[Verse 1]
Continue the intro picking with 2nd guitar strumming the chords
Am
Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces,
C
Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go.
Am
Watching from both sides these, clock towers burning up,
C Am
I lost my time here, I lost my patience with it all. Mmmm
Then the picking slightly changes
Am C
E||-------------3-------|-------------3-------|-------------3-------|-------------3-------|
B||----1--3--1----3--1--|----1--3--1----3--1--|----1--5--1----3--1--|---1--5--1----3--1---|
G||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
D||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
A||--0------------------|--0------------------|--3------------------|--3------------------|
E||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
Then just the chords
F G
We lost faith, in the arms of love.
Chorus, here I integrate this pattern into the chords:
E||---------------------|
B||---------------------|
G||------------0--------|
D||--2--2--2-2---2-0-2--|
A||---------------------|
E||---------------------|
So something like this (fast strumming, you'll work out the rhythm Im sure :], this is
just the basic idea)
Am C
E||-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|--------------------|
B||-1--1--1-1-1-1-1-1-|-1--1--1-1-1-1-1-1-|-1--1--1-1-1-1-1-1-|-1--1--1-1-1-1-1-1--|
G||-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0--|
D||-2--2--2-2---2-0-2-|-2--2--2-2---2-0-2-|-2--2--2-2---2-0-2-|-2--2--2-2---2-0-2--|
A||-0--0--0-0---0-0-0-|-0--0--0-0---0-0-0-|-3--3--3-3---3-3-3-|-3--3--3-3---3-3-3--|
E||-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|--------------------|
As you strum try to pick out the pattern at the same time
Am C
Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the news?
Am C
Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting with the wolves.
Am C
Ooooaaaah With the wolves.
Am C
Ooooooaaah With the wolves. Red tongues and hands.
[Verse 2]
(Same as verse 1)
Am
Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces,
C
Now that we're lonely, now that we're so far from home.
Am
Watching from both sides, these towers been tumbling down,
C
I lost my mind here, I lost my patience with the lord.
Am C
Oh with the lord.
Am G
We lost faith, oh in the arms of love.
[Chorus]
Am C
Love love love
Am C
Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the news?
Am C
Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting with the wolves.
Am C
Ooooooaaah With the wolves.
Am C
Ooooooaaah With the wolves. Red tongues and hands.
Am C
Red tongues and hands.
[Break]
Oooo Oh oh oh
Am C
Oooo Oh oh oh oooohhhh x2
Am G
We lost faith, in the arms of love.
finish on Am
Little extra!!!
If Im playing this on my own during the verses I integrate the verse picking with the
chords but an octave down, so the pattern is:
E||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
B||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
G||--2--0---------------|--2--0---------------|---------0-----------|---------------------|
D||----------2----0--2--|---------2----0--2---|--0--2--------2--0---|--0--2---------------|
A||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
E||---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
So as you strum the chords play this pattern at the same time, again works best with
fast strumming
Am C
E||-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B||-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|
G||-2-2-0-0---------|-2-2-0-0---------|---------0-0-----|---------0-0-----|
D||-----2-2-2-2-0-2-|-----2-2-2-2-0-2-|-0-0-2-2-----2-0-|-0-0-2-2-----2-0-|
A||-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
