Great song by a great band! This is the first non-happy song I've
heard from them. Like with all their songs, you have to tune down
one note to play along to the CD.
VERSE 1:
--------
B F#m
I'm lookin' at my watch
Em7 A7
At all the time that's been stolen
B F#m
When I was carrying you
Em7 A7
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
CHORUS: [see tab below]
-------
E* A7
Some, may say
E* Am7
I love, to play
D* G* F#*
When the chance is there to take
CHORUS-TAB:

[the second and third time you play the chorus tab in the song it
might have some tiny variations, but I don't wanna bother to tab
them out, it's basically the same.]
VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]
--------
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
CHORUS: [play like previous chorus]
-------
Some, may say
I love, to let
a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste

[PLAY CHORUS-TAB ONCE]
VERSE 4:
--------
B F#m
I'm lookin' at my watch
Em7 A7
At all the time that's been stolen
B F#m
When I was carrying you
Em7 A7
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
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 SMASH MOUTH 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.
