Okay, every other tab on this is completely wrong. The song is in Drop C majorC and i know for
that this is right, and i'm not just saying that as it sounds exactly the same.
Tuning: CGCFAD
Intro is simply this played through out the intro, with the bangs, the choir and right
to the beginning.
Very simple.
palm muted.

Lyrics
------
Come on baby do you
think it's good to feel
like I'm lying here
swimming in memories.
I fear God because everything dies babe
got a gun in the back of my Car
This spasm of good sense
is making my eyes twitch
I've had enough on your consulations
I'm drowning caught in a shit tide
take my face to the inside of love
nothing to eat but fears in the back seat
well I met God he had nothing to say to me
I pray to god
that you're right before my eyes,
bathed in white light,
with halos in your eyes.
Don't wanna waste no more time
time's what we don't have
Everywhere I look someone dies
wonder when it's my turn
Hello do you know me
leave an open door
what you're looking for
baby when you come down, come down
I built a time machine to escape from
all the pain in the back on my car
Living's a problem
'cause everything dies babe,
save yourself we're not too far away
I pray to god
that you're right before my eyes
bathed in white light
with halos in your eyes.
Don't wanna waste no more time
time's what we don't have
Everywhere I look someone dies
wonder when it's my turn
I pray to god
that you're right before my eyes
bathed in white light
with halos in your eyes
Don't wanna waste no more time,
time's what we don't have.
Everywhere I look someone dies,
wonder when it's my turn.
