Blood On The Ground by Incubus
Blood On The Ground
Tuning: Drop D
Notes: This is one of the best songs on the album, this tab is almost 100% complete
the bridge needs alittle work, I'll fix it A.S.A.P. Also on the Part in the intro that
says (A1) use lite phaser and lite distortion then just lite distortion in the rest of
the intro.
Intro: Right as the song begins you do A1 and let it ring for like 5 secs. Then after
that you proceed with A2 straight into A3. Then while playing A3 when the time of the
song is about 00:17 A4 comes in which is a second guitar.

I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground
Oh, oh, yeah, ooh
Hand over my heart, I swear I've tried
Everything I could within all my power
Two weeks and one hour, I slaved
And now I've got nothing to show
Oh, if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall
From now on, I'm going to start holding my breath
When you come around and you flex that fake grin
'Cause something inside me has said more than twice
That breathing less air beats breathing you in, oh
I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground
Oh, ooh
Hand over my mouth, I'm earning the right to my silence
In quiet, discerning between ego and timing
Good judgment is once again proving to me
That it's still worth its weight in gold
From now on, I'm gonna be so much more wary
When you start to speak and my warm blood starts to boil
Seeing you is like pulling teeth
And hearing your voice is like chewing tin foil
Oh, yeah
I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground
Oh, oh, ooh, yeah, ha
High fives to better judgment
By saying less today, I will gain more, gain more
Low twos to you, my, my fickle friend, yeah
You've brought the art of silent war
I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground
Oh, oh, yeah
