Headlights ~ TV
http://www.headlightsmusic.com
I *adore* this song. I know this isn't 100% accurate (I'm crap at working out riffs) but
a decent start, hopefully someone else can do a better job. I really hope Headlights
it big, they're excellent.
Chords:
F# [244322]
Bbm[688666] or [x13321]
Ebm[x68876]
B [X24442] or [799877]
Those are the actual chords, though I think when they're actually played (only in the
it's just the lowest 3/4 strings. Doesn't really matter. After the intro, the chords are
by the piano instead of the guitar. I've done my best with the lyrics, they're far from clear.
The riff obviously doesn't have to be played all on the low E string but I think it
better if you have the slide, which you don't get if you play the F note on the A string.
I have a slight suspicion the chords change in the chorus/break bit, but I'm not sure
the ones from the verse fit fine.
Riff (repeated in chorus'):

Verse:
F#
You couldn't wake by the morning we'll try,
Bbm
To feel so good but your day blew up,
Ebm
And it feels so right to stop you from crying,
B
In the hurt of night I'll stop you from crying,
F#
I couldn't take up more space in my mind,
Bbm
If there's a backdoor it isn't easy to find,
Ebm
'Cause I've often called, I'm so self-indulgent,
B
We need our war, to clean up is selfish,
Break: Riff x2 (F# Abm Ebm B x2, quicker rhythm)
F#
So can you tell me that you feel the same,
Bbm
And you stare at all the faces full of so much shame,
Ebm
And there's a view to the heart that's torn us apart,
B
And you can live your life, you keep up your lying,
Chorus: (Riff x2, chord rhythm same as in the break)
F# Bbm
I can't stand to watch the TV,
Ebm B
The liars and the girls keep staring at me
F# Bbm
And the boys and the girls and they tell you they're free,
Ebm B
Grow up to destroy everything they see,
F#x4
F# Abm Ebm B x2
Chorus (without riff)
Chorus
Outro: Same as the break, end on F#
