Letter From A Thief

Biography:

Chevelle is an alternative metal band from Grayslake, IL. They formed in 1994 with the members of Sam Loeffler, Pete Loeffler (brothers) and Matt Scott. Matt was later replaced in 1996 by Joe Loeffler as bass player. On July 10, 2005 Joe was fired because of "irreconcilable differences". Geno Lenardo (Filter) filled in until August 2005, when Dean Bernardini (brother-in-law to the Loefflers) became the new bass player of Chevelle.

Inspired by the lurching riffs of Helmet and the soft/loud vocal styling of Tool

Intro/Verses In Order - Bm G A

Bm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They know what everybody knows
Bm G A
Better sit a letter from a thief says
Bm
Why lead when everybody sleeps
So few ways to
G A
Cover up the old wounds
Bm
Lost in a finger forced to lie

This sends us medicating
G A
Through it all

Chorus-

G A
If you ever enter my mind
Bm D
Stay there, you'll live
G A
Defend it off and fool them all
Bm D Ending Chorus into next verse - G
Stay there

{Same Rythm and Chords as first verse}

Faceless, so little there to judge
Left wing, let's separate the cold out
Opposites, we never need to tell
One sting, I found I'm having to,
I'm having to

{Same rythm and Chords as first Chorus}

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all

This is the bridge I couldn't figure out

Solitude
waste of a man
This fades as soon as the sun sets

Chords during Solo - Bm D A G - Repeat about 2 or three times

G A Bm
I now own this fatal role that lives
D
Imagine here's a better feel
G A
Told to dissolve or choose to fade
Bm D
Or stay here
D G - Carries on into next chorus
you'll live

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there, you'll live

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there -
Song ends on Bm or G, I can't really tell, either one is fine.
