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!
I played this by ear since i have never seen them play this song live. you can hear this along with all their other early creations at http://forthesilent.infinitealchemy.com/
OH YEAH ALSO! i dont know how to link the blue chords to show what they are so i appologise.
Intro: [(FCAm)x3(AmCG)x1]x2
(Your actually suposed to pluck the strings but i dont know the exact order because the is too loud in the beginning and it drowns out the guitar.)
FCAm And they don't see FCAm that my smile is thin FCAm And it's peeling off AmFG inch by inch FCAm And when it goes FCAm My whole disguise FCAm will slither off AmCG before your eyes
Verse 1: (same as intro but strum 3 times as triplets and double up on the last chord of line.)
[(F x3 C x3 Am x6)x3 (Am x3 C x3 x3)x1]x2
FCAm And I'll stand nude FCAm My eyes roll out FCAm Reveal my skull AmCG A cave of doubt FCAm My surgeries done FCAm You gave the knife FCAm I need you here AmCG to save my life
{vvvv Use a steady down stroke for this part vvvv}
Chorus: (Am x8 F x8 C x8 G x8)x2
AmF So please stay in tonight CG Pull the soul from my eyes, pull the soul from my eyes Am And say goodnight F Just stay at home C Strip me down to the bone G I can't be alone
Verse 2: Same chords as first verse but play harder until you get to the part "an all schools" strum once until the next chorus.
FCAm And they don't see FCAm The nagging stress FCAm That beats and beats AmCG inside my chest FCAm And kiss my heart FCAm To keep it safe FCAm Where no one else AmCG can make it break FCAm And all the schools FCAm they sent me to FCAm The upper class ants AmCG march two by two FCAm A 4 - . - 0 FCAm for each brave boy FCAm Well I won't f*ck with them
AmCG an--ymore
Chorus: Same
Verse 3: Same as all the others
FCAm And the days go by FCAm I still believe FCAm There is someone who AmCG Can comfort me FCAm And the days go by FCAm I still believe AmCG There's a lonesome place for me
Solo: (FCFCFCAmG)x3 ---Triplets again--- when u hear the variants which will be on Am and G just strum the low notes of Am and high notes of G. Play around with it and you can make its sound the same without even power chords.
Final Chorus: First time that you use (Am F C G) strum once then palm mute. The second strum only twice with no palm mute. and then repeat the chorus one last time but play the 8 strums on each note.
AmF So please stay in tonight CG Pull the soul from my eyes, pull the soul from my eyes Am And say goodnight F Just stay at home C Strip me down to the bone G I can't be alone
