TUNING: GDAE


  Block out the noise
  It's the sound of your jaw shut, like a mousetrap


(0:34) - listen closely, the notes are played in an irregular pattern
G|----5--3--------------------------------------------|
D|----------5--3--5-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------3--1-------------3----/15----|
E|-----------------------------3--1--3----------------|
  Scratch out the sentences you write;
  They will fade into obscurity.


(0:49) - Sort steady, but stuttered pulls on the strings
G|----------------|                  |-------------------------|
D|----------------|                  |-------------------------|
A|----------------|    ?4            |-------------------------|
E|----6>----8>----|                  |----3>----1>----8~~~~----|
  If you can't wait, it'll            when you hit the floor, who's listening anyway?
   happen without you.                Skin and bones.
  If you want, it can happen again.
  It's not happiness we're after.
  With some time, we'll make it last.

E|-----------------------------3--1--3----------------|
  Wear out your welcome like a fool has sequined skin so empty.
  Hold vacant parties that'll process through the memory and repeat.

  If you can't wait, it'll            when you hit the floor, who's listening anyway?
   happen without you.                On the day you die,
  If you want, it can happen again.   Just a souvenir by youir bedside.
  It's not happiness we're after.     Skin and bones.
  With some time, we'll make it last.


  Swim through an ocean in the air.
  There is no escape what is happening.
  Pull from your body brittle bones
  It's the symptom of possibility.
