lyrics:
just close your eyes and speak
say what we both know is inside you
if you want i'll keep so much buried deep
wake up its gone. what made you fall away?
what came undone? what made you fall away?
we were so true
we were pure
you saw how my heart was full of hurt
i held you to stop breaking down around me
i tried, but i was weak.
just close your eyes and speak
wake up its gone. what made you fall away?
what came undone? what made you fall away?
feelings i keep. buried so deep. you fell from me
you breathed so deep. you loved so deep
i built all these walls to keep you
to keep you to keep you
to keep you close
welp, those are all the riffs needed to pull this song off. there are numerous lead overdubs (mostly octaves) which i just frankly don't feel like messing with!

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 VEX RED 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.
