Savage Garden – Santa Monica
Tabbed by: Reid Tissing (reid_tissing@hotmail.com)
Quite simple song really:

Verse 1:
In Santa Monica i[A/G#]n the winter time
[A/F#]The lazy streets so undemanding
[A/G#]I walk i[A/F#]nto the crowd
In Santa Monica yo[A/G#]u get your coffee from the[A/F#] coolest places on the promenade
[A/G#]Where people dre[A/F#]ss just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn it’s there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?

Chorus:
But on the telephone line I am anyon[A/G#]e
I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn’t know the difference or would you?[A/G][A/F]

2nd verse:
In Santa Monica all[A/G#] the people got modern nam[A/F#]es like Jake or Mandy
[A/G#]And modern bodies [A/F#]too
In Santa Monica on t[A/G#]he boulevard you’ll[A/F#] have to dodge those inline skaters
[A/G#]Or they’ll kno[A/F#]ck you down
I never felt so lonely, never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this

Chorus:
But on the telephone line I am anyone[A/G#]
I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn’t know the difference

Chorus 2:
On the telephone line I am any heig[A/G#]ht
I am any age I want to be
I could be a capped crusader or space invader
And you wouldn’t know the difference or would you?[A/G#][A/F#]

…or would you… (repeat chorus 1 and 2)

well don’t you know i need a little indulgence
listen to the hunter becoming hunted
every day there’s a million advances
don’t be too forceful you’ll ruin your chances
well don’t you know that time is a broken glass
that splinters against the wall
but the picture is coming back now baby
[Em7/B]and i want to take it all

Chorus:
don’t go making all these pr[G/B]omises you know you cannot keep
there’s a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
cause if your making all these pro[G/B]mises you know you cannot keep
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

so let your body move a little bit closer
silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
don’t you know that powerful thinking
is a force you don’t want to relinquish
well don’t you know that
they say that hanging on will justify the wait
but patience and elated wisdom d[Em7/B]on’t share a common phrase

(Chorus)

well i’m only hanging on for what goes down baby
i’m floating high and my feet don’t touch the ground
i’d take advantage but i can’t see through this charade
so don’t you don’t you go make it harder than hell
don’t go making promises don’t go making promises
when it comes down to the making
you better be damned sure you can take it hey baby
don’t go making promises don’t go making promises[G/B]

cause if you’re making all these promises you know you cannot keep
there’s a time to play a king and a time to be a theif
cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up

a fool a fool a lonely sorry fool
oh baby cause i told you baby

Intro – Ebmaj7 / Dm7 / Cm7 / Dm7 / Cm7 / Bbmaj7 / Cm7 / Bbmaj7

Well I’d like to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So delicate you’ll cry for more

But you know baby
You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right

Universe inside your heart
You gotta let me know
So you can be free baby
You wanted it so much
And now that it’s over
You don’t know what you want[(Bbmaj7)]

Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwined to perfection
If we could

Cm7 Bbmaj7 (etc)…
Cuddle up close lay on my chest now

Listen my heartbeats coming down

If you get tired you close your eyes now

But when you wake up I won’t be found

‘Cause I know baby

I know you’re the nervous kind

So much going on in your mind

Universe inside your heart

You gotta let me know

So you can be free baby

You wanted it so much

And now that it’s over

You don’t know what you want

But let me tell you that

This time (this time)

I’m gonna make you mine (I won’t let you go)

‘Cause I know this time (this time)

I’m gonna make sure I look out for me

Solo – Bbmaj7 / Cm7 / Bbmaj7

‘Cause you know baby

Well you know baby does it right

And you know baby does it right

You will only end up lost in loneliness

And wake up with the words already on your lips

So I’ll let you go baby

Go baby

Outro – Ebmaj7 / Dm7 / Cm7 / F7

Finish on Bbmaj7

intro: Em/D/B/Em/D/B

i never thought i?d change my opinion again
but you moved me in a way that i?ve never known
you moved me in a way that i?ve never known
but straight away you just moved into position again
you abused me in a way that i?ve never known
you abused me in a way that i?ve never known

Chorus:
so break me shake me hate me take me over
when the madness stops then you will be alone
just break me shake me hate me take me over
when the madness stops then you will be alone

solo: Em/G/B/Em/G/B

so you?re the kind who deals with the games in the mind
well you confuse me in a way that i?ve never known
you confuse me in a way that i?ve never known

(Chorus)

[Em/D/C/B/C/B/G]
she says “i can help you but what do you say”
but it?s not free baby you?ll have to pay
you just keep me contemplating that your soul is slowly fading

solo: Em/G/B/Em/Bm/D (x3)

God don?t you know i live with a ton of regret
cause i used to move you in a way that you?ve never known
but then i accused you in a way that you?ve never known
but you hurt me in a way that i?ve never known

(chorus)
break me shake me hate me take me make me
fake me break me shake me hate me take me

break me

Savage Garden
To the moon and back
from the album – Savage Garden
From: Thomas Tjerngren, Sweden

Intro: piano, bass, guitar (Cm, Bb, Gm, G#)x2

She’s taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyones got a theory about the bitter one

They’re saying, “Mamma never loved her much” And, “Daddy never keeps in
touch” “Thats why she shies away from human affection”
But somewhere in a private place she packs her bag for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
(hold out on G#)
And she’ll say to him Shes saying

ref.
I would fly you to the moon and back if you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby
I’ve got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

She can’t remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour blind
All her friends they’ve been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined

She’s saying, “Love is like a barren place, and reaching out for human faith is,Is like a journey I just don’t have a map for”
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that shes hanging all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasent dream Just saying

I would fly you to the moon and back if you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby
I’ve got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

solo,

Mamma never loved her much and Daddy never keeps in touch
Thats why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place she packs her bag for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she’ll say to him Just saying

I would fly you to the moon and back if you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby
I’ve got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

I would fly you to the moon and back if you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby
I’ve got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby … yeah

Hello.. I checked the other tabs here on this song.. actually they sucked, so I tabbed it my self..

Intro D-G-A x2
Bm-G-A x2

Verse
And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass
and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming
now it’s time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write

Chorus
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

[D-G-A]

Verse
And there are children to think of
Baby’s asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they’ll ever make it
through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing Thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and
another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she’ll have to go home

Chorus
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

D-G-A x2

intro: Dm9/C9sus4/Bbsus#4/Gm/A (x2)

the moonlight shines down interstellar beams
and the groove tonight
is something more than you’ve ever seen
the stars and planets taking shape
a stolen kiss has come too late

Chorus:
in the moonlight
carry on keep romancing carry on carry on dancing
in the moonlight
carry on keep romancing carry on carry on dancing

you’re never safe till you see the dawn
and if the clock strikes past midnight
the hope is gone to move under

(Chorus)

[Dm/C/Bb/A] move closer passion stronger

solo: Dm9/Bbsus#4/C (x6)

there’s a magic only two can tell
in the dark night
ultra violet is a wicked spell
the stars and planets taking shape
a stolen kiss has come too late

(chorus)

solo: Dm9/C9sus4/Bbsus#4/Gm/A/Dm

intro: Gm Gm Gm Gm/E

if there’s a way that you could be everything you want to be
would you complain that it c[Gm/E]ame too easy
just like the games with you and me a resolution hard to see
but that’s o.k. cause i don’t s[Gm/E]ee things that are plain to see
i’ve got a dream to take you over
exploding like a supernova
i’m gonna crash into your world and that’s no lie

solo: Gm Gm Gm Gm/E

you want to give ecstasy delivered with certainty
but you’re afraid that the pl[Gm/E]easure won’t be needed
in a way we’re the same two people looking out to sea
for a wave that would c[Gm/E]arry all our fantasies
if there’s a way to infiltrate you
sway your mind and complicate you
i’m gonna crash into your world and that’s no lie

Chorus:
let your body move into the doorway
to the disco inside your head (violet)
wear a color that you want to cling to
the color inside your head (violet)

solo: Gm Gm Gm Em/E

contemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
a million things take a d[Gm/E]amned good shot at you and me
if there’s a way to infiltrate you
sway your mind and complicate you
i’m gonna crash into your world and that’s no lie

(Chorus)

to the disco to the disco

i’m gonna take you i’ll do my best to break you
i’m gonna take you higher and that’s no lie

solo: Gm Gm Gm Gm/E

common sense is a game many people don’t like to play
but give it in and the m[Gm/E]oment takes you either way
i’ve got a dream to take you over
exploding like a supernova
i’m gonna crash into your world and that’s no lie

(Chorus)

if there’s a way that you could be everything you want to be
would you complain that it c[Gm/E]ame too easy
in a way we’re the same two people looking out to sea
for a wave that would carry all our fantasies
