Here is the complete song:
Intro: E6 Gdim6 E6 Gdim6 (a couple of times)
E6 Gdim6
Her gaze hit the side of mine so I opened it out
E6 Gdim6
To destroy what you thought was difference
E6
So I lied to you once again
Gdim6
So I painted over you once again
E6
So I die before you once again
Gdim6
What's the difference?
E6 Gdim6 E6 Gdim6
E6
Come clearly where the flavour is
Gdim6
Seen here in black and white
E6
You've got two seconds, baby boy
Gdim6
In burning light white light
E6 G E6 G
What's the difference?
Em
Clear up what you are
G
Burn out these eyes
F#
Rip up this place and scream
Em G F#
I am your slice of life
Em G F#
I am your slice of life
Em G F#
I am your slice of life
Em G F#
I am your slice of life (life)
Slight interlude: G/E G* (<-- play the G riff with an E bass note, then a G bass note)
Shivering under lamposts, shivering under glass
You're standing on charisma again
God knows it cannot last
What's the difference?
Ice inside your body
Blood inside your soul
Yet still twelve faces stand around
Hugging your skinny bones
What's the difference?
Em
So clear up what you are
G
Burn out these eyes
F# F
Rip up this place and scream
I am your slice of life
I am your slice of life
I am your slice of life
I am your slice of life
(continue with the Em G F# chord progression to the end of the song)
And the car opened him up to so much more
And the money is brighter with a wider smile
And the problem expands inside your head
I am your slice of life
I am your slice of life
I am your slice of life
I am your slice of life
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 BAUHAUS 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.
