weekend A#warrior
AMyDm preCdictions Fare the oAnly things I A#have
AI Dmcan CampliFfy the Gmsound of A#light and Clove
(Here there is a similar riff as before. I strum or pick this
depending on how intense I want it to sound. Again, go right into
the next part after finishing this.)

CI'm a curse and I'm a A#sound,
When I open up my mouth,
There's a reason I don't Fwin,
I don't know how to Cbegin
I'm a curse and I'm a A#sound,
When I open up my mouth,
There's a reason I don't Fwin,
I don't know how to Cbegin
I'm a curse and I'm a A#sound,

AreDm you starting toC change?

(Intro)
F#m D A E x8

F#mYou were a chDild
Crawling on your knAees toward him E
F#mMaking momma so prDoud

(Verse)
The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers

Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not
(Chorus)

6. 4th Dimensional Transition
Tabbed by Jordan
I could't find a tab of this anywhere so I decided to figure it out myself. It's
pretty easy to make out just by listening to it, but I think I got it right for
the most part. Any comments or corrections are welcome.
All the verse parts are barre chords:
E A Am B Dm D G F F# C G2
e|-------5----5---7----5---5---3---1---2----3---10---------------------------|
B|---9---5----5---7----6---7---3---1---2----5---12---------------------------|
G|---9---6----5---8----7---7---4---2---3----5---12---------------------------|
D|---9---7----7---9----7---7---5---3---4----5---12---------------------------|
A|---7---7----7---9----5---5---5---3---4----3---10---------------------------|
E|---0---5----5---7------------3---1---2-------------------------------------|
EI feel your racing heart
EMy liquid silver arms extended
EThese waves aren't far apart
EBlack gold in clawfoot tubs unchanging
AI am fAmire, where's my fEorm?
AWhispeAmr crimson I intBrude
DmThere's light beneath your eAyes
DmNew overtones in vieBw
Endless fAorm, endless tEime
A little different for the next verse:
EIf what they say is true
EYou are a shadow in the fourth dimension
ETo float away with you
EWe see the corners where nothing happens
AWhile we dAmrifted we were oEne
ACeilings lAmifted walls wereE gone
EYou speak the lDanguage of the bGreeze
GAll your leaves were meant for me
The lFove that every pF#erson wants to Ebe
Here is the instrumental verse part:

DmStuck together, I don't lCike revealing secrets
I'll Flive inside your lips if you won't lGaugh
My heaving hands on rotten frAuit at last
DmFallow fingers, there's a sCurface I can count on
She'd fFit inside my heart and take it oGver
Till her cape got blown intAo my red lungs
DmEither there's a purpose
Or I'm hCeading out at breakfast
Take a dFrink, take a drag
One more cGoffee, ugly hat
No more miGrrors, woolen bag
And I am gDone
The song ends by strumming a standard D chord a bunch of times,
before ending on a final G chord.

Emthat make it all alright
Cbut pieces of what
Empieces of what

===================================
-------------Verse-1---------------
===================================
And there were Bbfuture reflections
On the fFace and the hands
On a gBbreen colored island
On a pFrimitive man
It was the Bbfuture reflecting
It felt famFiliar but new
A street was mBbissing a building
The kids had sFomething to do
===================================
-------------Chorus-1--------------
===================================
Gm There was a feeling the spirit was lDmeaving
Red like a mAarker Am
G So my tribe,F with my knife
CmCut the heart from a Bblonely life F
===================================
-------------Verse-2---------------
===================================
BbI saw patterns on floorboards
DFeep in the dust was a leader
SBbomeone was walking on floorboards
TFurned them from oak to cedar
BbHe can assess the situation
FI wrapped a string around my finger
InBbto the forest with the young ones
FI don't expect to be a winner
===================================
-------------Chorus-2--------------
===================================
Gm But as long as you fEmeel it, I'm a belDmiever
My heart is phAosphor Am
G Sea rollsF and death tolls
BCmreak the surface don't bBbreak my bones
Gm Off of the tEmrail and off of your hDmands and
Onto a nAew plan Am
G Is the costF to stay lost
CmForever in an Bbempty skin
BdimPale and thin
===================================
-----------Bridge+Outro------------
===================================
C5 If it's good, or if it's fB5ortune, I can't tell
But pBb5ieces come together for some reF/Aason just as well
C5 Their guns couldn't see us
There's aB5 sea outside my door
Bb5 And one day I'll appreciate
The rF/Aush of blood and the A/C#washed out beat of the sDmhore
C And remember what it fBbelt like F/A
To be alDmone, C sitting in the sBbunlight F/A
All alDmone C Bb F/A
Dm C Bb F/A
