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!
I found that the other tabs for this song were inaccurate and hard to read, so I
decided to post my own version.
Capo 7th Fret
Intro:
G D C
G
Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
C
Out in the night
On the kind of night
G
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
C
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat
G
And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
C
And you feel like something
Is about to begin
G
But you don't know what
And you don't know when
C
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin
G
You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the fucking train and leave today
C
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight
G
Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself
C
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well
D
A wishing well, a wishing well
Well, you're tossed in the air
C
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
D
Where you cast your spell G
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well
G C
G
So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
C
And you think to yourself,
"This is it, this is it,
G
This is all that I have
All I can stand
C
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand
G
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell
C
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
G
Like those soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
C
To yourself, when you think
No one's listening to, well"
G
And the walls spin
And you're paper-thin
C
From the haze of the smoke
And the mescaline
G
The threat of your brow
Under unmade sheets
C
In your ear with the noise
From the darkest streets
G
We ran far and wide
You screamed, you cried
C
You thought suicide was an alibi
G
But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
C
Yeah, it's awful, I guess
But it's the awful truth
G;
It was truth from the first
To the last words that she read
D
And she emerged from the dark
Like a ghost in my head
C
She said, "I haven't forgot
Any words that you said
D
I just stare at the clocks
And I cry in my sleep
C
And I tear up your letters
And I burn them in heaps
D
And I gather the ashes
In that hole in the ground
G
Where we fell"
