Standard Tuning EADGBe
This is a simplified acoustic singer/songwriter version of the song that I figured out
(hint: on the verse the most important thing is playing the root note of the chord rather than the rest of it,
in some cases such as the E chord it is preferred to play the open E string instead of a chord)
Intro: B D C (tab for the intro can be found on the bottom)
Verse 1:
B F# G E
This morning I made the call
B F# G E
The one that ends it all
B F# G E
Hanging up,I wanted to cry
B F# G E
But dammit,this well's gone dry
A E F C
Not for the money,
A E F C
Not for the fame
B F# G E
Not for the power,
B F# G E
Just no more games
Chorus 1:
B F# G E F# D D B
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
B F# G E F# D D B
I can't replace the lies,that let a 1000 days ago
B F# G E F# D D B
No more living trapped inside in her way I'll surely die
B F# G E F#
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away
(play the first part of the verse rhythm twice before the lyrics continue [B F# G E])
Verse 2:
B F# G E
You'll grow to loathe my name
B F# G E
You'll hate me just the same
B F# G E
You won't need your breath
B F# G E
And soon you'll meet your death
A E F C
Not from the years
A E F C
Not from the use
B F# G E
Not from the tears
B F# G E
Just self abuse
Chorus 2:
B F# G E F# D D B
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
B F# G E F# D D B
I can't replace the lies,that let a 1000 days ago
B F# G E F# D D B
No more living trapped inside in her way I'll surely die
B F# G E F#
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away
Post Chorus:
B F# G B F# G D
Who's to say, what's for me to say
B F# G B F# G D
Who's to say, what's for me to be
A E F A E F C
Who's to say, what's for me to do
B F# G B F# G D B
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me
Outro:
(play intro)
B
The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light
(guitar solo)
B
Can't say what's on my mind
Can't do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep,I really feel
(instrumental break)
B
I warn you of the fate
Proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse
Come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain
I spin you round again
My poison fills your head
As I tuck you into bed
You feel my fingertips
You won't forget my lips
You'll feel my cold breath
It's the kiss of death
(instrumental outro)
