Bad Books - You're a Mirror I Cannot Avoid Tabbed by: Ryan Mack Email: Mackryan09@gmail.com Tuning: One half-step down (Eb Ab C# F# Bb Eb) This is probably my favorite song on the entire album and the other tab doesn't do it justice. I don't know my chord names that well so I provided diagrams at the bottom Intro - Dm Bb F I caught you caroling and giving grief Gm Dm Thought you were cannonballing after me Ab F Ab Bb C I let your actions speak for themselves Dm And wished you well Bb F But youre a mirror I cannot avoid Gm Dm Strung out and jittery and paranoid Ab F Ab Bb C A leaky battery that cant keep charged Gm Bb Cm Get in the car F Dm and say what you mean Bb Cm F Explain yourself to me Gm Dm C/C+ and Ill try not to judge you more than you would Let me help, I promise not to tell Like anyones asking or anyone should First time I met you I was full of fear Knew that eventually youd disappear Just when I needed you youd burn to smoke And off you go Just come back and peel away the mess Lay here beside me and open your eyes Take it back your dignity your tact Turn back to the person you tried to let die I caught you nesting with your analog Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs Becoming infinite against his couch Open your mouth and say the words You used to wish you heard Back when you focused enough to be good And if youre gone An endless false alarm Just remember I loved you As long as I could Bb - 013300 F - 133000 Gm - 355000 Ab - 002020 Cm - 035500 C/C+ 032010/054030
