Play these chords very loosely, hitting open strings often. This
is just an example. Anything you play with those chords will sound good.
Verse -
-- Same as Intro riff but not as broken up. Repeat Fill 1 often --
-Verse 1:
E5(7th fret) C5
Wherever you are, you will carry always
Truth of the scars, darkness on your faith (FILL 1)
Slowly move on, how did we get to here
All went wrong, gravity claiming all your tears
E5
Everything looks so much better now
C5 (FILL 1)
Looks so much better now
Pre Chorus -
E5 (on 7th fret) C5
You will get yours You will get yours
-- Repeat several times getting progressively heavier --
Chorus -
A5 C5
You have no right to ask me now ("calm me down" on other choruses)
C5 G5 F5
You were never that around
F5 G5 F5
And I have missed
-- return to verse on first chorus --
E5(7th fret) C5
Cold contaigous
All the mighty mighty men
What you save is
What you loose out in the end
Cold contaigous
Cold contaigous
-- repeat verse --
-Verse 2:
E5 C5
Reality daytrips, and your suit-me suit-me ways
Turn out the light switch, we've been awake for days
E5
And no-ones coming round here no more
C5
No-ones coming round here
-Verse 3:
-- Only play bassline with distorted guitar noises --
E5 C5
Paint your perfect day, I don't mind this
I'm better off by the way, deeply grounded (FILL 1)
-- play bassline once alone --
Before the last chorus play this and then skip the first part of
the chorus and go to where he sings "Cold Contaigous"
E5 (pause) C5
E5 (pause) C5
(heavy downstrokes)
Well, thats it. There are a lot of free flowing guitar riffs guitarist
Nigel Pulsford plays while Gavin plays the Verse riff. They're basically
notes around the E5 and C5 chords and shouldn't be hard to figure out.
I particularly like this song because all the cool parts are done with
a guitar instead of a violin and cello as they are on most of the songs.
