VERSE 1-
Shakin' up is all that we know
Usin' our bodies up as we go
I'm wakin' up to a fantasy
The shades all around aren't the colors we used to see
Cadd9 G/B Am9(open)
Broken ice still melts in the sun
And ties that are broken can't often be one again
Cadd9 G/B Am9(open)
We're soul alone, and soul really matters to me
Take a look around
You're out of touch
in(add11)/
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
in(add11)/
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
ind11)/
Reachin' out for something to hold
Lookin' for a love where the climate is cold
Manic moves, and drowsy dreams
Or (We're) livin' in the middle between the two extremes
Cadd9 G/B Am9(open)
Smokin' guns, hot to the touch
Would cool down if we didn't use 'em so much
Cadd9 G/B Am9(open)
We're soul alone, and soul really matters to me
Too much
You're out of touch
in(add11)/
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
in(add11)/
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
Ooh
in(add1)/
Oh-woh-oh
Oh-woh-oh (ooooooooooooo. . .)
Ooh
in(add11)/
Oh-woh-oh (ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that's right . . .)
BRIDGE - Key change here - play the following chord progression as Daryl freestyles and T-Bone shows off...
CHORUS 3 - The band sings the third chorus a cappela, clapping out the beat - there's a
short break right before "FINAL CHORUS" (after the band sings their last "you're out of
touch" in "CHORUS 3"), where they strum out . . .
E E E E . . . about 12 times
and then . . .
FINAL CHORUS
You're out of touch
in(add11)/
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
in(add11)/
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around . . .
Repeat this progression over and over again as Daryl freestyles, and when the song
finally comes to and end, bang out an "Amin" as the closing chord.
transitions, the ending, etc.), just listen to the song - it should be pretty self-explanatory.
Also, feel free to replace "Amin(add11)/D" with a basic "Dm" if it sounds better.
This tab should also work fairly well with the studio recording.
