TRANQUILLIZER
by Geneva
transcribed by Roger Gunnarsson (boyafraid@hotmail.com)
This is the third single from Geneva and one of the key tracks on their
marvellous album "Further".
The intro is simply same chords as in Chorus.
>>VERSE<<
[C] [D]
eye-liner up you knock me down
[Hm] [Em]
you hold your breath and I hold mine
[C] [D] [Hm] [Em]
every step another step towards halfheartedness
[Am]
let us be happy while we're still young
[C] [D]
let us be happy while we're still young
>>CHORUS<<
[G] [D] [C]
until it all seemed pointless we lifted up the mattress
[Em] [D]
from underneath the window seat
[G] [D]
is this what checkmate means she said
[Am] [F] [D]
lighting up again, yes I like the stillness
>>VERSE<<
sometimes we had endless hope
and tranquillizer eyes
feel so close it's hard to breathe
so close but we believe...
let us be happy while we're still young
let us be happy while we're still young
>>CHORUS<<
until it all seemed pointless we lifted up the mattress
from underneath the window seat
is this what checkmate means she said
lighting up again, yes I like the stillness
[G]
let us be happy while we're still young
[F]
let us be happy while we're still young
[Em]
let us be happy while we're still young
[C]
let us be happy while we're still young
[G]
let us be happy while we're still young
[F]
let us be happy while we're still young
[C] [D]
let us be happy
>>CHORUS<<
until it all seemed pointless we lifted up the mattress
from underneath the window seat
is this what checkmate means she said
lighting up again, yes I like the stalemate
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 GENEVA 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.
