Chords

This is a simplified acoustic singer/songwriter version of the song that I figured out. (Hint: on the verse the most important thing is playing the root note of the chord rather than the rest of it, in some cases such as the E chord it is preferred to play the open E string instead of a chord.) Intro:

B          D  C
(tab for the intro can be found on the bottom)

Verse 1:

B            F# G       E 
This morning I made the call

B         F#  G   E
The one that ends it all

B        F#   G      E
Hanging up,I wanted to cry

B        F#     G        E
But dammit,this well's gone dry

A       E   F    C
Not for the money,

A       E  F     C
Not for the fame

B     F# G    E
Not for the power,

B     F# G    E
Just no more games

Chorus 1:

B       F#  G           E          F#       D D B
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado

B       F#  G                E           F#        D D B
I can't replace the lies,that let a 1000 days ago

B       F#    G              E                F#         D D B
No more living trapped inside in her way I'll surely die

B   F#   G        E       F#
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

(play the first part of the verse rhythm twice before the lyrics continue [B F# G E]) Verse 2:

B           F#  G         E
You'll grow to loathe my name

B        F#     G       E
You'll hate me just the same

B     F#   G         E
You won't need your breath

B       F#     G          E
And soon you'll meet your death

A        E   F     C
Not from the years 

A        E  F    C
Not from the use

B        F#  G   E
Not from the tears 

B         F#  G  E
Just self abuse

Chorus 2:

B       F#  G           E          F#       D D B          
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado

B       F#  G                E           F#        D D B
I can't replace the lies,that let a 1000 days ago

B       F#    G              E                F#         D D B
No more living trapped inside in her way I'll surely die

B   F#   G        E       F#
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

Post-Chorus:

B           F# G              B      F#  G   D
Who's to say,      what's for me to say

B           F# G              B      F#  G   D
Who's to say,      what's for me to be

A           E  F              A      E   F   C
Who's to say,      what's for me to do

B           F# G              B      F#  G   D  B
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me

Outro: (play intro)

B
The land of opportunity

The golden chance for me My future looks so bright Now I think I've seen the light (guitar solo)

B
Can't say what's on my mind

Can't do what I really feel In this bed I made for me Is where I sleep,I really feel (instrumental break)

B
I warn you of the fate

Proven true to late Your tongue twist perverse Come drink now of this curse And now I fill your brain I spin you round again My poison fills your head As I tuck you into bed You feel my fingertips You won't forget my lips You'll feel my cold breath It's the kiss of death (instrumental outro) [*tab for the intro]
