An Attempt To Tip The Scales

Text File

This is my first tab and I did it all by ear.  It could get a little shaky at the one D
and G bridge part bc it might be A and G I just guessed.

        D               F#m
Did you expect it all to stop
        G            A
at the wave of your hand?

          D                    F#m
Like the sun is just going to drop
          G         A
if it's night you demand.


       D                    F#m
Well, in the dark we are just air
      G                 A     
so the house might dissolve.
                 D                  F#m              
But once we are gone, who is gonna care
            G          A     
if we were ever here at all?


G            
Well, summer is gonna to come
             A                 F#m
it's gonna cloud our eyes again.
                      
There is not need to focus
               G                  A
when there is nothing that it worth seeing.

       D                    F#m
So we trade liquor for blood
      G                 A     
in an attempt to tip the scales.
            D              F#m
I think you lost what you loved
         G         A   
in that mess of details.


                D              
They seemed so important at the time
            G                 
but now you can't even recall
      D
 any names, faces, or lines.
             G                D2(55777)
It is more the feeling of it all.


G               
Well, winter is going to end and
             A                       F#m         
I'm going to clean these veins again.
                          G
So close to dying that I finally can
        A
start living.

The lyrics came from that other dude so thank him not me...
