Howards Alias - The Drop
Tabbed by: dukeandy
Intro: Am-E x2
Verse:
Am
These buildings are dead, I watched as they crumbled around me,
Dm Am E
And things that I thought were important all fell from my head.
Am
I stumbled, fell back, then pretty much stared in amazement,
Dm Am
Whilst feeling the long lost caress of a past that's come back.
E E7 (hold)
Will you stop me when it's done?
Interlude
Am-Dm-Am-E-Dm-Am-E
Verse Chords as above:
The picture's blurred out, a wishy-washy reflection that's frayed
At the edges, And burned to a cinder is all I've made out.
So, just how could you tell? 'Cause I so thought my teary-eyed mask had you
Fooled for a second but we're dead on our feet in this spell.
E E7 (hold) Am
Will you stop me when it's done? I'm falling apart.
Dm E Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
Dm E Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
Dm E Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
Dm E
Falling apart.
C E Am
Is it the windows I've hid behind covered in sheets;
C E Am
Or songs sung in tongues about you and me?
C E Am
Old memories sacred that have faded to black?
C E Am
That hence so far, this feeling can never grow back.
Verse Chords as above (quieter):
This blueprint worked out to be everything we didn't want,
From beginning to end all we're left with is signs of self doubt.
And now we can see; with clear heads, and open eyes.
Horizons are laced with the poisons of all that can and can't be.
E
Will you stop me? Oh. Will you stop me? Oh.
E7 Am
Please can somebody stop me when I'm done? I'm falling apart.
Dm E Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
Dm E Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
Dm E Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
Dm E
Falling apart.
(quiet single strum)
Am Dm E
Falling apart.
