The Obituaries
guitar tabs lyrics
Tuning: Half-Step Down
There were chords up here in the wrong key, this is how they play it on the album, and I
included tabs at the bottom, enjoy.
INTRO: (w/ lead) C Em Am x2
C Em Am
C Em G x2
VERSE:
C Em F C
We stumbled and stared at the carnival lights that lit up New York City,
F C G Am
From a rooftop in Brooklyn that was covered in bad graffiti.
C Em F C
And then I let a thousand splinters pierce right through my spoiled liver,
F C G
Or whatever that was left of it.
LEAD PART:
C Em F C F C G x2
VERSE:
C Em F C
'Cause I've cursed my lonely memory with picture-perfect imagery.
F C G Am
Maybe I'm not dying I'm just living in decaying cities,
C Em F C
But I'm still healthy, I'm still fine, I've been spending all my time
F C G
reading the obituaries.
INTERLUDE:
C G x3
CHORUS:
C
But I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
F
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
C
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
F
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
BRIDGE:
F C G Am
'Cause I am the shadow of the waxwing slain
F C G Am
I felt the false azure from windowpanes
F C G Am F
I am just freaking out, yeah I'll be fine.
CHORUS:
C
But I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
F
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
C
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
F
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
End on C
INTRO:
C Em Am
