Biography:
The Spill Canvas started in 2002 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota as a side project for lead singer, Nick Thomas, who at the time, was guitarist and backup vocalist for metalcore outfit Nodes of Ranvier. As time passed, Thomas resigned from Nodes and went full-time with The Spill Canvas. While growing up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Thomas recorded his first songs at age 15, funded by his father who strongly encouraged his son's evident musical talent.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
So this is my first time tabbing and I'm not the best musician nor do I think I'm 100%
correct on most things but I do not mind some constructive criticism. So here is my take
on Himerus & Eros by The Spill Canvas.
There are three main chords used during the song played using different strumming and
picking patterns.
There is some form of B, an F# and a G#m
B chord?
e-0
B-0

The way I play the beginning picking pattern goes like this (I am aware that there is a
little pull off thing at the end of the G#m but I don't play it and it sounds fine.):

B B
You're captivating while evading
F# G#m
All the questions I have for you like,
B B
"What exactly makes you tick?"
F#
When the guilt sets in tell me
G#m B F# G#m (hit once and then mute)
What are we going to do?
B(palm mute twice then let ring) B
Your tongue is wet with a top secret passion
F# G#m
I hope I am the cause of it
B(palm mute twice then let ring) B
We'll navigate this unsturdy vessel
F# G#m
Through a soft sea of pillows and blankets
B(palm mute twice then let ring) B
F#(palm mute and slowly let off while strumming) G#m(hit once then let ring)
F# G#m
And I... fight the urge to explore
B
The vastness of your curves I adore
F# G#m (hit and mute after each note, listen to the song for timing)
You know I, I hate you
B
No, I hate you more
F# G#m (hit and mute after each note, listen to the song for timing)
You know I, I love you
B
No, I love you more
F#
Yes, it's true
G#m
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
B
I still somehow hope I end up with you
F#
Yes, it's true
G#m
I romanticize every single thing I do
B F# G#m (hit once and then mute)
Especially when it comes to you
B(palm mute twice then let ring) B
I've sunken in the quicksands of love
F# G#m
And I don't want you to rescue me
B(palm mute twice then let ring) B
Screw what my supposed friends think
F# G#m
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
B(palm mute twice then let ring) B
F# G#m
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
B(palm mute twice then let ring) B
F#(palm mute and slowly let off while strumming) G#m(hit once then let ring)

F#

G#m

B
Especially when it comes to you
D# D C#
I hope to God I mean a little more than the sounds that escape your tired
B G#
4 A.M..... lips
D# D C#
And oh-how I wish I meant a little more than a symphony of heavy breathing
B G# A#(hit
once)B(build up)
and the friction of..... hips oh-oh-ooooh
F#
Yes, it's true
G#m
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
B
I still somehow hope I end up with you
F#
Yes, it's true
G#m
I romanticize every single thing I do
B F# G#m (hit once and end it)
Especially when it comes to you
So that's it. Please feel free to rate it exactly how you feel about it and or let me
know if there are other parts in here where the timing may be off or if there is a better
chord to use than what I am doing.
