Time Bomb Lyrics

tab by Jackie Joyner
The song is very straight forward from a rhythm guitar stand point.
There's mainly 2 repeating sections until about 2:35 when it changes
slightly. There really is no defined chorus or verse in the song, only
times when Travis sings and when he doesn't so that's why I have sections
that are Verse/Chorus.
Also there are multiple guitars in this song, but I'm only
going to tab it for solo guitar.

Chords:
Verse/Chorus:
{Begin by playing the Em and accenting it with an open bottom E string
for 4 measures}
well i, i am a time bomb and i, i lay forgotten at the bottom of your heart...
Gsus2 Bm C(hold)
i'm fine, ticking away the hours to blow your world apart
Instr. Breakdown:
Verse/Chorus
i, i am a poison and i, i am still coursing through your bloodstream like
Gsus2 Bm C(hold)
a ghost, like wine, gathering vintage for the day i hurt the most
i, i am a land mine and i, i lay on the soil burned out by battles you
C Gsus2 Bm C(hold)
thought you'd won, i've got time... to wait for the footsteps.. of a memory that's on
run
Instr. Breakdown:
Chorus/Verse:
well i, i am a tar pit and i, i swell like a living thing all at the
C Gsus2 Bm C(hold)
slightest touch.. a black grime, swallowing everything.. a cold and timeless clutch
i, well i am a trip wire, and i, i'm stretching across the road you're
C Gsus2 Bm C(hold)
barreling down tonight...a thinish twine, waiting to be released right beyond
sight
Alt Verse/Chorus:
{this is pretty much the same, but since it sounds different here's
what can be played}
i, well am fault and
I a line
i, i'm apart ground lay
pulling the that be..
neath newest so fine, moving in
your seed.
inches now, I'm crawling, cutting cleaving a
I'm I'm like
knife.
Verse/Chorus:
{like the beginning, play the Em for 4 measures)
well i, i am a time bomb and i, i only live in that one moment in which you
Gsus2 Bm C(hold)
die... its not right, its not what i wanted then but you know and i know there's no
back
i, i am a lost soul and i, i send out a sickened light for anyone to see... a
Gsus2 Bm C(hold)
cry for help, yeah, a warning to stay away... the burning... the blinding...
the reaching in darkness...
