[F#/B9]May Days, Throwaways – some things here have [F#/B9]got to stay
[F#/B9]
A string of pearls, the strangest girl – happy with the Western world

Painless Chinese burns
Ties me down with daisy chains
Diamonds on her tongue
Pleasure cuts and teasing

M’aidez – this is no m’aidez
Open charms are lost on velvet
Maybe this is no m’aidez, m’aidez

Dead zones and half-way homes, still life lived on mobile phones
But the girl had wings and precious things, under sheets with tangled limbs

Wide awake at dawn
The sun will choose to shine on
Silence says it all
Reaching out and blessing

M’aidez – this is no m’aidez
Open charms are lost on velvet
Maybe this is no m’aidez, m’aidez

The higher we climb, the smaller we seem – mad with possibilities
No design, a zigzag girl – happy with the Western world

Painless Chinese burns
Ties me down with daisy chains
Diamonds on her tongue
Pleasure cuts and teasing

M’aidez – this is no m’aidez
Open charms are lost on velvet
Maybe this is no m’aidez, m’aidez

destroying angel
by luke blanch

i’m pretty sure this is accurate. i’ve been looking for sneaker pimps
tabs forever and finally decided just to tab this myself. you’ll need
to listen to the cd to get the feel for the changes and picking but it
should be alright. the d5 to c5 change in the verse can be replaced
by an open dsus2 and open c (just as the F# can be played as an open
F#), but it’s not really needed – whatever you think sounds better.
email me with suggestions etc.

Verse: D5 C5 E
i know you know my heads not in this now
nothing you could keep so keep me down
like the stones beneath the water that you walk on to be taller
the hands you stuck together cause you prayed you’d wait forever
just another fragile angel heart
falling down on lead wings torn apart

Chorus: Asus2 C E

the words beneath my skin
the ink that you put in
destroying all the things you left around

cause i’m earthbound coming down… come down… come down… come around

Verse: D5 C5 E

so what you have the nerve to call a friend
is starved of all the sense to make amends
i’m the glass you break to touch but you never want me much
like the view across the water from the shoes and two feet smaller
i know it doesn’t pay to be this hurt
falling off the morning getting worse
Chorus: Asus2 C E

the words beneath my skin
the ink that you put in
destroying all the things you left around

cause i’m earthbound coming down… come down… come down… come around

Repeat Verse Riff x 2

Bridge/Outro (repeat till fade)

cause i’m down……… i’m down
