Hey guys, I did this tab and my guitar teacher at school told me that it’s
accurate, though I’m not sure ‘cause Tommy’s using other chords (I figured it out
by listening to and watching the Z100 version). Although I’m singing Cuckoo with
these chords and it sounds okay …
The last chorus is one of Adam’s easier ones, you know he seems to love playing
with his vocals …
(to make it easier to play use: Dm-F-B-Gm-C-Dm)

Intro

D#m-F#-B-G#m-C#-D#m 2x

Verse 1

It feels like I’m having a meltdown
It feels like I’m losing control
They tell me I’m a danger to myself
Now the crazy train is ready to roll

Pre-chorus

Walk that walk like you don’t give a fuck
You’ve got the right to turn it up ‘r bring it down
Electric shock, no, I can’t get enough
‘cause tonight we’re takin’ over the town – yeah

Chorus

I wanna lose my mind like a maniac
And cross the line, never lookin’ back
We’re on the loose, gettin’ crazy
B F# (once, then use your left hand to make a break)
And we’ve gone – cuckoo
Gonna party ‘til they take us away

[D#m-F#-B-G#m-C#-D#m]

Verse 2

I’m swinging off of my hinges
I’m cocked and I’m ready to go
Go on and pack up your thinges – yeah
‘cause the crazy train is ready to roll – woah yeah

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Bm G D F#

All you ever think is gimme gimme
But you never give back
All I ever do is overthink and drink
Until I attack

We know how to talk it into the ground
We know how to wear it out
If we aint gon save it, gonna end up in the grave
And baby

How do we take back
Whats been done,
Whats been said? Oh my…
How do we take back
Cause no one wins
When love breaks down, we both die

And I would give anything
Just to chase the dark away
And start all over again
How do we take back
Whats been done,
Whats been said? Oh my…

I fed you a fantasy
But you been drunk on reality
All you want is to be wanted
Long as ya get it outta me

We used to be a jungle, sticky and wild
It used to be we owned the night
All the stupid games were playing
All the sht that weve been saying

How do we take back
Whats been done,
Whats been said? Oh my…
How do we take back
Cause no one wins
When love breaks down, we both die

And I would give anything
Just to chase the dark away
And start all over again
How do we take back
Whats been done,
Whats been said? Oh my…

Remember, remember
The first time we collided?
We lost it, we lost it

How do we take back
Whats been done,
Whats been said? Oh my…
How do we take back
Cause no one wins
When love breaks down, we both die

And I would give anything
Just to chase the dark away
And start all over again
How do we take back
Whats been done,
Whats been said? Oh my…

How do we take back?

The original key is in D#m, but most of the time I play it with a CAPO ON THE 1ST FRET
using Dm, F, Bb, C, Gm (it’s easier). If you don’t want to use a capo use D#m,F#,B,C#,G#m.

Verse1
Baby, I’m on the hunt
Baby, I got my target on you
Trouble, that’s what I want
And I’m gonna do just what I have to
Get your ass down to the front
Go on and roll it out, I dare you
Sorry, I’m kinda drunk, but:
Did you just say your game was brand new

Pre-chorus
No, I ain’t broken, but I
I need a fix
That satisfaction when I,
I get my kicks
I’m up all night
I’m outta sight
Don’t turn on the light
’Cuz I’m feelin’ so shady lately

Chorus
Come on and take me underground
Deep under the street
Come on and take me, take me down
Where freaks like us can meet
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it way up
Don’t stop the beat
Come on and turn me, turn me out
’Cuz I’m feeling so shady lately

Verse2
Gonna go and get me a shot
Gonna knock it back
Forget all my blues
Yeah, that really hits the spot
I’m feeling pretty fierce in my dancing shoes

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Bridge
I throw more shade than a cloudy day
The brakes don’t work
I’m just a run away train
Somebody come and help me out
All I wanna be is free
I was tryin’ to get down
Now I can’t get out
I’m shady lately

Chorus

INTRO

VERSE I
When you’re gone
When you’re gone, it’s like I’m in one second in time, I’m frozen
When you’re gone
When you’re gone, it’s like I lost one half of my mind, stolen

PRE-CHORUS
Cause nobody feels you like I do
Nobody kills me like you do
Nothing I take can ever cut through, I’m in trouble
I look at myself and I don’t know
How I’m stuck to you like velcro
Can’t rip you off and go solo, I’m in trouble

CHORUS (x2)
I’m hooked on how you made
Me hooked, I’m gonna say it straight
I want you, I need you, I want you to take me underground
I’m hooked; I can’t cut you off
In my blood; I’m gonna say it now
I want you, I need you, I want you to take me underground

VERSE II
When you go
When you go, it’s like I put my life on the line, it’s over
When you go
When you go, I’m tripping but I’m pretending I’m fine, so dumb

(PRE-CHORUS)

(CHORUS) x2

You got me hooked on you
Now I’m in trouble, trouble, trouble

(CHORUS) x2

Capo on 4th fret

VERSE I
When the stars are too cold
Frozen over their glow
On the edge of the night
We can be their light
So give me more than your touch
And give yourself to the rush
Just keep holding my hand
As we?re taking off
I know where we?ll land

CHORUS
We can escape to a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I?ll lay you down lay you down
Safe on a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I’ll lay you down, lay you down

VERSE II
Through the dark there?s a way
There?s a love, there?s a place
Where we don?t have to hide
We can dream all night
So follow me through the sky
And watch the oceans collide
Just keep holding my hand
As we?re taking off
I know where we?ll land

(repeat CHORUS)

BRIDGE
Oh, we don?t need any diamonds or gold
Watch the mystic and cryptic unfold
As we fly hiiiii-
-igh

(repeat CHORUS)

I?ll lay you down, lay you down
I?ll lay you down, lay you down

Intro: Dm F C x2

Strip away the flesh and bone
Look beyond the lies you’ve known
Everybody wants to talk about a freak
No one wants to dig that deep
Let me take you underneath

Baby better watch your step
Never mind what’s on the left
You’re gonna see things you might not wanna see
It’s still not that easy for me underneath

A red river of screams

Underneath
Tears in my eyes

Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath, the depths of my sin

Look at me
Now do you see?

Welcome to my world of truth
I don’t wanna hide any part of me from you
I’m standing here with no apologies
Such a beautiful release
You inside of me

A red river of screams

Underneath
Tears in my eyes

Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath, the depths of my sin

Look at me
Now do you see?
Underneath, underneath, underneeeeeeaaaaaath
Underneath, Underneeeeeaaaaaaath

Welcome to my world of truth

A red river of screams

Underneath
Tears in my eyes

Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath, the depths of my sin

Look at me
Now do you see?
Underneath, underneath, underneeeeeeaaaaaath
Look at me, Do you see?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Look at me, Do you see?

Welcome to my world of truth
I don’t wanna hide any part of me from you

I wish that this night would never be over
There’s plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let’s just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we’d never close our eyes, our eyes

Never!

I don’t wanna let a minute get away
Cause we got no time to lose
None of us are promised to see tomorrow
And what we do is ours to choose

Forget about the sunrise
Fight the sleep in your eyes
I don’t wanna miss a second with you
Let’s stay this way forever
It’s only getting better if we want it to

You know that

I wish that this night would never be over
There’s plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let’s just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we’d never close our eyes, our eyes

It’s so hard to think this would fade away
But what goes up must come down
Why can’t we just live life with no consequence
And always living the now

Forget about the sunrise
Fight the sleep in your eyes
I don’t wanna miss a second with you
Let’s stay this way forever
It’s only getting better if we want it to
You know that

I wish that this night would never be over
There’s plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let’s just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we’d never close our eyes, our eyes

Never!

Instrumental part: Fm Eb Bb x4

You know that
I wish that this night would never be over
There’s plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let’s just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we’d never close our eyes, our eyes

Never!

End on Fm

Hey … okay, I did this tab, but it occurs to me that I have a little prob ;-).
If you look at the intro you can see two C-chords. The first is the “normal” one
and the other one is like B on the 3rd fret. On my guitar the both chords sound
different and that’s the reason why I’m using them. If you can’t hear a difference
on your guitar then use Am instead of C(III). And I’m not sure about the chorus-
chords, so if you know them better please correct me …

Intro

Em-C-C(III)-D

Verse 1
So they paved the world to providence
And lined up the memories
C(III) D
In reference to what is dead and gone
Then the band and the symphony
In sweet sounding harmony
C(III) D
Lay down their guns in disgust
C C(III) D
For they knew their armies had lost

Chorus
So haven’t we seen enough
On the cover of
Haven’t we had our fun
D C(III)
Watching on the TV screens
Oh yeah

Verse 2
So we harbour our hopes and fears
In houses and evergreens
C(III) D
Cast adrift what we don’t need
Then the rhythm of tambourine
And drama of marching scene
C(III) D
Lay down their violence in trust
C C(III) D
For they knew how much to cost

Chorus

For when all is said and done
And our aims run
C(III) D
Then we’ll come

INTRO
C#m E A B x2

VERSE I
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Sheets are in a knot
My heart is like a rock, hey
Pictures flashing by inside my head
I’m hanging by a thread
But I’d do it all again, yeah

PRE-CHORUS
I keep running away, running away, running away from you
But I can’t stand breaking the chains
Breaking the chains, breaking the chains

CHORUS
It’s too good
‘Cause I know the second you go
Want you to bring it on back
Bring it on back, bring it on back to me
And you know I want your chokehold
Want you to bring it on back
Bring it on back, bring it on back to me
Bring it on back to me
Bring it on back to me

VERSE II (same chords as VERSE I)
Oh, without your touch I suffocate
Cold asphyxiate
But I kind of like the pain, yeah
Baby, I can smell you on my clothes
I try to stay composed
But I feel the fever grow, grow

(PRE-CHORUS)

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah-eah-eah

Me, me, me, me-e-e, e-e-e, e-e-e

Gotta bring it on back baby, back to me!

(CHORUS)
