Well, Ben - jamin,
you crashed your plane again -
a beautiful tailspin.
It was going to happen soon enough,
the only question was when,
because I could smell the flames
sleeping on your skin.
I love you for the things you do,
and I don't care who you do them to.
You can wrap your stupid suffering around me.
'cause I thought it out, in the time I've got,
and I don't care if I drown or not:
I just want to crash into that same cold sea.
it's pretty much the same throughout the rest of the song... except:
on the G when he sings " beauiful tailspin" and "question was when" and "sleeping on
skin" (get my drift?), the g chord is played like this:
e-3-3-3-3----------.)
b-3-3-3-3----------.)
g-0-0-0-0-------------------.) then the Em chord.
d-0-0-0-0-------------------.) (regular g twice, then two times with the 2 fret on the
a-2-2-2-2 6th string-.)
e-3-3-2-2----------.)
i hope i didnt explain that part too confusing. you can always just use a regular G
well it sounds really good, have fun with this!
