Bass tabs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUR EX LOVER IS DEAD - Stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Bob Sponsler
Tuning:Standard
A change to the previous version allowing for most of the song to be
played in the same area of the neck. I've also included the Cello part
transposed for bass guitar and have fixed some inaccuracies within the fill.
There are lots of opportunities for slides (especially in the verses) that
I've left out so that you can add them (or not) to make it your own. Please
comment any changes you'd like me to make. Love this song.

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'

Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say
