Hey all, this is my favourite song on Madina Lake's album "From them, through us, to
so i thought i would give it a go at tabbing it down for others who want to play it, it
around about right, any corrections however wouldn't go amiss =P (especially for the bit
verse 2 i couldn't tab), anyways enjoy! (p.s you'll have to listen to the song and play
to be able to learn this easily, and use the lyrics with the tabs to understand bits my
titles)
Madina Lake use drop D, and drop C tunings in their songs. I tabbed this out in drop D,
could if you want re-tab it to drop C.

Lyrics:
verse 1:
She wraps her tragic moments tightly around her neck
Then she hangs herself with them as I try to disconnect
Cuz she wants to choke on her life again
Breathing it in like a deadly poison.
piano link:
She cries cause she's lost and she doesn't even know what she wants
Her eyes grow cold and she begs the world to just let her go
scream bit:
(But I won't let go)
verse 2:
She lives and breathes in a world that brought her to her knees
And now I'm addicted to her cuz that girl is just like me
And I'm gonna choke on her life again
I'm breathing it in like a deadly poison.
I just want to get through to her,
Before her last breath.
piano link:
She cries cause she's lost and she doesn't even know what she wants
Her eyes grow cold and she begs the world to just let her go
bridge:
verse 3:
She cries cause she's lost and she doesn't even know what she wants
And she hides all alone inside the pain that she wont let go
Watching her life pass her by, watching it all through her watering eyes
But I'll be chasing dragonflies from her darkest skies until the day she dies.
