"Loss" By John Frusciante
from "The Will To Death"

->Intro:

 A augmentedA E MajorE Cis Cis7 fis     4x

->Verse:

A augmentedA             E MajorE
 We make the music that divides you
 Cis    Cis7        fis
It's handed down as a thing to cry to

A augmentedA                E MajorE
 And all my wars they treat you kindly
 Cis      Cis7        fis
There's nothing more important that I see

A augmentedA               E MajorE
 There was a time when all was empty
Cis   Cis7     fis
 Unorganized a clog a death scene

A augmentedA                E MajorE
 Things opened up and there's so many
Cis    Cis7     fis
 Paths to walk ports of entry

->Chorus:

E MajorE      fis
Now that I'm gone
E MajorE      fis
Now that I'm long gone
   E MajorE          fis
This minute has come and gone
    b     fis       A augmentedA  E MajorE
I never said to do anything but forget me
E MajorE     fis
I can't be lost
E MajorE              fis
I've learned everything from loss
     E MajorE            fis
For what's gained there's an inner cost
b   fis    A augmentedA  E MajorE
I wont pay it I never would

->Verse:

We met the seasons back in Long Town
There was a hint of sadness going round
We met the brothers who drove arrows
And shot assumptions wide and narrow
I know I mean what I'm forgetting
We give for everything we're getting
A augmentedA lot that hasn't been put away
It's building up for that fateful someday

->Chorus:

Now that I'm gone
Now that I'm long gone
This minute has come and gone
I never said to do anything but forget me
When it seems I'm around
Check again what's up and what's down
Many silences make a sound
I'm before the equation and I'm the answer

->Bridge and solo:

(short) (short) (long) (long) (short) (short)
  A augmentedA    E MajorE   b   A augmentedA    E MajorE    D MajorD


*Note: I put the chords above the words to give an example when John strum  it in the song.
    You can hear that he changes chords when he likes to, so it's really PITA to write it
    all down. You'll get it right eventually.
    At bridge and solo section, in brackets are duration of chords
