The Loved Ones (EP)
Standard Tuning
Update: 3/11/06 - Fixed Lyrics (i know my interpretation was the worst). This song was
rerecorded for the Loved Ones' full length "Keep Your Heart". It's generally the same
idea. Pick up the cd!
Intro
[E] [A] [B] [A] [E] [A] [B] [A] [E] [A] [B] [C#] [A] [B]
Verse (part 1)
Guitar 1 Guitar 2 (throughout)
3x
Are you ok
Are you alright
Another bad dream
Kept you up all night
Verse (part 2)
You've ground your teeth
Down to the gums
Your eyes are bloodshot
From staring at the sun
Prechorus
[A]You say you're ok and you're keeping the pace
[B]But the damage done is written all over your face
Chorus
[E]Given the [A]chance, I'd rather [B]rot in [A]hell
[E]See you [A]fade selling the [B]lies they [A]tell
[E]Burn the [A]house down and [B]break the [C#]spell this t[A]ime
[B]This time
This time[E]
Fill (on the KEEP YOUR HEART version, play an open G, too)
Verse 2
Guitar 1 Guitar 2 (throughout)
2x
So what do you say
We'll go tonight
We'll take a load of bad drugs
And stay up all night
2x w/ Fill 2
We'll ride away
Sleep where we fall
We'll slit our own throats
Bathe in the waterfall
Fill 2
Prechorus
Guitar 2
[A]I can see it all over your face
[B]You've been numb for days and days[E]
[A]Your back is breaking under the load
[B]Your head is pounding like it's ready to explode
Chorus
Bridge
