lyrics:
Boy you're killing me
with your funny smile
my heart is beating loud as hell
I'm diving in your eyes
My whole life is upside & down
when you're chasing down my skin
the more I run away from you
the closer you draw near
Take me to the edge of feeling
heart against my skin
show me places I have longed for
in sanctitiy and sin
Locked intense inside my head
your touch will set me free
I hold on til the sun comes up
if you'll be there for me
I wonder if you let me down
Don't you turn your back on me
take a look at where you wanna be
Don't be scared of what you see
the only thing that's killing you is me
Now you're leaving me
with your angry eyes
my love gets lost with you
I was saving you last night
locked intense inside my head
your trust will set us free
the more you run away from me
the closer I draw near
key:
^ - bend
That should not only get you through the song, but it should get you there with style!

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 GUANO APES 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.
