Point Of Extinction by Motion City Soundtrack
Point Of Extinction
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Key: E
To play the song properly, the chords are as follows for the verses:
E: 47xxxx
A: 57xxxx
Bsus: 77xxxx
C#m: 97xxxx
And you alternate E and A strings as you play, so
e|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7---|
E|--4--4--5--5--7--7--9--9----|
E A B C#m
But play the last Bsus chord of every verse, so:
e|--------------------7-7-7-7---|
B|--------------------7-7-7-7---|
G|--------------------9-9-9-9---|
D|--------------------9-9-9-9---|
A|---7--7--7--7--7--7-7-7-7-7---|
E|--4--4--5--5--7--7--7-7-7-7---|
E A Bsus Bsus
In the chorus, it's best to play the first E open an the E-B-E as power chords, so
e|----0--0----0--0-------------------------------------------|

G|----2--2----1--1--------------9-9-9-9-----9-9-9-9----------|

[Verse 1]
E A Bsus C#m
Are you listening, javelina?
E A Bsus C#m
Every corner of the coast is still clear
E A Bsus C#m
All dressed up with some medicine for luck
E A Bsus C#m
How I hope that you're still here when I return
E A Bsus C#m
Burning bridges is a form of suicide
E A Bsus C#m
I saw the fires as the ghost of my life
E A Bsus C#m
Passed me by and there's nowhere you can hide
E A Bsus Bsus
From the lessons or the lies that bind them
[Chorus]
A E E B E
I'm so tired
A E E B E
I've had enough
A E
If there's one thing I've learned
E B E
You'll always get burned
C#m B A
But you'll never give it up
[Verse 2]
E A Bsus C#m
Can we count on our conversa-tions
E A Bsus C#m
To restore us like Energon cubes?
E A Bsus C#m
Made one wish for a permanent kiss
E A Bsus C#m
That would echo through these bones like arsenic
E A Bsus C#m
I can figure out the point of anything
E A Bsus C#m
Just not as quick as I can mess up my life
E A Bsus C#m
With all my dreams hooked to hospital machines
E A Bsus Bsus
I think 'Let's try redefining beautiful'
[Chorus]
A E E B E
I'm so tired
A E E B E
I've had enough
A E
If there's one thing I've learned
E B E
You'll always get burned
C#m B A
But you'll never give it up
[Bridge]
C#m B A
This is the best that it will get

(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, get it up, get it up)

Chorus Progression - This one's easy as hell to see from the video, so there's no
needed really. The only thing I'll tell you is that you need to slide up the fretboard
on
799 power chord to 244, strum twice real quickly and slide back down. The best example
that is, of course, in the video.

E|----5------0--------------------------------------------------|
Part at end of Chorus - After strumming the verse three times, Justin switches it up and
of doing the slide part opts to play some power chords, ending the chorus. I believe
is how it goes, sounds good to me, but there's room for improvement I'm sure.

E|--------------------------------5-5-5-5----------|
Following verses - You can do whatever sounds good to you, but at this point Justin
begin to strum the verse chords instead of pick them (with a palm mute). Like I said, it
doesn't matter, sounds good however you continue the song, as long as you keep the same
chords.

Bridge - Just pay attention to the video, it's really quite simple (or at least appears
be). Though this part isn't very accurate, I'm pretty sure it's close enough. If you
any suggestions, please post them.

Ok, this is actually the end of what you really need to know in the song. The bridge
like I said, isn't very accurate, but if you go by the video and some of my chords for it
understand it. The main thing you need to know about the end of the bridge though is
ending power chord on 577, it's not one strum. It's Justin strumming all fancy to end the
part. It was easier to put one power chord right there though.
* After you have that down though, the remainder of the song is just a replay of the
and two more times through with the chorus.
Are you listening, Javelina?
Every corner of the coast is still clear
All dressed up with some medicine for luck
How I hope that you're still here when I return
Burning bridges is a form of suicide
I saw the fires as the ghost of my life
Passed me by and there's nowhere you can hide
From the lessons or the lies that bind them
I'm so tired
I've had enough
If there's one thing I've learned
You'll always get burned
But you'll never give it up
Can we count on our conversations
to restore us like energon cubes
Made one wish for a permanent kiss
That would echo through these bones like arsenic
I can figure out the point of anything
Just not as quick as I can mess up my life
With all my dreams hooked to hospital machines
I think, "let's try redefining beautiful."
I'm so tired
I've had enough
If there's one thing I've learned
You'll always get burned
But you'll never give it up
This is the best that it will get

This is the best that it will get

If there's one thing I've learned
You'll always get burned
But you'll never give it up
