I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open...and let the air out
Three bugs, a pound of dust
Some wind spilled over me
In the strangest manner that had
Broke away my tear spout
As I lie there
With my tongue spread wide open
A black widow had offered me
A sweatheart tube
As I injected
The candid heart that I selected
She said don't hesitate
Just do what you have to do!
It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just cuz I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red CUZ I CAN'T FEEL!
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time...
It's time
It is time

version 2
Tuning: Drop F# with C# tuning (F#-F#-B-E-G#-C#)
The tuning is weird. Let me explain. You tune to Drop B
Then tune the low E string down to a low F# so it is
A whole octave lower than the A string.
Intro Gtr. 1 (trust me it’s right, listen very close) use wah pedal

Then Do: Riff 1
O.K. Now we are at the feedback part. Guitar 1 just does some feedback
in the background, but Guitar 2 has some very distinct riffs that are
not in the other Scissors tabs.

Intro
E |-77777-|
B |-xxxxx-| - tremelo pick this with a weak flanger effect.
F#|-55555-|
Then comes in a second guitar
E |-7777777777777777-|
B |-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-| - here, increase the flanger effect when the 6's are played
F#|-55555555/6666666-|
Before the heavy part ("Broke away my tear spout...")
B |-7-7-7-7-|
F#|---------|
The heavy part ("As i lie there whith my tongue spread wide open...")

The Chorus Riff ("Its hard to stay between the lines of skin...")

B |-021-021-00-5-05-01-|
pm --- --- -- - -
This riff comes in before "binding my time..."
B |-0000-01-|
F#|-0000-01-| - followed by percussion sounds
B |-0000-01-|
pm ---- --
"Binding my time until the time is right"
B |-00-00-11-11-11-|
F#|-00-00-11-11-11-|
B |-00-00-11-11-11-|
The riff when he starts screaming after "Binding my time..."
B |-1--0-|
F#|-1--0-| - let the chords ring
B |-1--0-|
Then there is that noisefest part with feedback. Most notes resemble the intro
so play around with that. Im sure its a random thing when the band plays it live
(if they do...). It kinda reminds me of Kurt Cobain and his feedback-led solos.
Towards the end ("I want my time.. Id rather die..."
B |-7-|
F#|-7-| - this chord is played with flanger
B |-7-|
"Need Time!" (when Corey goes all psyco!)
B |-00-00-|
F#|-00-00-| - Just that chord
B |-00-00-|
