Cuts You Up by Peter Murphy
Cuts You Up
[Intro]
C Dsus2 Em (x3)
C Dsus2 (rest) Em
[Verse 1]
C Dsus2
I find you in the morning
Em
After dreams of distant signs
C Dsus2
You pour yourself over me
Em
Like the sun through the blinds
C Dsus2
You lift me up and get me out
Em
Keep me walking but never shout
C Dsus2
Hold the secret close
Em
I hear you say
[Chorus]
Em Dsus C
You know the way it throws about
It takes you in and spits you out
Em Dsus2 C
It spits you out When you desire
To conquer it to feel you're higher
Em Dsus2 C
To follow it you must be clean
With mistakes that you do mean
Em Dsus2
Move the heart switch the pace
C
Look for what seems out of place
[Pre-Verse]
C Dsus2 Em
C Dsus2 (rest) Em
[Verse 2]
C Dsus
On and on it goes
Em
Calling like a distant wind
C Dsus2
Through the zero hour we'll walk
Em
Cut the thick and break the thin
C Dsus2
No sound to break no moment clear
Em
When all the doubts are crystal clear
C Dsus2 Em
Crashing hard into the secret wind
[Chorus]
Em Dsus2 C
You know the way it twists and turns
Changing colour spinning yarns
Em Dsus2 C
You know the way it leaves you dry
It cuts you up it takes you high
Em Dsus2 C
You know the way it's painted gold
Is it honey is it gold
Em Dsus2 C
You know the way it throws about
It takes you in and spits you out
[Interlude]
Gm Bb
Ohhhhh

Gm Bb

Gm Bb
Ohhhhh
C
Cuts you up
Gm Bb
La lala lala la lala lala la

It's okay, it goes this way

The line it twists it twists away

version 2
The bass goes something like this (listen to the cd for the rhythm):
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
-3--3-3--3-5--5-5--5-7--7-7--7-7--7-7---|
----------------------------------------|
Then the same pattern is played descending for the chorus...
It sounds pretty good to play chords along with the bass like this:
I usually just use clean power chords....
C D
I find you in the morning
E
After dreams of distant signs
C D
You pour yourself over me
E
like the sun through the blinds
Then the chorus goes:
E D
You know the way It throws about
C
It takes you in and spits you out
etc..
This is how the song goes throughout. Now, I like to play that cool
strings part. This sounds right to me:
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
-0h2/4-7----9p7h9p7h9--4----0--2--0-----|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------12----10--8-|
-0h2/4-7----9p7h9p7h9----------12-------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
-0h2/4-7----9p7h9p7h9--4----0--2--0-----|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
-0h2/4-7-------4--9--7--4--2--0-| "I find you in the morning...."
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|

version 3
Tuning: Standard
After checking this against numerous live performance videos and playing
along to the studio version, I'm confident that this is correct. Play clean
or ideally on a twelve-string acoustic.
Violin Riff:
I've tabbed this in the range of the violin, although Mark Thwaite plays
it up an octave live on the guitar.
