Tidal Waves by Matt Duke Tabbed by Ben Mascioli Capo on 3rd Fret G: 320033 C: x32033 D: x00233 Em:022033 Intro: G C D G Em C D (Note: On the transition from the G to the Em, walk the sixth string from 3 to 0) G C D G So here's the note I left by the fireplace and ash Em C D From all the notes that I had burned not long ago. G C D G It's great how severing all these ties can make things right, Em C D Or at least less wrong than they ever were before. G C D G Those days I'd sit, pensive, by the window and I could taste Em C D The awful flavor of nostalgia mixed with hurt. G C But now my mouth, my mouth is dry. D G I choke on logic and my tongue is tied Em C D From reciting inspired bible verses and foolish lies. Em They say that this world is a wide open road G D Em And we're stuck holding the wheel, Em C D But in one hand's a whiskey and the other's too drunk to steer, G So where do we go from here? G C D G Em C D G C I dance and I pray, I dance and pray for rain D G To wipe this earth out once again!- Em C D And extend those forty days and nights indefinitely. G C D G There will be tidal waves as all of our problems wash away, Em C D You can here my laughter just before I start to drown. Em If everyone here is a child of God, G D Em Then the world is a pitiless whore C D And He's still playing favorites and behind on His child support. G So where do we go from here now? G C D G Em C D Quietly, play each chord only once: Em The noose that we wear doesn't matter at all, G D Em (Unless we kick out our feet) C (begin to build back up...) D Perhaps our salvation is to know that we're incomplete. Back at regular volume: G C So here's the note, the note that counts, D G Explaining why I wanted out. Em It reads in small print: C D "I'm much to tired to think anymore..." G So where do we go from here? Etc. (Repeat "Where do we go from here now?" with the occasional vocal riffing til end.)
