"Living Room" (From the "Arlington to Boston" Album)
by: Emmet Swimming
Tabbed by: Eric Wiltshire and Tom Gallo
Verse:
[E]Gave up tryi[F#]ng, you've be[A]en seen lying around
Hoping someone [C#]would, tel[B]l you where to go
[E]You swing your p[F#]artner, God'[A]s your partner now
And you just dipped him o[C#]n the floor[B]
Bridge:
[A]If you see me [C#]going by
[A]Then you've seen [B]me going by
Chorus 1:
[A]I thoug[B]ht life meant you were living
[C#]I thought [B]death meant you were dying
[A]Now I [B]sit around and I stare
[E]How dare call this a l[A]iving ro[A]om.........my living room
Verse:
[E]Gave up cari[F#]ng, you've bee[A]n seen staring out
Did you expec[C#]t the, panel[B]ing to glow
[E]You're looking for [F#]a savior, to take[A] things over now
Seems you don't wa[C#]nt to try[B]
Bridge:
[A]If you see me [C#]going by
[A]Then you've seen [B]me going by
Chorus 2:
[A]I thoug[B]ht life meant you were living
[C#]I thought [B]death meant you were dying
[A]Now I [B]sit around and I stare
[E]How dare call this a living room
[A]I thoug[B]ht time would always be there
[C#]I thought [B]my life might go somewhere
[A]Now I [B]sit around it's a big dispair
[E]How dare call this a living room
Bridge:
A C# A B (chords for the solo before vocals)
(softer)
[A]If you see me [C#]going by
A B (louder)
Then you've seen me going by
Repeat Chorus #2: (Then pick up ending)
Ending:
[A]I'm sending y[B]ou a post card
[C#]Yeah I'm sendin[B]g you a postcard
[A]I stare in[B] my living ro[E]om[A][B]
The only suggestion I have is to play along and listen to the song in order
to get the strumming patterns and to pick up certain dynamics that are
important to the song. The song is easy to learn after listening to it for
a while.
Have fun and enjoy!
