Intro:
Dmaj7; A*; E*; E; E*; E (2x)
Verse 1: (chords clear)
Dmaj7 A* E* E E* E (repeat 6x)
I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back
I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go
But when you're close, you look through me just like a ghost
I like sleeping, I'm only safe when I'm dreaming
I need a new heart, this one's hollow, always scheming
A5 E5
You wait for the summer
F#5 A
And then you wait for the winter
E
But there's a total lack of splendor
Chorus #1: (chords distorted)
D A Amaj7 f#
Zen Brain, throw away your crushes
E D A
All your childhood crutches away
D A Amaj7 f#
Super brain, never scared of nothing
E D A
violence or loving my way
Interlude: [by the way, I don't know if this expression is right.
I'm German, you know... ;-)]
Play the same chords as during the verse, but distorted, 2x.
Verse 2: (clear)
Dmaj7 A* E* E (repeat, guess, 3x)
I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back
I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go
Chorus #2: (distortion)
D A
Zen brain...
.
.

E D A B
All your childhood crutches away, today
Repeat chorus #2
END
P. S. : I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
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 NADA SURF 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.
