These are the chords to the Circa Survive song, Sharp Practice Acoustic. It is tuned in D,
(also known as one whole step down). I am in particular tabbing the video where they are playing
in a tattoo parlor. There are 3 guitars in that version, but all they are really doing is
playing the same chords in different positions to add more depth and clarity, or slight variations
of those chords, but I will be tabbing this song for just one guitar.
In this tab I am referring to the chords by their shapes, so it can be much easier for
you to transpose
to any key by using a capo.
In the section I labeled bridge, I use a B7 chord, with a muted low E (6th string) it
looks like this
e---2
B---0
G---2
D---1
A---2
E---x
You could also choose to use a regular B chord!
I hope you enjoy and please leave some feedback!
Intro:
Am E x2
Verse:
Am E Am
Tripping over things unsaid
E Am
In a constant motion
E Am
I cannot recognize the truth
E Am
Cause it's unfamiliar
E Am
If you didn't have so much left to prove
E Am
Would there be resistance
E Am
Kicking up this cloud of dust
E
'Til it covers us?
Pre-Chorus:
D E F
I have been there and done it a thousand times

Never with my eyes open

You get what you pay for

We can't sell our goddamn souls anymore

Anymore

Again! Again!
B
It's up to you to make sense of it
Am E x2
Oh
Verse:
Am E Am
No one hesitates to taste
E Am
When they come and throw their feet down
E Am
If you want to not make haste
E Am
Keep your feet on the ground
E Am
I hear it coming from a million miles away
E Am
Like a stampede of footsteps
E Am
Kicking up this cloud of dust
E
'Til it covers us
Pre-Chorus:
D E F
You can't control what has happened to your heart

So many words flooding in my vacant mind
B7 C B7 Em
Too little space, too little sleep, too little time
G C
Tripping over things unsaid
Am Em
In a constant motion
G C
I cannot recognize the truth
Am D E
Cause I've never known it
F
I've never known it

We can't sell our goddamn souls anymore

Anymore
