Black, like a forest

[This riff in between lines 1 & 2]

A|--4--3-----
E|--------4--

And still, like a lion
My knees are bended
We used to speak
A different language

(There are a couple of riffs in the verse, really variations on the G# chord shape, as
(follows, if you’re feeling adventurous:

( e|--4---6---4---4---4---| )
( b|--4---4---6---4---4---| )
( G|--5---5---5---5---5---| )
( D|--6--(4)-(4)--4---6---| )

[(] [)]
[(G#](My [G#7/9]Knees [G#7/6]Are Ben-ded [)])

[verse 2 as verse 1]
I wasted my breath
On words soon forgotten
Left unattended
They’re moving their feet,
But nobody’s dancing

(G# is now just G# plain and simple)
Ah, take your time
Ah, take your time
EADGBe
(C# is a barred C in fret one, i.e. x43121

How can I blame you
For all of the screaming
That I’ve had to turn to?
Just in time
To go off in my hands

That’s about it, good luck making sense of it 😉

C G x4

[Verse 1]

When I go deaf
I won’t even mind
I’ll be all right
I’ll be just fine

[Verse 2]

I’ll stay out all night
Looking at the sky
I’ll still have my sight
Yeah, I’ll still have my eyes

[Verse 3]

And, we will make love
We won’t have to fight
We won’t have to speak
And we won’t have to lie

[Verse 4]

And, I’ll stop writing songs
Stop scratching out lines
I won’t have to think
And it won’t have to rhyme

When I go deaf
When I go deaf
When I go deaf
When I go deaf

When I go deaf
When I go deaf
When I go deaf
When I go deaf

well you could always count on your friends to get you high
that’s right
and you could always count on the ‘rents to get you by
you could fly
and now they make you ps into a plastic cup
and give it up
the cup will probably be here long after we’re gone
what’s wrong
they’ll probably dig it up a thousand years from now
and how
they’ll probably wonder what the hell we used it for
and more
this must be the cup the king held every night
as he cried

Break A G

well maybe you should go out and write your own damn song
and move on

What part of me don’t you know? What part of me don’t you own?
What part of me don’t you know? What part of me don’t you own?

[/] [/] [/] [/] [/]
Can’t you see that I’m bleed-ing out here? Waking up from a dream-ing I’m here
It’s getting hard to believ-ing out here It’s a 100 degrees-ing out here.

What part of me don’t you know? What part of me don’t you own?
What part of me don’t you know? What part of me don’t you own?

[/] [/] [/] ah[/]-ah [/] ah[/]-ah [/] ah[/]-ah[/]

Sometimes it scares to death, Sometimes it takes all my breath
Talking, talking and pleading all night, It must be somewhere to reach the other side

What part of me don’t you know? What part of me don’t you own?
What part of me don’t you know? What part of me don’t you own?

[/] [/] [/] [/] Don’t you knowwww

Ooh I will find you there
Put out the bad from my head
Into the river it fled
Everything was with in reason
Falling away like the dust

Thinking and dim like an echo
Far away empty alive
Reaching expanding collapsing
Breathing repeating and bright

Ooh I will find you there
Put out the bad from my head
Into the river it fled
Everything was with in reason
Falling away like the dust

Ooh I will find you there
Put out the bad from my head
Into the river it fled
Everything was with in reason
Falling away like the dust

To begin with, there’s the two of us
Never minding the world
With the armor of a few of us
Losing everything to hope

All you innocents
Make a run for it
All you innocents
Might be down for it

Break instrumental
Gm F Dm C x 2

All you innocents
Make a run for it
All the innocents
Might be down for it

All you innocents
Better run for it
All the innocents
Might be down for it

Gm F Dm C x 2

Fm 333000
Gm 555000
Am 777000
mostly play 3 low strings

I couldn’t wait to come back through
To you

I thought I had so much to prove
All the truth

I couldn’t stand and leave you to
Confuse the last truth

That’s cruel

Whining away the hours and days
Unmade

Anticipating plans and ways
To change

So many things that I can’t take
Away today
It’s too late

Into the night and out again
My friend is away
With no end
With no end
No end
