to make things easier for you i thought i would tab the intro riff so your not just
playing a b chord on its own like a lemon.
Intro/Riff:
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-----3-6-7-6---------3-6-7-6---------|
G|----4--------7-4-4-4---------7-4-----|

*m
It's not just the pain, the pain in my back
*m
That laughs in my face, my face every night
*m
Or the poison that took my lungs
*m
That keeps me from feeling warm.
But how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with words
*m
And I can't see so good.
pre verse
(stay on bm and guitarist 2 play intro riff again)
*M
And there's got to be more, much more than this.
*m
I got pages of dreams, they're covered in piss
*m
And the poison that took my soul,
*m
It keeps me from feeling anything.
And how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with words
*m
And I can't see so good.
And now I fight with the words,
And now I fight with the words,
*m
Now I fight with the words.
And how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with the words,
*m
And I can't see so good.
Keep playing intro riff throughout this except when you reach the slower end, it should fit
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good).
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good).
And I can't see so good.
(SLOWER END)
