It's a great song to listen to, and play. In the tab I've mostly put what the rhythm guitar is doing above the tab in chord form (if you don't kno what they are, look down the bottom) but sometimes the lead and rhythm can be played on one guitar and so I've put it just on one staff. Tuning: Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb (both guitars) Intro D5 |------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------| |------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------| |-----3---3------3----------------3---3------3---------|-----3---3------3------| |-1-1---1---1--1---1----------1-1---1---1--1---1---x-x-|-1-1---1---1--1---1----| |--------------------x-2-2-4---------------------x-x-x-|--------------------x--| |--------------------------------------------------x-x-|-----------------------| | |------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------| |-1-1---------1-1----1--------0------------------------| |-1-1---------1-1----0--------0------------------------| |-1-1-------------------------0------------------------| F5 G5 D5 F5 -----------------------------------|-----------(6)-----------------------------| -----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| ------------3---3------3-----------|-----3---3--3*---3----------------3---3----| --------1-1---1---1--1---1---------|-1-1---1-------1---1----------1-1---1---1--| -2-3-4---------------------x-2-2-4-|---------------------x-2-2-4---------------| -----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| x3 G5 ----------------| ----------------| ---3------------| -1---1----------| -------x-2-2-4--| ----------------| Verse |------6-6--6-6--6-6--6-----4-4--4-4--4-4--4-------------| |------7-7--7-7--7-7--7-----4-4--4-4--4-4--4---------7---| |--------------------------------------------4-------x---| |-1-1-------------------1-1------------------4-------4---| |-1-1-------------------1-1------------------2-----------| |-1-1-------------------1-1------------------4-----------| ^ strum ^ Bridge |-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|---------| |-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-x-x-x-x-| |---------------------------------------------|---------------|-x-x-x-x-| |---------------------------------------------|---------------|-x-x-x-x-| |---------------------------------------------|---------------|-x-x-x-x-| |---------------------------------------------|---------------|-x-x-x-x-| 1,2,3 4 Chorus D5 F5 G5 D5 |--------------------------------------------------------|-----------(6)----------------| |--------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------| |-----3---3------3----------------3---3------3-----------|-----3---3--3*----3-----------| |-1-1---1---1--1---1----------1-1---1---1--1---1---------|-1-1---1--------1---1---------| |--------------------x-2-2-4---------------------x-2-2-4-|----------------------x-2-2-4-| |--------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------| x3 F5 G5 ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -----3---3------3-----------| -1-1---1---1--1---1---------| --------------------x-2-2-4-| ----------------------------| Play Verse and Bridge, then...

I write to spare you irony, and send word of a curse Long were the lights out, seal them some way Before the blade deploys itself and chooses who to slay There is still time left in this vacancy An unlived life flows freely in your veins Dear Passion; blessed be Take this to the grave Years empty endlessly to crash here on the waves Long were the lights out, seal them some way Before the blade deploys itself and chooses who to slay There is still time left in this vacancy An unlived life flows freely in your veins Take your pride out of place Takes your nose out of joint Take your eyes off the blade Take the edge off the point Reveal new life Reveal and smile There is still time left in this vacancy An unlived life flows freely in your veins
