[Am/G#] [Am/F] [F/E] [G/E]
Hey, mind reader.[F/E][G/E]
You know what I feel
Before I speak
It al[F/E]ways seems you got[G/E] one up me
Have it worse for me is that what you need
I’ve g[F/E]ot it all and yo[G/E]u’ve got nothing

Hey, Mind reader[F/E][G/E]
Bet you didn’t see this one coming
[F/E]’Cause your eyes are [G/E]never open
I’ve said sorry, you just mock me
[F/E]And I’m ready to t[G/E]hrow this up and away

I’m not able
able to say

Don’t let me get away
I haven’t been honest either
We could use each other
Don’t let me get away
It’s not getting any better
We could use each other
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/versaemerge/mind_reader_crd_ver_2.html )
(Don’t let me get away)
(Don’t let me get away)
(Don’t let me get away)

Hey, mind reader
Just as soon as I leave the room
My stomach drops, my guts I lose
I’m not the type to follow through
But you already knew that, didn’t you?

Hey, mind reader
Quick steps, reality check
I might be gone before you’re back
You bite your nails at the thought of that
Just tell me off, and let me hear you say

Are you able
able to stay

Don’t let me get away
I haven’t been honest either
We could use each other
Don’t let me get away
It’s not getting any better
We could use each other

(Don’t let me get away)
(Don’t let me get away)
(Don’t let me get away)
(Don’t let me get away)

Start spea[Am/G#]king your mind reading
You can’t keep[Am/G#] me out, believe it
Start spea[Am/G#]king say what we mean
No lies tucked in between our teeth

(Don’t let me get away)
(Don’t let me get away)
(Don’t let me get away)

Don’t let me get away
(Don’t let me get away)
Don’t let me get away

Don’t let me get away
I haven’t been honest either
We could use each other
Don’t let me get away
It’s not getting any better
We could use each other

(Don’t let me get away)
Don’t let me get away
We could use each other
(Don’t let me get away)
Don’t let me get away

Hey, mind reader

VersaEmerge – Mythology (Acoustic)
Tuning: Half Step down

Intro: B5, D5, D, D/B, D/F#, G, Bm, F#, Bm

I’ve looked right past the simple things
What have my eyes missed?
Stuck in a space where nothing seems to fit
You live a myth, obsessed with it
Quiet as the sound
I’m always asking what it means
And now I can’t stop twisting round and round

I’ve grown into this
This myth with you

Repeat intro 2x:
B5, D5, D, D/B, D/F#, G, Bm, F#, Bm

I can’t stop twisting around this storyline
Distorting my insides
I won’t forget I’m drenched in it
‘Cause I can’t stop twisting around this storyline
Tangled words were never mine
I won’t forget I’m lost in it

Slowly bending backwards
Til my days become misshaped
You deftly sway my thoughts with your fictitious ways
Nothing in me works the same
You’ve got a lot to explain
Still I’m asking
And still I can’t stop twisting

I’ve grown into this myth with you

Knots and crosses
Skews
I fold in two
With this road we take
I’ve lost all control of everything, especially me
You’ve lost everything especially me
You bite my tongue
Now I believe

Verse (intro x2)-

Their arms, they reach

They branch like they’re

Trying to catch me

They stand so tirelessly

Outgrown, the sides of roads

Are mixed in gold

The summer has me,

The summer has me sold

I see the hints

Just picture it

Craving to witness

But we blinked and missed it

Beg to the sky

Long days and all nights

Beg to the sky

Long days and all nights

Chorus (hold each cord)-

Here we are, rooted deep

Looking up

So sun sweet

Until the fall we lose it all

Here we are

Verse (intro x2, same as previous)-

Thin and bare

Stuck in a stiff stare

I wait up in the air

That makes it all fair

We stop and grow

And stop and grow

We co-exist

flourished and sun kissed

Anything you’d like

Your back road eyes

They’re getting dry

And unnatural smile

You’re lost in this place

I see it in your face

Lost in this place

I see it in your face

Chorus (same as previous, hold each cord)-

Here we are, rooted deep

Looking up

So sun sweet

Until the fall we lose it all

Here we are

This is a tab of the Acoustic version on the song, so sorry if the chords or timings are
different to the original.

Note to more advanced players: The chords in the verse and chorus take different shapes.
The (recommended) different chord shapes are laid out below. Also, I’m not sure what
the actual name for ‘Em/C’ is, I worked the chord out by ear and by watching at the
guitarist, so if anyone does know give me a shout and I’ll change it. Enjoy.

Em – C x2

This doesn’t make much sense

Think far out, but I’m still locked in

I’m still lost, walking circles

The floor swallowed me up whole

There’s nowhere to go

There’s a vulture on my shoulder

And he’s telling me to give in

Always hissing right in my ear

Like it’s coming from my own head
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/versaemerge/fixed_at_zero_acoustic_crd_ver_2.html )
It’s got me mixed up

Trying not to give up

Tell me there’s a way to get out of here

Oh, fixed at zero

Em – C x2

I’ve learned to talk with my fingers

The only voice that wakes my ears

Oh make my bones do something
Ever want to jump out your skin?

Anticipate until the sidewalk ends

There’s nowhere to go

There’s a vulture on my shoulder

And he’s telling me to give in

Always hissing right in my ear

Like it’s coming from my own head

It’s got me mixed up

Trying not to give up

Tell me there’s a way to get out of here

Oh, fixed at zero

There’s a vulture on my shoulder

Oh, fixed at zero

I’m fixed at [Em/C]zero

(The beginning of the verse and bridge don’t have any chords.)

It’s so easy when you’re fake believing
Untruly speaking, wrecking feelings
It’s so easy sparking opposite ends
Fighting the good within
Hiding my reasons

Stranger I know so well
You got me tripping over myself
Can’t trust in you
’Cause as I reach for your hand
I still sink into[Dm-C-C-Dm] quicksand
Isn’t my good side worth rescuing?
[G7sus4-F#7sus4]
It’s not easy admitting your demons
Tangled up in seasons
Finding lame reasons
I can’t fall asleep (but I surely can dream)
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/versaemerge/stranger_crd.html )
Stranger I know so well
You got me tripping over myself
Can’t trust in you
’Cause as I reach for your hand
I still sink into[Dm-C-C-Dm] quicksand
Isn’t my good side worth rescuing?
[G7sus4-F#7sus4]
I always flip myself into a shape I can’t make
Thinking so hard about who we really are
You spark the good within
But I was never good at listening
Listen until you’re gone

Stranger I know so well
You got me tripping over myself
Can’t trust in you
’Cause as I reach for your hand
I still sink into[Dm-C-C-Dm] quicksand
Isn’t my good side worth rescuing?
[G7sus4-F#7sus4]

Intro : Em A C

Take a look around
Our time’s almost running out
Give back what you get,
Uproot questions in your head

The looking-glass is clear…
What you want is near… nearly gone

Shoot out all the lights, hold your ground, we’ll hit the sky
It’s time you aim your arrows high
Take down all the doubt, cast it out, let’s do it now
It’s time we aim our arrows high

Sewn into your soul,
This is out of our control
Be who you need to be
There’s no other you or me

The looking-glass is clear…
What you want is near… nearly gone

Shoot out all the lights, hold your ground, we’ll hit the sky
It’s time you aim your arrows high
Take down all the doubt, cast it out, let’s do it now
It’s time we aim our arrows high

C “0-5-4-0-3-0” “0-7-5-0-5-0”

The angst you hold, you got to let it go, let it go!
“0-5-4-0-3-0” C
Said to myself “I’m so alone”, but I’m never alone…
I’ll walk in war to find the impossible
“0-5-4-0-3-0”
Yes, we’re hexed

Stuck in a mess

We’re all such a wreck!

Shoot out all the lights, hold your ground, we’ll hit the sky
It’s time you aim your arrows high
Take down all the doubt, cast it out, let’s do it now
It’s time we aim our arrows high

Shoot out all the lights, shoot out all the lights

Em A C “-x-x-x-4-4-3”

Aim your arrows high, aim your arrows high…

I think it’s pretty good 🙂 It’s sounds good, it’s the most important 😀
