Nemesis by David Gray
Nemesis
Cape 2nd fret
Standard tuning
Intro
C G 4x
C G
'Neath an avalanche - soft as moss
C G
I'm a creeping and intangible sense of loss
C G
I'm the memory you can't get out your head
C Am
If I leave you now
Em C G
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
C G
I'm the manta ray - I'm the louse
C G
I am a photograph they found in your burned out house
C G
I'm the sound of money washing down the drain
C Am Em C (G)
I am the pack of lies baby that keeps you sane
CHORUS:
G D
Gates of Heaven are open wide
C Em
God help me baby I'm trapped inside
C Am G
Feel like I'm buried alive
C G...
I'm the bottom line - of the joke
I am ecstasy - spilling like bright egg yoke
I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it - you're trying to wash out of you hair
CHORUS:
Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm lost inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
Possibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and I'll never miss
yes
Verse:
I'm the babe that sleeps through the blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else
I am your nemesis
Baby I'm life sweet life itself
yeah (3x)

version 4
Tuning: Standard
Capo on 2
All tabs relative to capo on 2. You could play this part without a capo, just up the
numbers by two, but the chords in this song are played with a capo, so if you wanted to
play this to lead in to the rest of the song, just throw the capo on. The chords were
already posted on here, so this is just the intro. The numbers in parentheses are alternate
ways to play the little runs that transition the melodies, they are better if your hands
aren't big enough to make the stretches. Hope you like it!
