Tuning: E A D G B E
TAB: QOTSA - In the Fade (Rated R)
Tuning: E Standard
Difficulty: Intermediate
Key: C# Minor
Tab Author: O. Fitzgerald
This is my favourite QOTSA song, and probably one of my favourite songs of all time. I play it a lot, and so
have developed my own way of playing it, based on the keyboard part. This is not accurate to any performance,
but it sounds really good and isn't too hard to play. Enjoy!

Verse 1
Cracks in the ceiling
Crooked pictures in the hall
Counting and breathing
I'm leaving here tommorow
They don't know
I'll never do you any good
Laughing is easy
I would if I could

Pre-Chorus:
Ain't gonna worry
Just life till you die
Wanna drown?
With nowhere to fall into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save
And I know
(ahhhhhhhhhhhhh)
You live till you die

Verse 2
Losing the feeling
That I couldn't get away
Counting and breathing
Disappearing in the fade
They don't know
I'll never do you any good
Stopping and staying
I would if I could
