This is my fav song from this band and the only tab on here didn't sound right to me (or
maybe its just me), so I thought I'd figure it out with the help of TDF#1Fan's chords
because I wanted to learn to play this song and decided to make tabs for it. This is my
first tab, so if anything sounds off, please email me back at [email protected]. I
would appreciate it because I do want to play this song. :) These chords sound remotely close.
VERSE 1:
Dm F
Stand in line, like military time,
Bb A
flowers blooming up from dirt.
Dm F
Wear the ties and complicated lies,
Bb F
there's wrinkles on a fresh-pressed shirt.
Dm F
He stands alone, conforming on his own,
Bb A
he's thinking but he does not speak.
Dm F
He tries to fight, the edge is on his mind,
Bb A
but she is what he truly seeks.
Bbm A
But she is what he truly seeks.....
CHORUS:
F Dm
Hey, is anybody out there?
C Bb Bbm
I'm reaching out.... Hey?
Dm
Is anybody out there?
C Bb Bbm
I'm coming down..... Hey?
Dm
Is anybody out there?
C Bb Bbm A
I'm freaking out... I'm freaking out..
VERSE 2:
Dm F
The heat does rise, performing double time,
Bb A
The sweat is falling from his brow.
Dm F
He's near his prize, but she begins to fly.
Bb F
He knows that he must act, the time is now.
Dm F
A dance, they play an ancient lover's game,
Bb A
averts his eyes and chooses not to stare.
Dm F
The trick, he sees, is aiming not to please,
Bb A
pretending that he doesn't really care.
Bbm A
If you want her, then pretend that you don't care...
CHORUS:
F Dm
Hey, is anybody out there?
C Bb Bbm
I'm reaching out.... Hey?
Dm
Is anybody out there?
C Bb Bbm
I'm coming down..... Hey?
Dm
Is anybody out there?
C Bb Bbm A
I'm freaking out... I'm freaking out..
Instrumental: Dm (keep strumming until the bridge)
BRIDGE:
Dm F
We're trapped inside a star, oh we have gone too far.
Bb A
All we want is to escape, escape, escape....
Chorus:
(no chord)
Hey, is there anybody out there?
A
So shout it out!
F Dm
Hey, is anybody out there?
C Bb Bbm
I'm reaching out.... Hey?
Dm
Is anybody out there?
C Bb Bbm
I'm coming down..... Hey?
Dm
Is anybody out there?
C Bb
I'm freaking out...
