I tabbed this out the way my band plays it live. It's not exactly how MCS plays it, but
pretty close and it sounds perfect if you're singing along.

Bm, A, G x4
[Bm]I got the[A] message long be[G]fore you said you knew
[Bm]There was no[A] chance of us at[G] all
With no [Bm]velocity and e[A]mpty headed
[G]Hard and far too long
[Bm]I spent two[A] years alone wit[G]h you
[Bm]Just when I[A] thought I had f[G]orgotten
[Bm]You came back[A] soft without [G]a sound
[F#m]You said we w[G]ere an accid[D]en[F#m]t[C#]
[F#m]With accid[G]ents you'll never [D]know
What[Em] could[F#m] have been
[F#m]So we we[G]re an a[D]cc[F#m]iden[C#]t
[F#m]You'll always be[G] my favorite o[D]ne
Bm, A, G x2
[Bm]You hit the[A] road and left me an [G]ocean
[Bm]I cant swim in the [A]silence of your [G]skin
[G]skin please let me [Bm]in
Side the [A]times we never [G]had right
[Bm]Inside two[A] years alone with [G]you
[F#m]You said we w[G]ere an acci[D]de[F#m]nt[C#]
[F#m]With accid[G]ents you'll never [D]know
Wha[Em]t could[F#m] have been
[F#m]So we we[G]re an ac[D]ci[F#m]dent[C#]
[F#m]You'll always b[G]e my favorite [D]one
[F#m]We c[G]ould have [D]been
We [F#m]could h[D]ave been
Ins[F#m]tead of ac[G]cid[D]ental
[D]Running[Em] always running
Why can't you believe?
[Bm]Long winded[A] promises of [G]future company
[Bm]Up close the[A] sound remains the [G]same
Without the [Bm]reign of terror [A]over every[G] momentary exchange
[Bm]We are [A]exactly as [G]before
[Bm]You hit the[A] road and left me an [G]ocean
[Bm]I cant swim in the [A]silence of your[G] skin
[G]skin please let me [Bm]in
Side the [A]times we never [G]had right
[Bm]Inside no[A] chance of us at [G]al[D]l
That's really all there is to this song. If you can get the vocals and the rhythm right
be golden like a shower. Questions or comments? justin.davin@usmc.mil
