Artist: The Dismemberment Plan Song: Time Bomb Album: Change tab by Jackie Joyner The song is very straight forward from a rhythm guitar stand point. There's mainly 2 repeating sections until about 2:35 when it changes slightly. There really is no defined chorus or verse in the song, only times when Travis sings and when he doesn't so that's why I have sections that are Verse/Chorus. Also there are multiple guitars in this song, but I'm only going to tab it for solo guitar. Structure: Verse/Chorus Instr. Breakdown Verse/Chorus x2 Instr.

well Emi, i am a Gtar pit and Emi, i swell like a liviGng thing all at the C Gsus2 Bm C(hold) slightest touch.. a black grime, swallowing everything.. a cold and timeless clutch Emi, well i am a Gtrip wire, and Emi, i'm stretching acroGss the road you're C Gsus2 Bm C(hold) barreling down tonight...a thinish twine, waiting to be released right beyond sight
