5. It's Beginning to Get to Me
Its Beginning To Get To Me Chords by Snow Patrol, www.Ultimate-Guitar.Com
Tabbed by Ben McConnell
Standard Tuning
I tabbed this for Acoustic Guitar. I may be off on a few chords. It's hard to tell what
band was doing, since this song they use a lot of bass.
Chords Used: E A D
E
I want something
E
That's purer than the water
E
Like we were
E A
It's not there now
A E
Ineloquence and anger
E
Are all we have
E A
Like Saturn's rings
A E
An icy loop around me
E
Too hard to hold
E A
Lash out first
A E
At all the things we don't like
E
Or understand
E
And it's beginning to get to me
E A
That I know more of the stars and sea
A
Than I do of what's in your head
E
Barely touching in our cold bed
E
Are you beginning to get my point
E
They're always fighting with aching joints
E A
It's doing nothing but tire us out
A E
No one knows what this fight's about
E
The answer phone
A E
The lonely sound of your voice
E
Frozen in time
E
I only need
A E
The compass that you gave me
E
To guide me on
E
And it's beginning to get to me
D
That I know more of the stars and sea
A
Than I do of what's in your head
E
Barely touching in our cold bed
D
Are you beginning to get my point
A
They're always fighting with aching joints
A
It's doing nothing but tire us out
E
No one knows what this fight's about
D
It's so thrilling but also wrong
A
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
A
Cos I can carry you on my back
E
After our enemies attack
D
I tried to tell you before I left
A
But I was screaming under my breath
E
You are the only thing that makes sense
E
Just ignore all this present tense
Strum E chord loudly
E
We need to feel breathless with love
E
And not collapse under its weight
E
I'm gasping for the air to fill
E
My lungs with everything I've lost
E
We need to feel breathless with love
E
And not collapse under its weight
E
I'm gasping for the air to fill
E
My lungs with everything I've lost
END ON E
6. You Could Be Happy
Capo 3
D 1 bar A 1 bar G 2bars x4
D A G
You could be happy and I won't know
D A G
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
D A G
And all the things that I wish I had not said
D A G
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head
Em D G
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
Em D G
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
Em D G
Most of what I remember makes me sure
D A G
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
D A G
You could be happy, I hope you are
D A G
You made me happier than I'd been by far
D A G
Somehow everything I own smells of you
D A G
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Em D G
Do the things that you always wanted to
Em D G
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
Em D G
More than anything I want to see you go
D A G
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
7. Make This Go On Forever
Capo 4
Verse 1
A C
Please don't let this turn into something it's not
G F
I can only give you everything I've got
A C
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
G F
but I still love you more than anyone else could
A C
All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
G F
Is 'it could take my whole damn life to make this right'
A C
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
G F
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong
Chorus
Am C F
G
The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
Am C F G
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
Am C F
The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I had
G
ever learned
Am C F G
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
Verse 2
A C
We have got through so much worse than this before
G F
What's so different this time that you can't ignore?
A C
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
G F
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes
Chorus
x2
Piano Solo
A
Outro
A
And I don't know where to look
A
My words just break and melt
A
Please just save me from this darkness
A
Please just save me from this darkness
8. Set Fire to the Third Bar
Bm A G x2
Bm A G
I find the map and draw a straight line
Bm A G
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
Bm A G
The distance from me to where you'd be
Bm A G
It's only finger-lengths that I see
Bm A G
I touch the place where I'd find your face
Bm A G
My fingers in creases of distant dark places
Bm A G
I hang my coat up in the first bar
Bm A G
There is no peace that I've felt so far
Bm A G
The laughter penetrates my silence
Bm A G
As drunken men find flaws in science
Bm A G
Their words mostly noises
Bm A G
Ghosts with just voices
Bm A G
Your words in my memory
Bm A G
Are like music to me
Bm D
I'm miles from where you are,
A G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm D
I pray that something picks me up
A Cadd9
And sets me down in your warm arms
Bm A G
After I have travelled so far
Bm A G
We'd set the fire to the third bar
Bm A G
We'd share each other like an island
Bm A G
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
Bm A G
And dreaming pink wildfire
Bm A G
The last place we left off
Bm A G
Your soft skin is weeping
Bm A G
A joy you can't keep it
Bm D
I'm miles from where you are,
A G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm D
And I pray that something picks me up
A Cadd9
and sets me down in your warm arms
Bm D
I'm miles from where you are,
A G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm D
I pray that something picks me up
A Cadd9
and sets me down in your warm arms
9. Headlights on Dark Roads
INTRO: C8 F8 G8 F8
VERSE:
(bass line)
For once I want to be the car crash
Not always just the traffic jam
A8 B8 G8 ---------------------\
Hit me hard enough to wake me \__ Palm Mute optional
A8 B8 G8 /
And lead me wild to your dark roads------------/
PRE-CHORUS: G5 F5 G5 F5 G5 F5 G5 F5 (listen the song for the strumming pattern)

e ------------------------------------------------------------------|
B ------------------------------------------------------------------|
G ---------7-7-7-7-7--7--7------------------------------------------|
C5 A5 F5 E5 G5
Headlights... before me
E5 A5 F5
So beautiful, so clear
C5 A5 F5 E5 G5
Reach out... and take it
E5 A5 F5
Cos I'm so ti-red of all this f-ear
(bass line)
My tongue is lost, oh, I can't tell you
Please just see it in my eyes
A8 B8 G8
I pull up thorns from our ripped bodies
A8 B8 G8
And let the blood fall in my mouth
PRE-CHORUS(same as before)
CHORUS (X2)
OUTRO: same as bridge
10. Open Your Eyes
G C
All this feels strange and untrue
Em C
And I won't waste a minute without you
G C
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
Em C
And I'm getting so tired and so old
G C
The anger swells in my guts
Em C
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
G C
I want so much to open your eyes
Em C
Cos I need you to look into mine
G C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Em C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes[x4]
G C
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
Em C
Cos they don't get your soul or your fire
G C
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
Em C
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time
G C
Every minute from this minute now
Em C
We can do what we like anywhere
G C
I want so much to open your eyes
Em C
Cos I need you to look into mine
G C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Em C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes [x8]
G C
All this feels strange and untrue
Em C
And I won't waste a minute without you
11. Finish Line
Intro/Verse: C, Am, G, F
Chorus: G, Am, F
C Am G F
The earth is warm next to my ear
C Am G F
Insects noise is all that I hear
C Am G F
A magic trick makes the world disappear
C Am G F
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear
G Am F
A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
G Am F
The snow and tickertape blurs all my senses numb
G Am F
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
G Am F
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch
C Am G F
Cold water, cleaning my wounds
C Am G F
A side parade, with a single balloon
C Am G F
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
C Am G F
Blue as seas, running to them
G Am F
I feel like I am watching everything from space
G Am F
And in a minute I hear my name and I wake
G Am F
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
G Am F
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want
