The Long Winters - "Scared Straight"
Tabbed By: Carmen Filletti



D#m7               C#
Washington�s on the one
A#m
I�m in the middle of speaking
           G#
And you�re under the gun
D#m7                       C#
Seething, leave it to the lone nut
D#m7                       C#
It�s unappealing in someone so young


D#m7                     C#
Plaintiff, you�re feeling so washed up
          A#m                      G#
And you mean it when you say you�re done
             D#m7
Five lanes of freeway
        C#
But it�s all gone dark
D#m7                          C#
You called to say you�re gonna run


C#              F#
Well, Can you wait?
C#         F#
Can you stand it?
C#       F# 
Are you brave or are you 
C#  F# 
        scared straight,
C#  F# 
        scared straight?



She didn�t want you to:
D#m7           C#    
Speak right,
A#m            G#
be strong,
D#m7           C# 
act nice,
D#m7           C# 
take so long

She didn�t want you to:
D#m7           C#
Call time,
A#m            G#
seem tired,
D#m7           C#
leave mad,
D#m7           C#
get so wired


C#              F#
Well, Can you wait?
C#         F#
Can you stand it?
C#       F# 
Are you brave or are you 
C#  F# 
        scared straight,
C#  F# 
        scared straight?


C#
Maybe you belong to someone
F#
Maybe you have finally met them
C#
Maybe smoke belongs in the sky
F#
Maybe I hate it when you cry


C#              F#
Well, Can you wait?
C#         F#
Can you stand it?
C#       F# 
Are you brave or are you 
C#  F# 
        scared straight,
C#  F# 
        scared straight?


D#m7                     C#
You were hurt so you got hard
        A#m                       G#
You were cursed and scolded and scarred
       D#m7                     C#
You were searched for, then ignored
            D#m7
You want to burn the liars
                       C#
You�ll set us both on fire


D#m7                     C#
You�re faking, so I�m pretend sleeping
A#m                     G#
Waiting for this to be fun
          D#m7                   C#
It�s true little miss mean mini-bar guard
         D#m7                     C#
We�re gonna have to try something new


D#m7              C#
               Let me breathe
D#m7              C#
               Let me breathe
D#m7              C#
               Let me breathe
           D#m7            C#         A#m   G#
Let me breathe fire down on you
           D#m7            C#
Let me breathe fire down on you
