This is my attempt at a tab of The Fray's new song "The Fighter". For this tab, I'm putting the chords in the body with annotations about when to play each riff. The riffs are at the bottom. (Start Riff 1) Intro: F Verse 1:
The lover held her lCove She begged him not to Amgo The fighter wrapped his gCloves The fighter said I Amknow, I know, I know Just this one last tGime I swear you'll still be mFine But he can't promise mAmuch He goes for one last tGouch, one last touch
(End Riff 1) (Start Riff 2) Chorus 1:
FMaybe we were meant to be lAmonely, lGonely FMaybe we were meant to be Amon our Gown FLoneliness has always been Amwith me, Gwith me FBut maybe we don't have to be Amall aGlone
(End Riff 2) Break 1: C (Start Riff 3) Verse 2:
The fighter goes insCide The doubt is creeping Amin He swings with all his Cmight At all that might have Ambeen And she's in love with hFim But lovers don't always Gwin He never even saw the sAmwing She calls out his Cname, calls his name
(End Riff 3) (Start Riff 2) Chorus 1:
FMaybe we were meant to be lAmonely, lGonely FMaybe we were meant to be Amon our Gown FLoneliness has always been Amwith me, Gwith me FBut maybe we don't have to be Amall aGlone
(End Riff 2) Bridge 1: F F Am C
F What breaks your Ambones G F Is not the Amload you're Gcarrying F What breaks you Amdown G F Is all in Amhow you Gcarry
