I played this by ear since i have never seen them play this song live. you can hear this
along with all their other early creations at http://forthesilent.infinitealchemy.com/
OH YEAH ALSO! i dont know how to link the blue chords to show what they are so i appologise.
Intro: [(F C Am)x3(Am C G)x1]x2
(Your actually suposed to pluck the strings but i dont know the exact order because the
is too loud in the beginning and it drowns out the guitar.)
F C Am
And they don't see
F C Am
that my smile is thin
F C Am
And it's peeling off
Am F G
inch by inch
F C Am
And when it goes
F C Am
My whole disguise
F C Am
will slither off
Am C G
before your eyes
Verse 1: (same as intro but strum 3 times as triplets and double up on the last chord of
line.)
[(F x3 C x3 Am x6)x3 (Am x3 C x3
x3)x1]x2
F C Am
And I'll stand nude
F C Am
My eyes roll out
F C Am
Reveal my skull
Am C G
A cave of doubt
F C Am
My surgeries done
F C Am
You gave the knife
F C Am
I need you here
Am C G
to save my life
{vvvv Use a steady down stroke for this part vvvv}
Chorus: (Am x8 F x8 C x8 G x8)x2
Am F
So please stay in tonight
C G
Pull the soul from my eyes, pull the soul from my eyes
Am
And say goodnight
F
Just stay at home
C
Strip me down to the bone
G
I can't be alone
Verse 2: Same chords as first verse but play harder until you get to the part "an all
schools" strum once until the next chorus.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/say_anything/nudity_crd.html ]
F C Am
And they don't see
F C Am
The nagging stress
F C Am
That beats and beats
Am C G
inside my chest
F C Am
And kiss my heart
F C Am
To keep it safe
F C Am
Where no one else
Am C G
can make it break
F C Am
And all the schools
F C Am
they sent me to
F C Am
The upper class ants
Am C G
march two by two
F C Am
A 4 - . - 0
F C Am
for each brave boy
F C Am
Well I won't f*ck with them
Am C G
an--ymore
Chorus: Same
Verse 3: Same as all the others
F C Am
And the days go by
F C Am
I still believe
F C Am
There is someone who
Am C G
Can comfort me
F C Am
And the days go by
F C Am
I still believe
Am C G
There's a lonesome place for me
Solo: (F C F C F C Am G)x3
---Triplets again---
when u hear the variants which will be on Am and G just strum the low notes of Am and
high notes of G. Play around with it and you can make its sound the same without even
power chords.
Final Chorus: First time that you use (Am F C G) strum once then palm mute. The second
strum only twice with no palm mute. and then repeat the chorus one last time but play the
8 strums on each note.
Am F
So please stay in tonight
C G
Pull the soul from my eyes, pull the soul from my eyes
Am
And say goodnight
F
Just stay at home
C
Strip me down to the bone
G
I can't be alone
