Tilt Acoustic chords by Wild Sweet Orange

Chords with lyrics

Song: Tilt (Acoustic)
Band: Wild Sweet Orange
Album: The Whale (EP)
Tabbed by: Tessa Kelly

Notes: The whole song is kind of strum/picked (except for the very last chorus, which is
just strummed). If you listen to it, it's not super hard to figure out. For the most
part only the top 4 strings are used, with a few exceptions (such as when Em* is
played). The chords remain the same throughout the entire song, but I included them all
anyway. This is a very basic tab, and there are lots of little details (hammer-ons,
etc.) that you can figure out yourself. If you have any corrections or suggestions, feel
free to let me know! I really do appreciate feedback.

C/GC/G
You're shaking bad in your sheets,
Em*
Convulsing like you didn't eat.
F*
You don't know what's more scary,
C/GC/G
Your door open or closed.
C/GC/G
"Do I look like a dead body?"
Em*
Your jumping jaw asked me
F*
With the funniest smile I've ever seen.
C/GC/G
Your soul was coming out your eyes.


C/GC/G
Piles of clothes and photographs
Em*
Fill the floor where I collapse.
F*
The walls grow blue and
C/GC/G
I'm trying to lift my head.
C/GC/G
Now I'm dying in this living room.
Em*
My stomach turns to sand.
F*
Yeah, why do I fight the good times
C/GC/G
Like I'm sure that I'll be damned?

   C/GC/G      Em*
And I fear what I've done
      F*     C/GC/G
Means I've lost what I love.
   C/GC/G      Em*
And I fear what I've done
      F*     C/GC/G
Means I've lost what I love.


C/GC/G
Hardwood floors carry sounds
Em*
That carry slow to my ears.
F*
It's the words I can't recognize,
C/GC/G
But I'm trying hard to hear.
C/GC/G
'Cause my eyes can't find the things
Em*
That they're looking for down here.
F*
And brown leaves are covering,
C/GC/G
Another wasted day this year.


C/GC/G
The lights strung out across the yard
Em*
Remind me of a time, oh,
F*
When I tried to be a light, you know,
C/GC/G
God, I tried to shine.
C/GC/G
But the cross seems so high tonight,
Em*
And glory I can't find.
F*
Oh, could you tilt it while you're leaning down,
C/GC/G
Or will you pull me back inside?


   C/GC/G      Em*
And I fear what I've done
      F*     C/GC/G
Means I've lost what I love.
   C/GC/G      Em*
And I fear what I've done
      F*     C/GC/G
Means I've lost what I love.


C/GC/G     Em*
So carry me home
    F*        C/GC/G
To the door beneath the sand.
C/GC/G     Em*
So carry me home
    F*       C/GC/G
To the sounds of angel bands.


   C/GC/G      Em*
And I fear what I've done
      F*     C/GC/G
Means I've lost what I love.
   C/GC/G      Em*
And I fear what I've done
      F*       C/GC/G
