Great song by a great band! This is the first non-happy song I've
heard from them. Like with all their songs, you have to tune down
one note to play along to the CD.
VERSE 1:
--------
B F#m
I'm lookin' at my watch
Em7 A7
At all the time that's been stolen
B F#m
When I was carrying you
Em7 A7
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
CHORUS: [see tab below]
-------
E* A7
Some, may say
E* Am7
I love, to play
D* G* F#*
When the chance is there to take

[the second and third time you play the chorus tab in the song it
might have some tiny variations, but I don't wanna bother to tab
them out, it's basically the same.]
VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]
--------
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
CHORUS: [play like previous chorus]
-------
Some, may say
I love, to let
a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste

VERSE 4:
--------
B F#m
I'm lookin' at my watch
Em7 A7
At all the time that's been stolen
B F#m
When I was carrying you
Em7 A7
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
