I've liked this song for years, but I had been too lazy to tab it out. I this is pretty
close. Sounds great with some light overdrive.
Standard Tuning
Verse 1:
[F] [Bb]
Blooming black flower wine
Slashed arms and new cut smiles
Taller for the falling down
Stronger now without you around
Verse 2:
[F] [Bb]
The prophecies were realized
When we gave them proper time
All truths come to light
[Move the Bb up to the 6th fret on the fourth line to play this little arpeggio and take
advantage of the Bb note on the high e.]
[F] [Bb]
After lies have had their night
[G5] [Bb]
And it's hard without you, but it's harder not to doubt you when
B5 (palm mute) Bb5 (palm mute) A?5(palm mute) Bb5
You're so polite I'm too uptight
Chorus:
F5 E?5 D?5
You've grown more beautiful
Since you took off
What can I do
I'm in love with you
And it won't stop
[G5] [Bb]
You're the one I want You're the one I want
Verse 3:
[F] [Bb]
Cookie crumbs and alcohol.
Crooked hands the band's on hold
'cause your shoulders make me old
[Move the Bb up to the 6th fret on the fourth line again.]
[F] [Bb]
And your concerns leave me cold
[G5] [Bb]
And it's hard to leave you, but it's harder to believe you, harder to believe you
Chorus:
F5 E?5 D?5
When you smile
Crooked style
You've grown more beautiful
Since you took off
What can I do
I'm in love with you
And I can't stop
Bridge:
[Bb5] [C5] [F5] [Bb5]
What's best for everyone is bound to hurt somebody
What's best for everyone is killing me
[Do each of the arpeggios four times.]
[ x4 ] [ x4 ] [ x4 ] C5
Let me down Set me down Let me down Easy
Solo:
Verse 4:
[F] [Bb]
Blood crushed from a clock
I'm in love but we just talk
And your teeth make me weak
[This time, instead of the arpeggio, you just do some bends on one string.]
[F]
And you're keeping them from
[F] [Bb]
ME!

That's it!
