Verses: played using an electro-acoustic guitar with a Wah-wha
pedal
Dm/C Bb/A C/A
You quiver like a candle on fire, I’m puttin’ you out
Maybe tonight we could be the last shout
And i’m fasci - nated by your style,
your beauty will last for a while
Additional Lyrics:
Verse 2:
You’re feeling instead of being
The more that iI live on the inside
There’s nothing to give
I’m infatuated by your moves
I’ve got to search out for your clues
Verse 3:
I want to repair your desire
And call it a gift that i stole from,
Just wanting to live
Now I see the vision through your eyes
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise
Verse 4:
Trying to outrun your fear
Your running to lose, heart on your sleeve
And your soul in our shoes
Take a left, A sharp left
And Another left, meet me on the corner
And we’ll start again
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BADLY DRAWN BOY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
