I?ve had my frustrations about the pains of daily life
I?ve tasted degradation and found the lace and candle light
But we have the weights, we have the measures of our days and nights
I?ve had my frustrations, but now I?ve found my place

And you will make it
But only if you run
Only if you run
Only if you run

These lonely dedications I?ve found, they bring me peace and light
When three-fold applications of doubt surround my fate, you might say
We have the weights, we have to wage an assault on what it is
?Cause harmless medications abound and you?re not sick

You will make it
But only if you run
Only if you run (You will make it)
Only if you run

Dm D9 D9/F C Csus4 C x2 (Listen hear for the subtle changes in chord)

Surprise [D9/F] Surprise
Surprise [D9/F] Surprise

Bb Dm F Am x2

You will make it
But only if you run

There’s no chance survival,
and no hiding place.
you must be my rival,
I remember your face.
a sweeter denial’s become familiar to taste

there’s no chance survival
and no hiding place

you can live your whole life in a cave, man.
you can learn to love uncertainty.

And I won’t spend my whole life without some cold disregard
for the sweet sleep, eternity.

may you be praised for all your ways tonight
may you be praised by many ages tonight

there’s no chance survival
and no side to take

I’d be less than primal
with no heart to chase

when something so vile has become so commonplace,
i know there’s no chance survival.
to the flesh now we race!

you can live your whole life in a cave, man.
you can learn to love uncertainty.
and you can expect more gales of violence that have blown so far
across the good ship, “The Sure-to-Be”

we are the golden,
we are the strong, static showing the random calls
fear the ocean,
don’t fear the frost
don’t fear the motion that cosmic toss
we are the old ones,
we are the lost static showing it comes with a cost:
we can do wrong

well, your heart and your smile align me.
and i make you safe.

there’s no chance survival,
but slow time to waste.

here is the order in which the figures are played throughout the song:

GUITAR 1
11112233 x 8 [00:00 – 1:09]
4411533 x 2 [1:09 – 1:22]
1111 x 2 [1:22 – 1:30]
11112233 x 6 [1:30 – 2:21]
4411533 x 2 [2:21 – 2:33]
1111 x 2 [2:33 – 2:42]
66667777 x 10 [2:42 3:32]
6 x 1 [3:32 – 3:41]

GUITAR 2
88889999 x 10 [2:42 – 3:32]
10 x 1 [3:32 – 3:41]

the first three quarters of the song (up to 2:42) use only figures 1-5. the
intro uses only figures 1-3 so start by practicing these figures.

as you can see, the only difference between these three figures is the note
played on the a string. i use my index finger for figure 1, my pinky for
figure 2, and of course nothing for the open a on figure 3. repeat this
process eight times.

after the first couple verses, switch to figure 4 by sliding on the d string
from the 7th fret to the 9th. switch back to the chord form from figure 2
right before this part, as figure 4 uses the same form. the picking pattern
for figure 4 is slightly different than the pattern from figures 1-3. after
playing figure 4 twice, slide back down on the d string to the 7th fret and
play figure 1 once. then play figure 5, which is like a combination of
figures 3 and 2, in that order. after playing figure 5 you should be in
position for figure 2; play this figure twice, then repeat the process once
more.

at 1:22, simply play figure 1 eight times, then return to the same figures
1-3 pattern from the first part of the song, but this time only play it six
times. after that, play the same instrumental segment from 1:09 – 1:22 twice
like last time, then play figure 1 eight more times. this is the last time
you’ll play any of figures 1-5 in the song, so now we move onto the outro.

the rest of the song is an intro in which you alternate between figures 6
and 7. once again, this is yet another different couple of picking patterns,
so study the tabs and practice to get them right. just alternate between
playing figure 6 four times then figure 7 four times, and repeat the process
ten times, which is when the song ends.

at 2:42, a second guitar comes in. just like guitar 1, it’s the same tab
over and over for the rest of the song until the very end. play figure 8
four times then figure 9 four times a total of ten times, then end with
figure 8.

lyrics:
On the Esplanade, down by the sea
Baby, watch my back
I think somebody?s been following me
You feel overcome, with trying to play it dead
You feel safe that way, is it better than just playing instead?
It was a big step for me to roll up my golden life
Should have saved, saved my energy

I?m awake today
It?s so nice to see the windows wash my dreams away
And I prop myself up on my pillow
We?ve been through shaky times
But I?m glad you found your way
There was too much panic then
From here on it will be straight all the way
It was a big step for me to roll up my golden life
Should have saved, saved my energy

Changing with time, I can?t wait for the sign
Is this right?
Day chose your side, but the day brings the pride of the light
Oh the peace comes at night; I will never break from this shadow of exile
To be blinded
Changing with time, I can?t wait for the sign
Is this right?
Is this right?
