AHEAD OF THE CURVE - Monsters of Folk
Song: Ahead Of The Curve
Artist: Monsters of Folk
Tabbed by: UsingThisName
Capo on the 2nd fret
This is a simple song to play. The rhythm and timing are very intuitive, and can
be easily figured out by listening to the song.
The verses and choruses are played the same way every time. I fully laid out the
first verse as an example, and for the second verse I only included the chords to
give a succinct visual.
I apologies if I overcomplicated anything.
Enjoy!

I got happiness that I can't maintain so beginner's luck
GI had shoes toEm fill
Gwalkin' barefoEmot now.
GCan't tell norEmth from south
Cbut no split hairs gonDna get me down.
CHORUS
CI'm stayin' above the Gflat line
CI'm ahead of the curGve.
CTake a piece of the sunshGine with me
Amon a red eye to anoDther world
CIt isn't any Gtrouble
Cif you wanna come wGith me.
CI know it's out of theG question, honey
Ambut I sure could use thDe company
Cand a place to be. G
VERSE
Now the sky is pink
rooftop swimmin' pool.
I'm not care free, no
I'm free to care
I just never do.
All the bags are checked
and the reasons why.
Yesterday lingers on
that's the peace you can keep when you say goodbye.
CHORUS
You can get what you want now
knock it out of the park.
Bury it by the river
Easy, there's a search party but it's gettin' dark.
I won't hold you to nothin'
I wanna make that plane.
Probably end up a stranger, crazy
buy I'm still hoping there's another way
and a place to stay
BRIDGE
EmWhat a scDene has Cgot you sGentimental
Cwhen the night comes, Amwhen the night comes Dloose.
EmAll the thinDgs you've putC up on tGhe mantle
Cwhat a shame. AmWhat a shame.
DIt's old news
CHORUS
I'm stayin' above the flat line
I'm ahead of the curve.
Take a piece of the sunshine with me
on an all night drive to another world
You can get what you want now
knock it out of the park.
Probably end up a drifter, lonely
but I'm still hoping for a change of heart
and a place to start.
