tuning- 1/2 step down (eb ab db gb Bb eb)
This is one of the best songs on the album. It sounds right and i think
it's damn near perfect. Here goes. Listen to song for timing.
VERSE 1 - Guitar One/two: clean and very quiet all downstrokes
Riff 1
"I burn and melt and stick and fade
Your temporary arms invade
One of many last warnings
cannot wipe the conscience clean
Riff 2- mild distortion/both guitars/all downstrokes
a---2-2-2-3p-2-3p-2-3 X4
"The stain wears in
the stain wears in
you whore me in again"
Then Riff One again for 8 times.
Then Riff Two again for 4 times.
Then play riff one for 8 times. On sixth time slowly bring mild
distortion in and palm mute until eighth time.
CHORUS ONE- G1 and G2 play with heavy distortion
"Collapsing in again you found, what makes it sore
You triggered off the feelings that, you felt before.
Riff One play 8 times but on every 1st beat G2 plays this
with mild distortion.
Riff Two play 2 times
Riff One play 8 times and gradually distort again to chorus.
Same as chorus one and play twice
BRIDGE 1 - G1 with distortion
"All the guilt pulls away
if only forever x2
Guitar two plays this little riff over bridge with distortion.
b--5~~~~~~~-- bend the 5 every so often.
BRIDGE 2- Guitar one with distortion.
"replace the name
irreplace the fear
and i can't come out
but i want you hear."
Second part of bridge play same thing three times but slowly palm
mute and slowly pull it off.
VERSE 3- G1 really quiet and clean
Same as verse one but no back riff like verse 2. Play 16 times.
BREAKDOWN RIFF- G1 and G2 with heavy distortion.
Play each note 16 times
g--4----9--------- play 4 times.
"Now i need it, now i need it"
CHORUS and ENDING- G1 and G2 with heavy distortion.
play same chorus as chorus one but G2 plays this little riff with
a flanger.
