Superpowerless by The Kills
Superpowerless
The tuning is standard except for the E string. I'm not sure what the tuning is (might
be drop C) but I listened to the beginning of the song when Jamie plays the first note
around 0:05 and I tuned the E string to that.

Take a drink of my red wine
I've got enough to go around,
Take a drink of mine
I've got enough to go around.
'Til you're drunk
'til you're high
'til you're fake,
'til you're crushed.
Come into my shipwreck
Half the time we just sit around,
Talkin' shit over sour milk
Waitin' for the rain to come down.
'Til you're drunk
'til you're high
'til you're fake
'til you're crushed
'til you're red
'til you're superpowerless.
Take the weight off my mind
I got enough to slow you down,
Take a cut of mine-oh-mine
I've got enough to go around.
Leave me when you're giving in
when you're last little lie is out,
I'll show you just how dark it gets
When the sun really does go down.
'Til you're drunk
'til you're high
'til you're fake
'til you're crushed
'til you're red
'til you're superpowerless.
Everythiiiing is okaaayy
If everythiiiing stays the saaaame.
'Til you're drunk
'til you're high
'til you're fake
'til you're crushed
'til you're red
'til you're superpowerless.
