All My Life by Foo Fighters

All My Life
Foo Fighters
One By One
Tabbed by Bal Sandher
 
This is the 100% correct version of this song, which I haven’t seen yet. To get
the Foos sound, you need a thick, crunchy valve type overdrive sound, through a
bridge humbucker. Dave Grohl and Chris Shiflett both use Mesa Boogie Dual
Rectifier Road King 100 Watt heads for their live performances, but I doubt they
are in many people’s price range. I created the sound on my 707 pedal. Use
overdrive rather than distortion, and have mid gain with high mids and bass.

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
 
Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my breath
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed

ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve 
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)

Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing 
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

And I'm done, done and I'm under the next one (x8)

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)

Done done and under the next one
Done I'm done and I'm under the next
