Waiting rooms can't hide me
From the sting, paper sheets
Blood work and the IV
The whirring machines
While the nurses reassure me

Pulse is slow
Faint metronome on my left side
Beneath my protruding spine

And a line of rifles aimed at my sick mind
'Cause I'm so good at hurting myself

[ Verse II ]
99% sure Julien is leaning on a looper for the ending
[and the rest of the song for that matter] so
it's hard to tell where one layer ends and another begins. If you have a
looper, you're going to want
the main riff at the first and eighth positions, the riff below, and some
simple strumming going at the same
time. This should give you the full sound, and make it much easier to add in
the small variations here and
there. Either way I tried to give you all the pieces to build the sound up.
[1:53] "Pulse is slow.." base outro riff. Really emphasize the interval:
e|-------8--------8---|-------8----------8----|-------8----------8----|------8
B|-------8--------8---|-------8----------8----|-------8----------8----|------8
G|-----9---9----9---9-|----10---10----10---10-|------(9)--------(9)---|-------
D|--10-------10-------|-12---------12---------|----10---10----10---10-|---10--
A|--------------------|-----------------------|-12---------12---------|-8-----
E|--------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-------
C Dm Am F
---------8-----|
---------8-----|
-10--------10--|
------10-------|
----8----------|
---------------|
[2:27] Riff starts to add some variations, mostly frets 10/12 on the B/high e
string. The F
chord starts to end on the emphasized notes on the G string (Fret 10 -> 9).
Like I said, if you
have a looper it's much easier to add notes over the base riff:
e|------8--------8---|-------8-----------10p8-|-------8-----------8----|------
B|------8--------8---|-------8-----------8----|-------8-----------8----|------
G|----9---9----9---9-|----10---10-----10------|------(9)---------(9)---|------
D|-10-------10-------|-12----------12---------|----10---10-----10---10-|---10-
A|-------------------|------------------------|-12----------12---------|-8----
E|-------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------

Shapes if you want to do some strumming, normal triads sound cool too if you
want something
with a little more prescence. The options below sound great layered on top of
each other.

Alone, electric glow
Static snows in the lobby
Dull TV, magazines
Waiting rooms can't hide me
From the sting, paper sheets
Blood work and the IV
The whirring machines
While the nurses reassure me
This will be quick and easy
I'm not gonna feel a thing
Lie and say it'll be alright
Like a stray falling asleep
'Cause I'm so good at hurting myself
Pulse is slow
Faint metronome on my left side
Beneath my protruding spine
You can hardly hear at night
White flag, blindfold covering my sunken eyes
And a line of rifles aimed at my sick mind
'Cause I'm so good at hurting myself
