MAD PROPS to aleckillscobra for originally tabbing this song.
I play an acoustic by myself, however, and lyrics are important to me.
Here is a chord sheet.
I can't seem to decide whether to play Am-Ab or A-Abm or just Ab-A
just feel it.
(E B A Ab A B)x2
EBA
Well its OK to want, but its less OK to need
AbAB
'Cause I started to get greedy, that's the last thing I would need
EAAb
Getting comfortable with all my friends, finding no need tooooooo explore
AB
and now I wanna get away from life ('cause I'm so fucking bored)
EBA
Did you ever get the feeling your trying put out the sun
AbAB
With nothing but a pink and plastic broken water gun
EBA
Yeah, trying to extinguish all the angst that I don't need inside
AbAB
I wanna get away from life and do something before I die.
EB
...Its so monotonous.
AbA
...The daily grind:
F#mAbA
I get up, wake up, go to work or don't, maybe hang out with my friends,
E
then bed. Time I spend has become frivolous
AbF#m
...Writing songs that no one understands
AE
but plenty will feel obliged to berate.
B
So one day I went nuts.
AAABE
I don't remember exactly how it happened but now my mind doesn't like me
BA
Seeking therapy never was the way for me
Ab
I got fucked and bounced right back,
ABE
...music was supposed to be a haven.
BA
Yeah, but now I wonder was it a waste of time.
AbABE
Should I institute mind withvimandvigorseekinga future.
BA
Yeah, when I figure it all out
AbAB
I'll create a flux capacitator and travel back in time.
GO!
Ab
I'd leave you behind,
F#mA
but my empty closet bookshelf mind finds it so hard to say goodbye
E
--What I think I wanna do.
B
--A guitar.
--A case of rancid flu.
F#m
--A burnt up photograph of you.
A
And soon I will be leaving you
C#mAbAB
It never made much sense to me to celebrate the rain
The odds are stacked up against us.
It may help but there's still pain.
So as I sit in the cold and wet writing waiting for a sign
My eyes light up with a ray of hope
She'll never again get to be mine.
C#mAbAB
I died inside now I don't know what to do.
I died and I thought that you would help me.
C#mAbAB
There's a fire inside when I say this to you.
C#mAbABE
You're not mine any more.
Well it's funny how it all works out this time isn't it, you heartless bitch?
(BITCH!)
And don't think I really care if you give me a phone call anymore or even talk to me...
'Cuz if you give me some meaningless obligatory pity-based friendship that doesn't
really mean anything, just like your life and mine, you're the only one who's got a friend
tomorrow in the fucking morning.
EBA
...You lost your chance with selfishness but
AbAB
It all comes back to the same problem.
EBA
I am lonely, but don't want you.
Ab
Someday you'll feel this too.
AB
Your problems I can't solve them.
EBAAb
I'll be gone with a damp piece of paper reading your address.
ABE
Maybe I'll write you someday.
BAAABE
I thought I'd call but the mechanisms won't let me submit
(ooohhhh, oooooohhh, ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh)
