LYRICS:
I poked my eye with my finger
Lying on the bed
I'm sneezing and I'm blowing
And I can't clear my head
Is the pressure in the air
From an August storm that's rumbling
I try not to care about it now
Pressure's dumb anyway
All alone I
Know I
Give in to chances
You doubt yourself
Your mental health
Your surreal cicumstances
I try to keep it seperate
A built in third eye effacing every line
I got a built in bad feeling
That doesn't go away with time
Lined uo in a row
Shadowless figurines
Come up frome below
What they figure
I figure I don't wanna know
There are two of us
What I am what I was
To be seen
And not to be mistakenly taken serious
There are two of us
What I am what I was
At the end of the millennium
We'll soon be replaced by replicas
All lined up in a row
Shadowless figurines
Come up from below
What they figure for me
I don't wanna know
Leave the light on as you go
Leave the...
TAB NOTES:
=== : hold the note or chord into the next bar
h : hammer-on
(2) : ghost note
x : mute strings
--> The numbers on top of the staff represent the beats. Although it's not
perfect, it's best the method I know for notating rhythm in tab.
--> The rhythm indicated for the chorus chords is not exact. It's just a
suggestion. Listen to the song for more precision.
--> During the bridge ("aaahhs") after the chorus, the chords are strummed
but I didn't bother figuring out the rhythm or suggesting one, so I
only wrote out the fingerings.
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 WEEPING TILE 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.
