5. It's Beginning to Get to Me
Its Beginning To Get To Me Chords by Snow Patrol
Tabbed by Ben McConnell
Standard Tuning
I tabbed this for Acoustic Guitar. I may be off on a few chords. It's hard to tell what
band was doing, since this song they use a lot of bass.
Chords Used: E A D
EI want something
EThat's purer than the water
ELike we were
EIt's Anot there now
AIneloqueEnce and anger
EAre all we have
ELikAe Saturn's rings
AAn icy loop around mEe
EToo hard to hold
ELasAh out first
AAt all the things we don'Et like
EOr understand
EAnd it's beginning to get to me
EThat I Aknow more of the stars and sea
AThan I do of what's in your head
EBarely touching in our cold bed
EAre you beginning to get my point
EThey're always fighting with aching joints
EIt's doAing nothing but tire us out
ANo onEe knows what this fight's about
EThe answer phone
AThe lEonely sound of your voice
EFrozen in time
EI only need
AThe comEpass that you gave me
ETo guide me on
EAnd it's beginning to get to me
DThat I know more of the stars and sea
AThan I do of what's in your head
Barely touchEing in our cold bed
Are you begiDnning to get my point
AThey're always fighting with aching joints
AIt's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knowsE what this fight's about
It's so thriDlling but also wrong
ADon't have to prove that you are so strong
ACos I can carry you on my back
After our enEemies attack
I tried to tDell you before I left
But I was scAreaming under my breath
EYou are the only thing that makes sense
EJust ignore all this present tense
Strum E chord loudly
EWe need to feel breathless with love
EAnd not collapse under its weight
EI'm gasping for the air to fill
EMy lungs with everything I've lost
EWe need to feel breathless with love
EAnd not collapse under its weight
EI'm gasping for the air to fill
EMy lungs with everything I've lost
END ON E
6. You Could Be Happy
Capo 3
D 1 bar A 1 bar G 2bars x4
You could be Dhappy and AI won't Gknow
But you weren't happy the Dday I Awatched you Ggo
And all the things that I Dwish I Ahad not Gsaid
Are played on lips 'til it's Dmadness Ain my Ghead
Is it too late to Emremind you Dhow weG were'
But not our last days of Emsilent, DscreamingG blur
Most of what I Emremember Dmakes me Gsure
I should have stopped you from Dwalking Aout the Gdoor
You could be Dhappy, I Ahope you Gare
You made me Dhappier than AI'd been by Gfar
Somehow everything DI own Asmells of Gyou
And for the tiniestD moment it's Aall not Gtrue
Do the things that you Emalways Dwanted Gto
Without me there to hold Emyou back, Ddon't think, Gjust do
More than anything I Emwant to Dsee youG go
Take a glorious Dbite out of Athe whole Gworld
7. Make This Go On Forever
Capo 4
Verse 1
APlease don't let this turn into someCthing it's not
GI can only give you everFything I've got
AI can't be as sorry as you Cthink I should
Gbut I still love you more than anyFone else could
AAll that I keep thinking throughout Cthis whole flight
GIs 'it could take my whole damn life to Fmake this right'
AThis splintered mast I'm holding on won't Csave me long
GBecause I know fine well that what I Fdid was wrong
Chorus
Am C F
TheG last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
AmFirst kiss and the Cfirst time that FI felt connected to Ganything
AmThe weight of water, the Cway you taught me to Flook past everything I had
Gever learned
AmThe final word in the Cfinal sentence Fyou ever uttered to Gme was love
Verse 2
AWe have got through so much worse than Cthis before
GWhat's so different this time that you Fcan't ignore'
AYou say it is much more than just my Clast mistake
GAnd we should spend some time apart for Fboth our sakes
Chorus
x2
Piano Solo
A
Outro
AAnd I don't know where to look
AMy words just break and melt
APlease just save me from this darkness
APlease just save me from this darkness
8. Set Fire to the Third Bar
Bm A G x2
BmI findA the Gmap and draw a straight line
BmOver rAiversG, farms, and state lines
BmThe diAstancGe from me to where you'd be
BmIt's oAnly fGinger-lengths that I see
BmI toucAh theG place where I'd find your face
BmMy finAgers Gin creases of distant dark places
BmI hangA my cGoat up in the first bar
BmThere Ais noG peace that I've felt so far
BmThe laAughteGr penetrates my silence
BmAs druAnken Gmen find flaws in science
BmTheir AwordsG mostly noises
BmGhostsA withG just voices
BmYour wAords Gin my memory
BmAre liAke muGsic to me
BmI'm mileDs from where you are,
AI lay dGown on the cold ground
BmI pray tDhat something picks me up
AAnd setCadd9s me down in your warm arms
BmAfter AI havGe travelled so far
BmWe'd sAet thGe fire to the third bar
BmWe'd sAhare Geach other like an island
BmUntil AexhauGsted, close our eyelids
BmAnd drAeaminGg pink wildfire
BmThe laAst plGace we left off
BmYour sAoft sGkin is weeping
BmA joy Ayou cGan't keep it
BmI'm mileDs from where you are,
AI lay dGown on the cold ground
BmAnd I prDay that something picks me up
Aand setCadd9s me down in your warm arms
BmI'm mileDs from where you are,
AI lay dGown on the cold ground
BmI pray tDhat something picks me up
Aand setCadd9s me down in your warm arms
