Blue October is an alternative rock band headquartered in San Marcos, Texas, but is originally from Houston, Texas. The band was formed in 1995 when two former high school friends Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals) and Ryan Delahoussaye (violin/viola, mandolin, keyboards, and vocals), set out to create an alternative rock band that has since gone on to have twelve Top 40 singles across nine studio albums and six albums reaching the Top 40 charts.
Current members of Blue October include Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals)
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!
Kind of tricky song, and this is my first tab...so be "gentle" I guess. The Prechorus is a little sketchy, but it's right with the music.
Capo on 1
INTRO - |: Bb-C :|
Verse: FC I really need to talk with you Dm I keep stepping on the vein Bb That keeps my lifeline flowing through. FC I wanna be your perfect stick of glue Dm But I don't feel perfect at all,
A Sad and insecure flaw FC I find it hard to hold conversation DmBb I get sweaty, sick, and I wanna walk away FC It's not you, this is strictly me in this situation Dm I'm wondering will it ever go away? Just go away...
PRE-CHORUS Bb Sometimes I feel like weeping A Awake and when I'm sleeping AbmF Perfecting how to put a game face on Bb This puzzle I've been keeping A Has been in hiding creeping AbmA Out the closet door, spilling out onto the floor;
CHORUS FCDmBbFCDmBb How long will I be picking up the pieces? FCDmBb ... C How long will I be picking up my heart?
VERSE FC I'll be as honest as I feel Dm I'm getting more paranoid, and I'm hearing things BbF And they never turn out real. C It feels like my heart is made of pure steel, Dm It's just so heavy all the time.
(little interlude here, obviously) FC Yea I'm scared of death, I'm scared of living DmBb I gave up on the past 'cause it was unforgiving F I misplaced my trust, C Watched my words begin to rust, Dm I'm a balloon about to bust Bb I need a place for reliving still -
CHORUS 2 FCDm How long in another place in time, BbFCDmBb Picking up the pieces in the corner of my mind? FCDm How long, living oh so hard to find, BbFCDmBb Picking up the pieces in the corner of my mind?
Ends with "Whoa's" and "I still walk on / I wake up every morning," using the same chords and timing from the chorus. Enjoy, rate and comment if there are problems.
