Tuning: Half-Step Down
This is already here, but the chords are in the wrong key or something, so here is the
album version, with tabs at the bottom.
INTRO: (w/ lead): E
VERSE: (w/ lead)
EHere's to you, the same chords that I C#mstole from a Bsong that I once heard
EThe Same melody I C#mborrowed from the voidB. I'd rather observe
Ethan structure a narraC#mtive, the Bcharacters are thin
Ethe plot does not deC#mvelop it Bends where it begins
E C#m B x2
EIt's on the screen, in paperbacks, in C#msection 8 and Bcul-de-sacs
EElectro haikus and drunk sonnets are C#mmoving me aBlong. AAlong
INTERLUDE: (w/ lead): E A x2
CHORUS:
EYou cut my hair, you left C#mred ink everywhere
BDo my hands tell a Astory? Is it Bboring?
EYou cut my hair, you left C#mred ink everywhere
BDo my hands tell a Astory? Is it Bboring?
VERSE: (w/ lead)
EWhat I'd give to force your sigh, what I'd C#mgive to Bsee you cry
What I'd Egive for your caress to see your C#mblue cotton dress Bballed up on the floor
ECertain memories are the C#mproblem certain Bdrunken lines are the shame
ESeven hundred C#mmiles and four years I can't Bfight the flame; Ait burns
CHORUS:
EYou cut my hair, you left C#mred ink everywhere
BDo my hands tell a Astory? Is it Bboring?
EYou cut my hair, you left C#mred ink everywhere
BDo my hands tell a Astory? Is it Bboring?
OUTRO: (w/ lead)
EWas I wishing on satellites?
Tell me how you've been doing that trick
I'm just wishing the flame away
Now I'm wishing the flame away
