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
E
I want something
E
That's purer than the water
E
Like we were
EA
It's not there now
A E
Ineloquence and anger
E
Are all we have
EA
Like Saturn's rings
A E
An icy loop around me
E
Too hard to hold
EA
Lash out first
A E
At all the things we don't like
E
Or understand
E
And it's beginning to get to me
EA
That I know more of the stars and sea
A
Than I do of what's in your head
E
Barely touching in our cold bed
E
Are you beginning to get my point
E
They're always fighting with aching joints
EA
It's doing nothing but tire us out
AE
No one knows what this fight's about
E
The answer phone
AE
The lonely sound of your voice
E
Frozen in time
E
I only need
AE
The compass that you gave me
E
To guide me on
E
And it's beginning to get to me
D
That I know more of the stars and sea
A
Than I do of what's in your head
E
Barely touching in our cold bed
D
Are you beginning to get my point
A
They're always fighting with aching joints
A
It's doing nothing but tire us out
E
No one knows what this fight's about
D
It's so thrilling but also wrong
A
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
A
Cos I can carry you on my back
E
After our enemies attack
D
I tried to tell you before I left
A
But I was screaming under my breath
E
You are the only thing that makes sense
E
Just ignore all this present tense
Strum E chord loudly
E
We need to feel breathless with love
E
And not collapse under its weight
E
I'm gasping for the air to fill
E
My lungs with everything I've lost
E
We need to feel breathless with love
E
And not collapse under its weight
E
I'm gasping for the air to fill
E
My lungs with everything I've lost
