BRAND NEW - "Seventy Times Seven" Tablature

Official BRAND NEW Tablature & Sheet Music »

Band name: Brand New
Song title: Seventy times Seven
Tabbed by: Iwasjuscleaningitanditwentoff
Album:Youre Favorite Weapon

I absolutely love this band them and Taking back Sunday are two of the greatest
bands. This song is prob the best ever Brand New song, the lyrics especially
in the breakdown are so powerful.

There are two guitarists so ive split the tab in two to make it easier to read.

Standard tuning
~ let ring
x left hand mute
pm palm mute

Here goes

Guitarist 1
intro (listen to song for timing)

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------6~-------------------------------6~---------------------|
D|-----6~-------------6~---------------6x--------------6~---------------------|
A|-----6~-------------4~---------------6x--------------4~---------------------|
E|-----4~------------------------------4x-------------------------------------|


intro solo (again listen carefully for timing-pretty quick and difficult)
the break in the middle is to help with timing, at that point guitar two changes chord.

There is something going on in the verse but i cant work it out.

Lyrics

Back in school they never taught us
what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair
or someone breakin your heart
For twelve years I've held it all together
but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart
I played it quiet left you deep in conversation
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen
I remember I kept thinking
that I know you never would
And now I know I want to kill you
like only a best friend could

Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...

As if it happening wasn't enough
I got to go and write a song
just to remind myself how bad it sucked
Ignore the sun, covers over my head
Wrote a message on my pillow that says
"Jesse, stay asleep in bed"
Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!)
Search your cell for something which to hang yourself
They say you need to pray
if you want to go to heaven
But they don't tell you what to say
when your whole life has gone to Hell!

Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...

So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever



I hope thats ok i no it aint perfect but its a start
pls pls send any corrections and i will ammend the tab.
if anyone has any taking back sunday tabs especially
great romances of the 20th century or bike scene could u pls
pls e-mail me them on takingbacksunday@fsmail.net

Thanks.
