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!
This acoustic version is pretty simple but sounds really close to the actual thing. I pretty much got this down from watching people's covers on Youtube that were really good.
A# 577655 G# 466544 C#m 446654 B#? 799877
I'm not sure if its a B, but the finger positions are correct. I play without a capo because my voice is deeper, but if you're a girl, I'd probably put a capo on the 2nd fret to better fit the voice.
A#G# I awake alone C#m B# in a woman's room I hardly know. A#G# I awake alone C#m B# and pretend that I am finally home.
A#G# The room is littered C#m B# with her books and notebooks A#G# I imagine what they say, like, C#m B# "Shoo fly don't bother me." A#G#C#m I can hardly get myself out of the bed B# A#G#C#m for fear of never lying in this bed again.
B# A#G#C#m B# Oh Christ, I'm not that desperate. A#G#C#m Oh no, oh God. I am.
A#, G#, C#m, B#(x3)
How'd I end up here to begin with? I don't know. Why do I start what I can't finish? Oh please don't barrage me with the questions to all those ugly answers. My ego's like my stomach, it keeps shitting what I feed it.
But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore. Maybe I can wait in bed 'til she comes home and whispers, "You're in my web now, I've come to wrap you up tight 'til it's time to bite down."
I awake alone in a woman's room I hardly know. I awake alone and pretend that I am finally home.
