I am sure this song is originally on an alternate tuning like Drop D-flat (I've
seen Smile Empty Soul live and I'm pretty sure of this), but my version sounds the
same along side the CD or youtube video of them playing. Enjoy!
Intro F#m/E/B
F#mSilhouetEtes above the cBradle hold me down
F#mThey won't lEet me go the wBrong way
F#mMy mother tEaught me all the fBables, told me how
F#mIn the eEnd all the siBnners have to pay
But...
DI don't wanna Elive like my F#mmother C#
I don't wanna Dlet Efear F#mrule my lC#ife
And Di don't wanna Elive like my F#mfather C#
I don't wanna Dgive Eup bF#mefore i diC#e
F#mHe worked so hEard his bones are bBreaking
He wore them down F#mbut long agEo he lost the fBeeling
F#mHis good inEtentions leave me sBhaking, show me how
F#mI don't evEer want to eBnd up like he did
And...
DI don't wanna Elive like my F#mmother C#
I don't wanna Dlet Efear F#mrule my lC#ife
And Di don't wanna Elive like my F#mfather C#
I don't wanna Dgive Eup bF#mefore i diC#e
F#mWhen i have kEids
BI won't put any chains F#mon their wErists, i won't B
F#mI'll tell them tEhis tBhere's nothing in this world
That F#myou can't bEe if you wBant it enough
And...
Hold your B chord you just played for dramatic fade out here, then hit the 4th
fret of the b string and bend that note for the sound just before the chorus hits again.
