Hi everyone. This is my first tab ever, so bare with me. It´s from Erik´s live performance on, Musikplats Stockholm SR P4/Swedish Radio.
The chords are just simply used, i cant really tell you what strumming to use but here is the link from his live session. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve3jOOCRmb4
Am I was wide awake in a sleeping town G Was infected by its void F So I left that life back into 2K4 Am Couldnt take it anymore
GF While the small town boys were busy being bored
Am When youre pushed around, when youre on the ground G You got to learn your lessons fast F You just keep your mouth shut, hold your head down Am And pray that it wont last GF And All the things I was fighting to keep out
Am Always found a shortcut back in G You could tell when I was faking F Now my heart is slowly breaking GAm But its ok
Chorus:
Am Are you leaving G Are you leaving me now
Are you leaving F Are you leaving me now GAm If you leave you got to leave me now G Are you babe
Am Are you leaving G Are you leaving me now F Are you telling me this is the last time GAm If you leave you got to leave me now
When I left this town I was beaten down I was ready to just give in I was a small town boy with big ideas But nostalgia always win And all this time you were always on my mind
So Im driving by your house tonight No one lives there anymore Its so hard to imagine I once belonged in this complete unknown And all the things we were fighting to keep out
Somehow found a shortcut back in You could see when I was faking Now my heart is slowly breaking But its ok
[chorus]
Dont leave me This is the last time Dont leave me Cant believe this is the last time
Are you leaving Are you leaving me now Are you leaving Are you leaving me now
If you leave you got to leave me now Are you telling me this is the last time Are you leaving Are you leaving me now And can’t you see I am down on my knees now
If you leave you got to leave me now And cant you see I am down on my knees now x2
