Here's a tab of one of the songs from Peter Gabriel's "Us"-album, since I couldn't
find it anywhere. Very easy to play a great acoustic version as well!
Tuning: standard
Em 022000
C 032010
D x00232 (or, Dsus: x00230)
G 320033
F 133211
Am x02210
A5 x02200
Intro: Em
Verse 1:
Em
So, you know how people are. When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made. Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show that fear of letting go
DEm
And in this moment, I need to be needed
DEm
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
DEm
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
CG
'Cause I love to be loved
DEm
I love to be loved
CG
I love to be loved
DEm
Yes, I love to be loved
Verse 2:
Em
I cry the way that babies cry. The way they can't deny
the way they feel. Words, they climb all over you
'Til they uncover you from where you hide
DEm
And in this moment, I need to be needed
DEm
When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
DEm
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
CG
'Cause I love to be loved
DEm
I love to be loved
CG
I love to be loved
DEm
Oh I love to be loved
Bridge:
FAmG
This old familiar craving
FAmG
I've been here before, this way of behaving
FAmGFGm
Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
FAmGF
Let it pass let it go let it leave
AmGF
From the deepest place I grieve
AmGFAm
This time I believe
GFGm
And I let go
FAmGFAm
And I let go
GFGm
I can let go of it
FAmGF
Though it takes all the strength in me
AmGF
And all the world can see
AmGF
I'm losing such a central part of me
AmG
I can let go of it
FAmG
You know I mean it
FAmG
You know that I mean it
FAmG
I recognize how much I've lost
FAm
But I cannot face the cost
GFFm
'Cause I love to be loved
AmGFGm
Yes I love to be loved
F
I love to be loved
FAmA5
I love to be loved
FAmA5
I love to be loved
FGAmA5
Yes I love to be loved
AAAA5
Note: listen to the record to get the exact timing of the chords. In the bridge-thingy,
you don't have to play Am inbetween F and G all the time to make it sound right. In the
last four or five lines the guitar changes to Am at the end of each line. I've put in
Am and A5 just for the sake of variation if you're playing an acoustic version. I don't
think it's actually on the recording.
