Too Close To Touch - Nerve Endings
Difficulty = Intermediate/Advanced
Thanks to 'heyfirefly' for guiding me towards this version
using his origional chord suggestions
This is for standard E tuning, converted/transposed
to make it playable on a single accoustic guitar
If you want to expand apon it... even MORE you can
add notes from the minor pentatonic scale they use - B A C F# G

[Verse]
Em
I felt you wear me thin, remind me of a
D
heart that
Dmaj5
once caved
C/B C
in And a
C/B
pulse that felt so
C
distant
Em
I begged you for silence than, digging deeper at the
D
thorns un-
Dmaj5
-der my
C/B
skin
C
From a
C/B
head that wouldn't
D/A
listen
[^^Remember to rake UPWARD on the words 'in' and 'skin' on the 'C/B' chord]
[Chorus]
Em
I don't feel anything, my mind tells me I
D
can't get
Dmaj5
out of
C
this, I won't fall for it, never show them what
Bm D
weakness is
Em
I don't feel anything, my mind tells me I
D
can't get
Dmaj5
out of
C
this, I won't fall for it, I feel my bones as they're
Bm D
tightening
[Verse]
Em
I thought you'd set me free
D Dmaj5 C/B
You faded when I pleaded leave me, be
C C/B C C/B
Left my vision toe to toe with broken soul remission
Em
I find I've been deceived
D Dmaj5 C/B
A giant lying silent inside, me
C
I need to face the truth
C/B
It's hard to hide what's inside of you
[Chorus]
Em
I don't feel anything
D Dmaj5 C
My mind tells me I can't get out of this
I won't fall for it
Bm D
Never show them what weakness is
Em
I don't feel anything
D Dmaj5 C
My mind tells me I can't get out of this
I won't fall for it
Bm
I feel my bones as they're tightening
add some palm-mutey-ness at the end, u got ears
[Bridge 1]
[So, use the chorus chord progression
and throw in a bunch of those cool
mutey-strums "chick-ah-chicka-ah"
use the Dmaj5b varient for more easy]
EmEsusEmDmaj5 D C Dmajb9
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
C D Bm Dmajb9

[Bridge 2]
Use the open triads of 'Em' and 'D' it
helps define it as the 'middle 8' for
this song
Em
I am just a shell
Of the empty shattered nerves
Dmaj5 C/B C
A skeleton that's lost it's skin
D
And I want back in
[Bridge 1]
