( Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bloc_party/talons_acoustic_crd.html )
(Same chords as previously)
Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes
You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers
I tried to stay still, so it will not see
Its talons rake the side of my face
When did you become such a slut?
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it)
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I didn?t think I?d catch fire when I held my hand to the flame
And I didn?t think it would catch up as fast as I could have run
Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way
A new disease came in the post for me today
A5, F5, G5 (strum fast) x2
And [A5]when it comes it will feel like a [F5]kiss[C5][G5]
And [A5]when it comes it will feel like a [F5]kiss[C5][G5]
And [A5]when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And [F5]when it c[C5]omes
And [A5]when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes[F5] it will [C5]feel like a [Am]kiss
Enjoy!!
