Shimmer by Fuel
This song is, like most other Fuel songs, in "Drop D Tuning".
In otherwords, drop your low E to D. Listen to the tab for the
timing, and on another note, if you ever get the chance
to see these guys live, I suggest that you do so.
Quite the kickass experience. Enjoy!

C Dadd9
She calls me from the cold
Em2 Dadd9 C Dadd9 Em2/Dadd9/C
Just when I was low.... feeling sort of stable
C Dadd9 Em2/Dadd9/C
All that she intends......and all she keeps inside
Dadd9 Em2/Dadd9/C
Isn't on a label
C Dadd9/Em2 Dadd9 C Dadd9 Em2 Dadd9
She's a she's ashamed.... can she take me for a while
C Dadd9 Em2/Dadd9/C
And can I be your friend... We'll forget the past
Dadd9
Well maybe I'm not able..... And I break in the bend.
Bridge:
Em Am Cadd9 D
Well here and now.... will we ever be again
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/fuel/shimmer_tab.html ]
Am Cadd9 (Let it ring) C
Cuz I have found... all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Dadd9 Em2/Dadd9/C Dadd9 Em2/Dadd9/C
Away..... again
Verse 2 same as 1:
She dreams the champagne dreams, strawberry surprise
Pink linen on white paper, lavender and cream
Fills up butterflies, reality escapes her
And I'm somewhere betweem, I never really know
And killer from a savior, till I break in the bend
BRIDGE
CHORUS:
C Dadd9 Em2 Dadd9 C Dadd9/Em2/Dadd9/C
It's too far.... away.... for me to hold... too far away
C Dadd9 Em2 Dadd9 C Dadd9/Em2 D
It's too far... away... for me to hold... too far away.. ah-ah...
